This is such a profound greeting. I wish it was a regular greeting in our society. To wish upon one another Grace, grace to forgive, grace to love, grace to live life. Grace. To wish peace, a place of peace in Jesus because in one place all is right, everything is perfect. We find peace from the stress of daily life, we find the peace from our struggle with letting go of the old self and taking on the new. I can't tell you how many times in this struggle so intensely I loose all concept of peace. But to be able to just be able to choose God and find these powerful blessings of grace and peace. I wish grace and peace to each who read this.
A quick "catch-up" on my life. Two weeks left of school and then I submit my nursing school application. Knowing the competition and my grades it's going to be a miracle if I get in. I mean that in honesty not being hard on myself. So I realized I need a plan B for next year. So God has been adimetely leading me towards and internship here at my church. It's scary and way out of my comfort zone. But several of my "but this wont work because..." have been eliminated and I finally relented and said ok God if this is what you want, ok. I'm scared it's going to be hard, but ok. This internship will give me a lot of ministry experience and the opportunity to grow and work in a team to accomplish ministry goals. We will also go on a mission trip at the end of the year and I'll be taking bible courses which would satisfy my bible credit needs in order to enter the mission field with World Venture, who's been working with me to help prepare me for the time to go. I would get one on one mentor ship by one of the pastors' wives on a weekly basis and live in a host home for the duration.
So life is a toss up and a mix of unknowns until around the end of July I'll know which I will be going to do for the next year of my life.
