Latest Update on my life.

My my it has been a while since the last time that i have written on here. I think that it is high time that i write on here again......
Well, I have been home from Rosedale a little more than a month now and have been working on "re-entering" back into home life with my family. Its definitly a growing but challenging experience being back at home on little old County Road 40. I will admit that being back at home hasnt been easy for me. I think its definitly been a time where God is telling me to slow down a bit and not be SO involved with social things. A time to really teach me about not depending on my habit of wanting to be constantly doing social things with people. I gues as well of re-learning how to have a social life that isnt automatic like college and reach is. :)
While being back at home God times definitly have become fewer and fewer........But,
I am happy to say that things have gotten much better. I think it began to get better when we had a really good communion service at my church for fathers day. It was such an eye opening sermon.
It was a time where God was really speaking to my heart. Of telling me that He understands how hard it was for me to accept the fact that i wasnt accepted into being on staff with YES ministries. I had thought that i was accepted into the program but it turned out in the end that i was not the right person for the job. So since this God has shown me that i cant just sit here and mope in the idea of failure over working with YES.
So, with Gods help i gathered the gumption to start looking at colleges once again. Even tho, while I was at RBC i was saying that oh I dont think that college is really the place for me. Im kind of thinking that actually i think it might be. But God definitly has worked through me taking steps forward at such a time as this when I dont know what I actually want to do. He worked through my trust that He would work it all out.
And you know what, He has. I got a call from a director from RMM; Todd Miller and it sounds like their may be a strong offer for a two year internship in Gazientep, Turkey. I know, WOW, right!! It is SO SO huge. The only information that I know about it so far is that I would be living with this 70 year old lady who would be my mentor. She seems to a real powerhouse of a lady. She says that she has felt this call in her life at her age to be a prayer warrior in Turkey until the day that she dies. wow, she sounds amazing already. Like this woman has lived life and here she is at her age still fully living it. wow. amazing. :)

Basically the work that i would do is go to turkish language school and take an online course in teaching english as a second language and work at the orphanage down the road, and who knows their could be a possiblilty of hosting future REACH teams and as well go to an english college in the area and have that be a source of outreach as well as i would make friendships there. :) All of this is so big, and I mean Im still processing it all in my mind. I think right now until i find out more information about what is going to happen I am on the fence of going to college and doing this thing in turkey.

So be praying for me folks as I begin to make huge life pin point decisions.
