Preparing for Change

God does things in the strangest, coolest ways. I thought it wasn't going to happen, but it has gone beyond even my wildest imagination.

I'm going to tour with the African Children's Choir. WOW!! It still feels like a dream. I put in my initial application last fall and when it came time for the phone interviews, we had a really hard time getting in touch. I was working 2 jobs and was never home. I had decided that God had closed the door when Christmas came and went and we hadn't been able to connect. But that's when God does unexpected things. I got an e-mail from the volunteer coordinator just after the new year asking to try again! I'm so glad we did.

Two interviews and a month later, I found myself on a plane heading to Langley for a weekend at Camp Brotherhood and the last of part of the interview process. I learned so much about the organization and really found myself grasping the vision. I think the organization itself is amazing and I feel confident about being a part of it.

Last Thursday, I got the call that they had a position for me. Now that the initial shock has worn off, I'm so excited. I know that life on a bus will be hard, but I also know that I am going into an amazing season of discovery, serving, and blessing. It's gonna be an unbelievable journey. And I can't wait.

I've kept this secret so long that it seems strange to be able to put it in writing. God's faithfulness overwhelms me. Even in the down times, he is putting a path before us that leads to great joy. I'm ready for this ride. I'm ready to soar.
