I have bought tickets to go visit Colorado. Super excited about that, more so than turning 21.
I still hope to be living there come November. Seems time is running out. Yesterday, I went back to see when I responded to Gayle's posting looking for childcare. Just five weeks before she hired me. In five weeks my life went from going nowhere fast to working for the coolest people ever. And I really miss that job. I find it hard to believe God called me back to California, since it seems to have been disaster after disaster, but thanks to old writings, I am reminded that he gave some pretty darn convincing reasons.
Had I not worked for Gayle, I would not be a Compassion sponsor today. Compassion is not just some organisation I send some money to every month. By this ministry, I have become more educated about the state of the world and I have learned so much more about the love of God. I actually care about strangers.
sigh. . .I do truly believe being back in Colorado Springs would be right. Not fully sure why.
This life is so crazy, and I have no idea what the next year holds. Heck, I do not even know what the next two months have in store for me. But I do know one thing. Whether I reside in Colorado again or not, those 16 months were some of the best in my life, and have changed me for good. As in both beneficially and permanently.
P.S. If you click the first place I mention Gayle, you can read the cool stuff she wrote on the Compassion blog.
