Summer

So in the past month I've been stressing majorly about what I was going to do this summer. When I found out I wasn't going to Myrtle Beach, my heart sank. I had counted on that and was looking forward to it. However, this obviously was not God's plan for me. The coordinator in Myrtle sent all of my information to North American Mission Board and told me to apply because he thought that I was extremely qualified. I ended up applying and finding a summer missionary job in Chicago. It seemed like a far stretch since they were looking for only one person and that meant my chances of going were much smaller than I expected. I contacted the coordinators there and built a relationship with them within a couple of emails. My application went through and I was waiting ( quite impatiently)for the email that would determine my summer plans. Luckily that email came sooner than I thought and I discovered that I AM GOING TO CHICAGO!!!!!! After being "rejected" from one missions opportunity, I got really worried that no one would want me. It made me feel like a boy broke my heart and made me insecure, and then someone comes along and he wants to be with me just as much as I want to be with him. It's a perfect match! I haven't experienced this exact sensation, which is totally fine with me, but that's what I associated it with. I feel like I'm worth something! God's got a plan for me this summer and it wasn't in Myrtle Beach, no matter how much I thought it was. I'm going to be in THIRD largest city in the United States. What an opportunity! This is definitely not in my comfort zone, and Satan keeps trying to tell me that if I'm not comfortable, it's not right. But you know what? Satan's a liar! I might be nervous out of my mind of all these new experiences, but this is exactly where I need to be. God's going to transform my life in ways I can't even imagine! I'm so excited :) All of this being said, I'm going to create a different blog for the summer so I can share my experiences both spiritual and non-spiritual. If you'd be interested in following that let me know :) AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
