well, i am home from orientation for new staff (ONS) in madison, wisconsin. that was the longest and best 10 days of my summer thus far. why madison? that's where interVarsity's headquarters reside...but i still don't know how they landed in wisconsin. perhaps there are some mysteries i will never solve.
so. it was 10 days of fund development training...meeting amazing new people...visiting the national office...bonding with my region and small group...eating fantastic amounts of ethnic food...training in developing multiethnic witnessing communities within our chapters...tough conflicts/conversations...facing things from my past that i *thought* i had reconciled...and tons and tons of prayer.
it was exactly what i needed.
God never ceases to amaze me. He has spoken to me on various fronts...and i am ready to hear more.
so i am home. to continue my fund development...but with a few more amazing people to walk beside me.
and i see His provision.
so i think i am really learning to stop asking "what if" and proclaiming "let go" instead.
thanks be to God and God alone.

how i roll.
so.
a sizable chunk of my letters have been mailed...and i will send a few more tomorrow. *phew*
now begins the daily checkage of the mailbox to see God's provision arrive through the united states postal service.
i have not been able to secure a part-time job...leaving me somewhat stir-crazy as i adapt to a different set of activities to keep me occupied.
i spend every morning doing laps at the community pool...helping little ladies that have in fact stated "i've fallen and i can't get up" all the while dodging creepy men in the speedos. it's a grand time.
so i believe this summer is about getting the LaLa in check: mind, body and soul. that's my job.
when not fiddling around williamsburg, i bounce up to richmond to hang out with my twin and assorted church folk.
and this has gotten me very excited about meeting amazing amounts of new people next year.
THAT, my friends, keeps me amped up and ready for Him.
