staying in indiana

i have a plan. decisions have been made.

after i finish this semester at purdue (tear) i will finish up my remaining classes over the course of summer school. and by remaining classes, i mean the 15 credits i have to cram into one 4-week session and one 8-week session. thank the Lord for online classes!

then in mid-august for Purdue's fall semester, to finish my degree i will be doing an internship and then graduate in december. the big delima was...

leo, indiana

or

atlanta, georgia

???

over the past year i have felt a growing burden and passion for young girls who are victims of forced prostituiton or entagled in the hideous business of sex trafficking. a really great organization in atlanta was brought to my attention. while i believe it would have been a great experience...i didn't feel it was the right time or where God wanted me right now.

so instead...

i have accepted an internship at gateway woods in the foster care dept. and then after i finish my internship i will most likely stay on as a foster care case manager. i'm really excited for this opportunity and feel so blessed to have such a great job option!

along with the great work environment and a job description that i feel fits me perfectly...there's the HUGE benefit of living near molly again. i honestly never expected to get to live in the same city as molly, jarod, and my sweet marlee & miles again...

of course, as with most things in my life, i tend to hesitate to say things are for certain because going off of my past...they are ALWAYS subject to change. :) but as of now, i feel pretty confident this one's going to work out.

as much as i'm excited about having a plan and getting some things in order, i'm also excited that there are still unknowns. variables that factor in to the next year that will have a big impact on it, but i have NO clue how they will go. i guess God just knows me well enough to keep me guessing in some areas, otherwise i would be bored...
