Well... It has been a while... a VERY long while since I have actually posted on here. So I figured it was time to give a little update.
I have officially graduated from UMHB. What an exciting time it was. Seems unreal that 4 years have already gone by so quickly but the Lord has done so much in my life in the past 4 years. I have grown and developed in many many ways.
I have just been working at an orthotic and prostheic company in Temple. I got an apartment here with one of my friends who graduates in May 2010. Currently I am working towards becoming a certified interpreter. I will hopefully be taking the first test in July. And if all goes well take the second one in September.
As of now there are no solid concreate plans to go back to Honduras. I am always looking and trying to figure things out. I'm really hoping to start working for a school district so that I would have summers off with a bigger potential of being able to do Summer Missions.
I know God is working it all out so for now... I am trusting in him. He is really teaching me trust right now and reliance on him for the future. Because as much as I would love to be doing missions right now and really know that's what I'm suppose to do I know he has me in the states for a reason.
Alright, well that's all the news I have. Just planning the wedding waiting for the groom to get back from Iraq. I will keep everyone posted on any plans that may arise for a return trip!

Future is Looming...
Well the "real" world is right around the corner. Infact I am only 3 and a half months away from joining it! AHH!!! Ha! Graduation is near I am only a few days away from starting my last semester and all I can think in my head is where did the time go?
I have been planning for my future after graduation since I have gotten back from Honduras and the last post I wrote. I have prayed about it and thought about it and prayed some more about it. Don't get me wrong I would love to go back to Honduras long term or even for 6 months after I graduate until my fiance comes home. The possibility of this is not likely.
I did not grow up in a family that is extremely wealthy. All of the mission trips I have ever been on-- all of the support goes to my network of supporters that continually walk beside me and support me in all that I do. I have not lost my dream and passion for missions. If I didn't owe money on loans I would be back in a heart beat.
However, at this point in my life and for the next year or two I will be working to pay off those loans... inorder to enter the mission field debt free. I do not want my debt looming over my head and the heads of my supporters. I just got a new job that has a LOT of potential not only to help toward that goal but also potential for the mission field. God put that job right in front of me and I got it so I know it is straight from him.
I of course will be trying my hardest to get back over there for some short term work and will be keeping you all posted on that... but until then I am pursing my lifetime goal one short term goal at a time and that is currently working to pay off loans.
