Next...

over the past few months lots of people have asked me what's next in my life (understandably). up til now my answer has been "i don't know. seeking God for what's next. trying to be faithful to what He is doing in my life here and now." and its true, i'll continue to seek God -and strive to be faithful to the work that He is doing right now...but that "i don't know" part has changed!

i recently accepted an internship with International Justice Mission. Woo-hoo!

its an organization that has been on my heart for awhile - and that God has used in incredible ways in my personal journey...and that i'm thrilled to be able to partner with. They have a great website where you can find out all about their work - www.ijm.org

as for some details, i'll head to training (in the states) in mid-january, then i'll be off to South Asia soon after. There are lots of details i don't know...the exact length of stay, when my official leave date is, what size suitcase to buy..ect.

so...i'm preparing for this great adventure - with lots of questions...and excitement...amazed that i get to "live the dream" and i'm a bit of nervous too.
