Blog > Bedtime

Yeah, it's the first week of the semester and I have given myself a bedtime. I guess more importantly, I have given myself a set waking time every day. Well, it's my second night in Kirksville and I'm already reminded that life here is sometimes too full for strict schedules and bedtimes. That being said, I'd still like to keep this short (ha), because I love my bed and my sleep very much. But I have so much to say in this moment. We'll see what happens.

First of all, I have another exciting Mission Year update :)
I heard from Sarah again this afternoon, setting me up with an interviewer! I e-mailed her a list of possible times and dates when I could have an hour-long interview over the phone or Skype this week, and I am hoping to hear back with a set time tomorrow! I also learned today that I should hear in about two weeks after my interview whether or not I get accepted. And then it's full speed ahead if I commit. This is all happening so quickly, which I honestly think is a huge blessing. If things continue at this rate, I anticipate knowing something significant about my future in less than a month.

**It's Tuesday morning, and I just checked my e-mail, and I now have a phone interview with a girl named Kate Thursday at 5:15 pm! Bah!**

Probably the coolest part of this update is that the Bible has been rocking my world recently. :) I'm so glad to be able to say that. I've still been reading about Abraham (what an interesting walk he walked with the Lord). I've also been reading a lot of Jesus' words. I had this thought earlier, and it put a huge smile on my face: I'm falling in love with Jesus again, but I'm also learning what it means to fear him. Both of these things are a huge deal for me, so the fact that they're happening simultaneously is really fantastic. God sees me and hears my cries, and he is quick to respond. I am loved.

I might add more about these Jesus words tomorrow. I'm sleepy, and I'm six minutes out from my postponed bedtime. :) Thanks for reading and encouraging. I hope my ramblings might somehow be an encouragement to whoever reads them.

PS. Yesterday while I was driving I realized that my love for sunsets and all things beautiful might make me a reckless driver. I'd say it's worth it.
