Home Again

I apologize. I've been home for 3 weeks and haven't written anything! Graduation was emotional and full of memories. My trip home was full of delays, cancellations, and expensive airport food. Oh, and the cold! I left the DR's 75 degree weather, and came home to below 30 weather. Lots of snow, ice on the roads, and flip flops are a no-go. Transitioning has been rough, but with God, Skype, Dominican coffee, and good friends both here and scattered around the world. Literally - the world! God taught me so much while I was gone: I need to be who I am in Him, not what others want me to be or who they see me as. I am to write children's devotional books and use the money to send out missionaries; I am called to stay in the States and be an editor as well. My biggest calling is to work with women and children who know little to no English, helping them with homework, trips to the doctor, or finding jobs. I start college at Grace College in Winona Lake, Indiana this January. Orientation is on the 24th! I will be focusing on English (literature, grammar, etc.), with a double minor of Spanish (a potential major) and Behavioral Science. Along with my Spanish concentration, I am required to complete a semester abroad! I plan to fulfill this semester while in Madrid, Spain! Another adventure that is sure to add length to this blog site. :) I want to thank you all once again for your prayers and encouragement!
