Continued Change

Change is good...but, I don't like change. I guess I am going to get over that quickly in the next five days. The Guatemala countdown continues as we have come to FIVE-5-cinco days until we depart! I am getting more and more excited...and more and more nervous too!

Thank you for those of you who had been praying for Papa's procedure. It went well and he is home now. Of course, there are limitations for a few days: no driving/sitting up for more than one hour, no going up and down stairs for two days, etc. He is tired, sore, and groggy. But hopefully we will see how well this procedure worked in the next few days/week! Please continue to lift him up in your prayers.

As you can see, I have changed the layout of my blog. Just a small change because, well, it's a fun change and I can handle this change without much effort.

Here's another "change" that seems to be occurring in me: I am getting more and more adventurous, at least that's what I am starting to think. I recently had dinner with a good friend of mine only to find out that she is taking a semester off from school to complete the Focus Leadership Institute that is put on by Focus on the Family. After her telling me all about it, I got SO excited. More excited for another person than I have been in a looong time! So naturally, I started doing some research. I have officially "bookmarked" the website for the institute and am doing a lot of praying. For some reason I feel this urge to apply for it! Mind you, I wouldn't be able to do it for at least a year. I have to finish school and then work for a little while (it is kind of pricey). But I submitted an inquiry about it and told them that I would be interested in the Spring 2013 program! While this would be yet another adventure in my life, I keep telling myself that I need to do these kinds of things NOW...while I'm young! :) Check out the link to their website and see for yourself how awesome it would be! If it worked out, I could even do an internship with "Enfoque en la familia", the Spanish version of Focus on the Family! How cool!

Change is inevitable in this life and it is occurring all around me. Some change is not fun. But some change, well, it's awesome. Who knows where God is leading me, I could become a mountain woman after a semester in Colorado Springs!
