Thousandth Wind

I am constantly in awe of God's timing and planning. While I still feel infinitely far away from where I want my life to be I can almost feel his authorship in a tangible way. From my past posts it may be obvious but God has really been laying Muslims on my heart in an intense way. I do not feel at home in American culture even a little bit and the culture of Muslim countries is in an odd way very appealing to me. But, even more than that I think my rebel heart longs to love the culture that many of the Church's members rally to hate. I say all of that to attest to God's providence. He has placed in my life someone who is drawn to those same things in the same way. I honestly believe that God is setting my life up for what He has for me one day. I don't know how else to describe it but that I feel His authorship in my life. In the Past month it seems that everyone in my life has caught the fire of missions. My roommate and best friend are desiring in  new way to have a hand in missions and want their summer vacations to be missions trips. My parents and family are planning on doing mission trip this summer as well. It feels as though God is readying everything around me.
This hippi chick has decided to sell out to the man and work a corporate job for a year maybe slightly more and pay off all my debts and get myself in a position to drop it all and go. There are so many opportunities for internships with great organizations that I could not take right now. Pray with me for a job that will help me in this.
