I have been accepted into the study abroad program! It will be during the first summer session, which will last from June 3 – July 4, 2010.
It's hard for me to be excited right now because with my acceptance letter, I got a note saying that they need 500 dollars by December 1st. There wasn't really much notice, and I don't have the money right now. I'm determined to go though, so I'm getting an extention on my deadline, I'm having a garage sale, clearing out my savings account, and getting an advance on my next paycheck. God has a wonderful way of working things like this out. I've just got to stay faithful. I was tempted to skip my tithe this paycheck and play catch up on the next, but after talking with my mom, we decided that I need not upset God since He's the one opening all these doors. So, I tithed and I gave to missions. And now I'm watching Him work. I have had 3 different families ask me to take portraits for them, and they are all willing to pay me. I think that is a wonderful way to make some extra money. I'm amazed. and I'm in love with my Creator and Caretaker.
More details will come after I get this payment out of the way.
