A lot has happened since my last post. The biggest thing being that I went to Greece over Spring Break. I knew beforehand that God was going to work in me on this trip, and that it would be another life changing trip for me like Mission Arlington and I was correct. God began to show me some things He has in store for my future and I'm so excited. We had a media team follow us around and keep a website updated with posts, pictures, and video of us during the trip. (iwcstories.com) The media team not only followed us around taking pictures and video, but they were able to get involved with what we were doing. They didn't just take a backseat position to us and let opportunities pass them by. If they had a chance to speak with the Greeks like we were doing then they jumped right in and spoke. The media team made me realize that there are positions out there in my field that really can make a difference. Prior to this trip I had told my mom on more than one occasion that I wanted to do something that made a difference in my field, but up until this trip I had no idea what I could do. Well, one thing God showed me on this trip is that I can take my talents anywhere in the World and use them for Him, which is just amazing. I'm learning not to limit God. He knows my passions. He knows I love art and kids, and that I want to make a difference and I truly believe he will use me. I now know at least one thing for sure about my future and that is that I want to do something with my passions out on the mission field. I was also directed to a website that has mission trips just for art majors on this trip, and the media team also gave me one of their cards to keep in contact. It's amazing how many opportunites I learned there are out there for someone like me that I had no clue, prior to this trip, existed. Wow. I can't wait to see what God has in store for me.
On another note, we signed up for classes for next semester and I'm pretty sure I'm crazy. I'm going to be taking 18 hours and 2 of those classes are languages because I couldn't make up my mind and I'm kind of wanting a challenge. Yeah, I'm wierd, I know, but I don't care. haha I'll be taking New Testament Greek, French I, Art for Children, Illustration, Portfolio I, and Web Design. I'm actually really looking forward to most of my classes next semester. I'm really excited about Art for Children. That just sounds like such a fun class. Anyway, it's late, and I'm tired. Goodnight. :)
