If you haven't read previous post, read now.
I'll just dive in sans-segue.
I will be an intern this summer for SportQuest Ministries and will again travel with them to Belgium from July 19-August 8/9-ish. (Three weeks total).
Yesterday, SQ president Kent called me in absolute, unvarnished excitement.
He wants my fellow intern Laura and I to ALSO go to Kenya with SQ this summer.
*pause, reflect*
AHHHHHHHH!
okay, now I'm retracting back into practical mode, because it's $4000 extra dollars, and let's face it, I've never even had $4000 at once, so that's a lot of money for me, who still feels like a kid, who is graduating in less than a month, and who has no real direction for her life (which is okay.)
The experience was good because I've felt nearly-spiritually-dead for a while, although I've felt somewhat on the uprise. But I've thought about it, prayed about it (in my own way="Hey God, ummmm dude, tell me what to do. I got nothin' but I'm obsessed with Africa and I wannnnnna gooooooooooooo!")
I met with a pastor about it, too, and he is very encouraging about it. I'm single, unattached, and want to take advantage of my spastic, energetic youthfulness. (Which is why I applied to the Peace Corps, remember?)
I know a lot of people don't read this, and I'm not trying to advertise for support. And I don't like asking for prayer that often, either.
But I really want to form some relationships with complete strangers this summer, and I would love to maintain relationships I've already built in Belgium.
If you have any advice or any spare money (because i KNOW we ALL have THAT, right?), please send a little my way. Apparently, I'm not aggressive enough with fund-raising. Well, I'm not. I don't like doing it, I don't like asking for money, and I'd rather supply the money myself. But I'm in love with this organization and the way God uses it. It's all about loving people, not about converting to increase "Saved!" tally marks. This is one of my humanitarian avenues, and I ask you to please--please help me with this--especially since my yard sale this weekend is canceled due to poopy weather. :(
