Changes and Blessings

So, it's only been what... three weeks? Sorry, folks. Life has been CRAZY [good].  The dress project ended fantastically. It was really weird putting on just a t-shirt and jeans for the first time in over two months, but definitely reinforced how much I take my freedom for granted. We had numerous people join us the second month, which was wonderful! I love how much word about human trafficking has been generated through SO many people participating in this simple act. Amy Seifert was featured on CNN, which is just wonderful - you should check it out. :)

Let's see... I graduated from the University of Dayton - yay!! What a bittersweet time in my life. It was quite the experience and adventure. I had some of the best years of my life and made some of the best friends. And now, I'm on to even more exciting things - interning with Campus Crusade for Christ! this summer I'm raising support and just allowing God to prepare my heart and mind for this upcoming year.


What an exciting time in my life! This is for sure a faith-stretching experience, but oh how blessed I've been throughout the process! The Lord has been revealing so much to me about Himself and my identity in Him. I'm so excited to begin ministering on campus and being a bearer of Christ's message to the students there! (P.S. If any of you would like to know more about my ministry and how you can become invested financially and prayerfully, please do not hesitate to let me know. I'd LOVE to speak with you more about it!)

This is a brief update, but an update nonetheless! Looking forward to blogging more frequently since I know all of you are oh so excited to read about my thoughts on life! ;)

I'll leave you with a quote from Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis...

"Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself."

  1. And by three weeks, I really meant three MONTHS. Oops. :)
