Wow, it has been almost two months since I have updated the blog. Really there is not excuse other than good old procrastination. Since that exciting Fourth of July, I finished my term at MDS and came home and am getting ready to head off to BC for TREK.
I am glad that I served with MDS, it was always a desire of mine and I am glad that God opened that door. 5 months at one time was great but not again. If and when I serve again it will be for a shorter time. MDS is a very intense ministry and so short is good. I came away from this time with new friends, new skills and many new experiences that I will carry with me for a life time.
My time at home has been relaxing and restful which has been good. Crazy to think that it is almost over and I will not be back home to see family for almost a year. I am excited for what is in store. However, at times it does seem that I am hopping from one thing to the next. I do wonder if I am running from something or what am I searching for? I do not doubt the plans that God has laid out for me. At times it is tiring not to have an answer for those who ask ‘what do you do’ or ‘what are you hoping to do with your degree’. The birthday is just around the corner and a time of reflection over the life I have lived has taken place and seemingly it does not seem like a lot. I am restless but maybe this next chapter will hold some answers.
TREK starts September 3. I am hoping to touch base with some friends on the way out to BC. I will be driving out with my sister as she is headed out to Seattle. She has a little car that we will be traveling with. It is a standard car which is great for her. Although I am not skilled in the art of driving standard and this skill I have yet to learn. I am to do my share of driving which should prove to be interesting. Hopefully we will depart safely in BC still loving each other.

Hey Nicole
I feel like i can identify with your feelings of hopping from one thing to the other - as i share about my life it's like this... '2 years working retail, 1 year TREK, 2 years working in the bank, then 2 years at Bethany (does 2 seem to be the magic number?) - and yet i feel for me that was just part of the journey and steps to figuring out what God has/had for me (not that i know it all yet!). I'm excited for your TREK experience, and whatever it is God has in store for your placement and for the future. Have a wonderful birthday!
Oh Nic, can I express how I am very excited to have you here in my home? I know it is just for a night, but I will pray that the peace I have found here will somehow work it's way to your heart as well. I'm so sorry to read again about your family and grandparents, yet I am happy to read about all that god has been doing in you. Ah my dear dear roomie! See you soon!
