Seven days from today I will be a college graduate. I will have my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education. As of next week I will not have homework daunting my every thought, writing assignments cosuming my life and dinner while I am driving. Change is coming and I am excited.
Another change that is coming, as most of you know, is that Casey is going to medical school. Soon we will be making a choice that will impact the next four years of our life. So many people have said, "Four years is not that long!" In the scope of things it is not, but four years is not something I am willing to waste. We want to serve the Lord and do so whereever we have been called, we are not just picking a place to stop in.....I hope that makes sense. So, where ever we do end up chosing, please know a tremendous amount of prayer was put into it.
Oh wait, another change! I am currently working at a tax office and will be doing so full time until April 30th. Casey is currently working at a lab on OSU campus and his job will be completed on April 15th. Although I can substitue starting May 1st, God has put it on Casey and I's heart to travel to Tijuana. Casey has been down there too many times to count and while down there works at a drug rehabilitation center that a church runs. I have been down there once and (obviously) have a huge heart of children. Our plan so far, if God so desires, is to spend about four weeks working with the families of the church we are partners with, helping at an orphanage and organizing medical recards at the drug rehab center. Please pray for us as we have many choices to make.
Guess what? ANOTHER CHANGE! We are moving. We are not ready to announce and have not made a final decision on where we are headed, but we will be moving soon. If we do in fact go to Mexico, we will move in June or July, however if we do not end up going we may be moving sooner.
Gosh, God is good. Life is forever changing and will continue to change but one thing that we continue to rely on is His love. Thank you for all your prayers and please know that we pray for all of you!
