I'm Going to Italy! (part 1)

I don't even know where to begin in describing what was going on in my heart the last week.

I've tried a few times to write down everything but it's a long story. Too long for my little blog page.

Basically, the choice came down to using my money for going on the missions trip to Belize for spring break, or going to Italy during the summer. I really felt God leading me to go to Belize even though Italy is what I truly wanted to do and what I should do, academically speaking. But then He opened a door for me to go to Italy for fall semester... on scholarship. So that means I can use my savings for Belize.

And now I get to do both... :)

Thank you Lord. I saw You working this week and I am so thankful. Thank you for directing me about next year, and speaking into my heart.

Once again, my life is just a testimony of His faithfulness. He does not leave us to figure things out on our own. He does not leave us to suffer. He does not leave us to our own strength. He does not leave us alone. He does not leave us. Ever.

Nothing is certain, but if we're walking with Him, we'll be walking in His perfect plan for our lives. It's not about worrying about His will and the plan and our direction; it's about making sure we're following Him, that we're pointing our lives in His direction- that's the best we can do and it's maybe all we're asked to do.

So, I get to apply to Italy now. *Big Smile*
