April, What?

Today is April 1st, 2010.....O where did March go.

A great deal has happen since I last posted anything to my  blog.  I traveled to Nicaragua in the beginning of March.  It was an amazing experience.  I enjoyed getting up every morning at 6:30AM to a cold shower with running water and sitting on the porch enjoying the amazing scenario around me.  (For the record, the water only runs two times a day)  It was great to also slow the pace of life down.  The Nicaragua people enjoy the moment by not rushing.  A meeting that was scheduled at 2PM could start anywhere from 2-3PM.  This trip made me realize that God has blessed me so much and He has allowed me to travel the world showing his love to others.  We had no agenda and it was great to see what a group of people can do without the same equipment we use everyday like washers, dryers, stoves, microwaves, and running water.  I know that the Nicaraguans blessed me and I was able to meet some amazing people.  I can only hope that one day God will allow me to go back to that great country to continue to expand on the relationships I have started and to love on those people.

March was a transition.  After spring break I wanted to stop attending school, but I had to snap back into the mindset of a student because I still have a few more weeks left.  This month I also decided I am going to start attending sessions with a spiritual mentor.  My desire is to go deeper in Christ and to continue to show His love and compassion to this World.  

Well today is April 1st....and I know that I have to buckle down and prepare for my departure as an undergraduate student.  I am excited for the transition but I am nervous because for four years I have known the same route and have worked at the same employment.  Now it is time to move on and continue the work God has prepared me for.  I am ready to move to my new season of life.  I know that I will be leaving people behind and moving to another State, but I do know that I will be back.  I love my family and no matter where God takes me, they will always be in my thoughts and prayers. 

So this is it....April is upon me and my life is full of many different meetings, events, and graduation.  I am staying in Michigan until August and this summer I am going to enjoy every moment with my family and friends. 

So until next time, I am out.   J
