In the Winter of my last year at Cal Poly, I came to the realization that I did not want to go into the world of corporations, careers and 9-5's straight away after graduation. Come January, I applied to a few different volunteer programs and prayed fervently that God would open and close doors to force me onto the path He planned for me...stubborn faith I like to call it... e.g. push me where You want me to go, because, left to my own decision making abilities, we both know I won't end up where You've planned for me to thrive.
The weeks and months passed...doors closed and, thanks be to God, one also opened. Now, here I am, utterly terrified yet inexplicably confident that I am going and doing exactly what God has intended for me. This August I'll be headed to a small town in Hungary called Magyarmecske. I'll be working with a minority population known as the Roma people, and I am so, so, soooo excited to pursue God's will through this trip.
It will mean so much to me, to have your support and prayers throughout this journey. Not to mention it would be incredibly nice to maintain a connection to the states while I am fully immersed in a new culture, a new language and a new way of life.
I hope you will stay tuned! I'll try to keep my posts to a minimum while still sharing the experience, so you don't fall asleep while reading :)
Viszlát!
