I leave for Chicago in exactly 28 days and I'm super excited about it, but I'm also nervous. If you know me really well, you'll know that I'm not a fan of the unexpected and Chicago is filled with the unexpected for me right now. The things that I'm most anxious about are the silly things that I know will be completely fine once I get there. I can't wait to find out who I'll be living with and doing life with the most while I'm in Chicago.
The preparations for Chicago is more intense than I thought it was going to be. My support raising is going pretty well and I only have God to thank for that. I know that He will provide for this trip as He has provided me with my salvation that I don't deserve. However, my job searching isn't going as I had planned. I thought it would have been slightly easier to get a job, but it definitely isn't. And it doesn't help that I don't have much job experience or even job searching experience to say the least. I will have to say though, trying to find a job has really shown me that it is NOT in my power, but in God's. We also have to read a book that basically goes through the entire Bible and gives a good overview of how it is all connected. "God's Big Picture" is actually pretty interesting, but I just need to get through the study questions at the end of the chapters. Oh help me!
So, to finish off this post, I'm so excited about Chicago, and I am ready to see how God is going to challenge me this summer and break me down. I'm going to let myself allow God to be my guide this summer and not myself (this is definitely my prayer for now). I'm excited for ya'll to join me on my adventures this summer as I go Dancin' in the City for Christ!
-Isaiah 49:6
