Good morning, Sunshine!

Well not literally… since I haven’t seen the sun since Wednesday… but I finally got my day started off right! With prayer. And it curved any “down in the dumps” moods I might have otherwise felt! Amazing how starting your day with God can brighten up the rest of it. Especially on gloomy days like this (although they happen to be my favorite).

Things I need to do but don’t want to

• Write missions support letter
• Find out what address to send my deposit to
• Get my transcripts sent from CofC and Trident to the Art Institute

I’m sure there is more but I can’t think of any right now :/

The Ball is Rolling

So looks like things are rolling. I talked to my parents last night. They are fully supportive. I talked  to my bosses yesterday and now I will most likely leave even earlier than expected. I am going to be applying for the October quarter at the Art Institute. It makes me incredibly sad to leave my job. I love it! And I don’t know how I will leave Caleb…I was planning on being there as he grew up… :/ In Joyce Meyer’s book, The Confident Woman she says,

Each time in life we gain something, we give up something to get it. You sacrifice and then you reap the seed you have sown.

I am applying today. And so begins the journey of sowing and reaping. Sacrificing and gaining. Lead on, God.

Umm…what?

So my phone call with the director of admissions today is going to change my future drastically if all goes well. And I have found myself, for the first time in my life, getting excited when other people are talking about school. Why? Because I feel that this is where God might be calling me. And it is something I would love to do. I have always said that I wanted to do something helping people and I’m not sure how photography fits into that. But I have already started thinking of ways that I could use photography to help others. I am so thankful that I don’t have to worry about it though because if this is where God is calling me, he will give me a purpose within it.

I don’t know what I would do without the support of Bill. He is the only one who supports me in what I want to do and most importantly what God is calling me to do, whether it is something he is particularly fond of or not. Sometimes I think he is the only person on earth who gets me. And I love it. I hope I get to spend the rest of my life with him

This morning has been great and I have gotten myself into a good mood by thinking non stop. Usually doing that ends up putting me in a negative mood. Maybe I am getting better at this stuff

…So I made the call and missed her again I hope she calls back soon! I am getting anxious! Patience Patience Patience… is a virtue.

New chapter

Okay, so I am about to make a call that could possibly change my future a good deal. I don’t feel prepared. I don’t feel qualified. But I am excited. And that might be the one thing that makes this a reality rather than just a fleeting thought like most other things that pass through my eclectic mind.
