Ok, so lots of people have been giving me subtle and not so subtle comments that I'm not posting very much lately :) LOL! So, I decided it had been two months and I should really blog some about what's happening in life for me right now....
Currently I'm interning with the state office of Woman's Missionary Union here in KY. That has been an awesome opportunity for me to have a platform for speaking in various churches and really encouraging churches to embrace more diversity in their church, speaking to Hispanic churches and providing them with resources and support to get their group more involved in missions, and also speaking at several acteens (Christian teen girls) events around the state. It has been pretty cool to see the networking of meeting lots of people from around the state doing some great things for God and also to meet several international missionaries at the National Meeting up in Indy in May. I am about halfway through my internship and starting to be in the office less and less and more out on the streets meeting and speaking with different groups! I love that part of it and am excited to see one group in particular in the south part of Louisville that is growing and seeing their Hispanic church really catch on to the vision of God's Heart for all peoples and are doing something about it in their area! Go Shively! :)
This week I am speaking in a woman's group in a local church that has almost no diversity in their church so please pray that I speak with grace and am not harsh on this group but encouraging them in loving all races that God created.
I am also working full time at Ann Taylor as the sales lead which keeps me busy. Its a lot of fun because I am running into clients and friends from when I lived here in Ky before, small world. Also, a lot of the sales associates and my co-managers are still the same group so its fun to reconnect. Ann Taylor is a huge financial blessing to me as it is allowing me to buy another car. (Sad, for those of you who didn't know I sold my much loved Jeep Wrangler, Isaac, before moving to Mexico) Also, I am moving into my much anticipated apartment August 1st. In the meantime......
Nathaniel is house shopping... Woohoo! Super exciting :) We are really wanting to make sure we start out on the right foot as much as we can prepare ourselves for. He is really good with finances, business and the like. Thank God, because those are areas I am weak and he totally compliments me on. So we are both trying to save like crazy and see what kind of good deal we can get for our first place. :)
And of course, I'm loving all the good catch-ups with friends. I recently went to Bristol, TN with Manecia to go and visit our friend Lindsey. We had so much fun hanging out with her and helping with her two kiddos. Back in April when I first got to the states I spent 10 days in Texas with my roommate from Florida, Hope, having some awesome time together and touring around Texas. That is her and I in the picture at a fun Texas Roadhouse! :) I'm getting ready to travel up to Iowa to attend my cousin Tera's wedding, where I will be sporting a fabulous choice turquoise bridesmaid dress. :) So yep, doing a lot of travel, hanging out with old friends, and finding my place again in Ky...
I think those are the highlights of what comes to mind of what's been the beginning of my season back home in Kentucky....I promise, I'll try and stay more updated on here guys ;)
Enjoy the day you've been given. Heck, even skip a little down the street today, for after all.......
THE LOVE OF GOD IS FOLLY!
