I forgot to mention something...

I realize now how my last post may have sounded somewhat depressing. I also realized yesterday that I forgot to tell you a major part of my trip and how it is currently affecting how I think about things.

A year and a half ago when I left Indiana to go work at Camp Lutherwood in Bellingham, Washington I created a prayer that I continued to pray every single day I was in Washington. 

Here it is: 

"Dear God, please help me to keep my mind, heart, and eyes open to you and what you desire to do today and in this place."

For some reason I stopped praying this prayer when I returned home and slowly forgot about the words I would repeat every morning or night. Thanks to my lovely roommate I was reminded of my prayer again during my first day in Washington. I was unpacking my bag when I found an encouraging letter from her and at the bottom it said to "keep an open mind, heart, and ears for God." Not only was I super appreciative of the friend I spend my life with, but I was also amazed at how a prayer I had not said in a year and a half became present again in the state I left it in.

I kept the letter and prayer in my heart and went about my trip shopping and spending time with friends. On the preview day for the Seattle school, the admissions director started off the day by asking everyone "to keep their minds, hearts, and ears open for what God may be speaking to them that day."

Okay, hold up! Two times this prayer is being repeated to me by people who had no idea that had been my prayer when I was here last time. I think I got goose-bumps at this point and tried to not freak out.

Another event also played a huge part into my life that week. So you know these cool fortune things: 

Well, I spent 50 cents and got a good old fortune. I did not expect the fortune to be right at all, but boy was I wrong. Now let me preference, I do not believe in witch-craft or wizardry (although it would be really cool if it existed), but what was written on my fortune is really hard not to believe in. I would call it more of a God moment than anything! The fortune said that I would be receiving a letter soon that could change my life dramatically and I deserve this because of the faith I have shown. A letter that would change my life=graduate school, possibly the Seattle school. 

There were multiple points in my trip when I was reminded God was at work and that He does have a plan for me even if He waits to reveal it to me.

So with that said, the Seattle school has not been ruled out for me. It just has not been ruled in either. I am waiting on God's direction and timing. But isn't this all so cool?!
