It's been awhile since I blogged last. My last post was a difficult one to write and life took off on a wild couple of weeks.
Since then, I have had some awesome and encouraging encounters... but here's a little update!
I have decided to push graduation back until May 2014. Post graduation, I hope to attend grad school to get my masters degree, what degree and which school is still to decided but I am looking at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary for Christian Education:Youth Ministry. That being said, the reason for pushing my graduation back is to take a full year of Greek here at A&M before graduating with my undergrad. It is a bittersweet moment, because I have been so ready to graduate and see what God has in store for me, but through this decision, I have already seen God's provision and evidence that this is where I need to spend my next year.
SOOO my blog is slightly incorrect. I have yet another 10 months to go before graduation!
Because I will be here for a full year, I took a leap of faith and applied for a leadership position in the organization I am in. Christian Business Leaders(CBL) has been my college station family for the last 2 years. I am so encouraged by the love and support that I have received from the people in this group and I wanted to allow God to use me if He saw fit. I applied for Member Development. Basically, that job sums up everything I want to do with my life. Investing in people my generation and younger in the most difficult times in their lives; Middle School, High School and College. I went through application and interview for the position. I got a call from the female Co-Director, Lily and it was the most awkward phone call ever initially. We made about 2 seconds of small talk until Lily said something to the effect of "Merritt and I really want to be transparent and up front about the whole process and I have some things I want to say to you so just hear me out." I was so freaked out and a little uncomfortable about what she was about to say. She went on to tell me that I was not chosen to be the MD for exec this year. BUT Lily then told me that she and Merritt wanted me on their staff and wanted to offer me the Financial Admin position. Simply put, I have no idea what to do, but I said "lets go!" So I am on exec for staff next year and I could not be more excited. I get to serve with some of my very best friends and I am anxious to see what God has in store for this organization.
Really God is doing some crazy things in my life and I am daily encouraged by His provisions.
