blessed.

so this has been a really cool week. the other day, on wednesday i got a letter in the mail from a friend. it was a really encouraging letter about my trip to Romania. she said so many encouraging things that it made my heart miss her so much. you see, this friend moved somewhere far away to go teach. she is doing great things but i haven't seen her in almost a year and it is sad... but alone with this letter was a check for my trip to Romania. when i saw it almost cried. it was for $500. yes i typed that right. $500. WOW. that is so amazing. i am still speechless about it.

then on thursday and friday we had three of our kids from youth group in Newaygo here at GBC. they were here for Expedition which is a fun time where high schoolers come stay at the college for two nights and they hang out and do all kinds of fun stuff. So one night for dinner we took our kids out and just got a chance to hang out with them outside of church and outside of Grace. it was so fun. i am so glad that they came.

i also heard from Jodi about why my trip was delayed. it makes sense. i am actually glad because now i have a little more time to spend with my family. i also have the chance to go interview for a job outside of michigan, which i wouldn't have had time to do if i had left on my original date. things are really falling into place. i am so excited and i am so blessed.

i have 13 days until i graduate from college. and i have 43 days until i leave for romania. i am so excited.
