New exciting news!

I have some exciting news that I would like to share with everyone! I have been praying for God’s next step for me ever since leaving Costa Rica. Before I left for Costa Rica in the summer of 2010, I felt like I was only supposed to be in Costa Rica for one year. It was strange, because I didn’t have direction for my next step at all, but I decided to just wait on the Lord and listen for His next step for me. One verse I repeated and trusted in was Isaiah 30:21 “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” As I obeyed without knowing the next step, an incredible door opened for me at my old university, Vanguard. There was an opening for the position of Coordinator of Local/Global Outreach, which truly was my dream job while I was working at Vanguard (responsible for all mission trips for the university). So I followed that open door and applied to the position and I found out this last week that I have the job! I will be moving back to Southern California, starting my drive from Washington state the weekend of August 5th to be at work on Monday, August 8th. I am very excited about this new opportunity, but also a little scared of the unknown ahead! My heart really wants to go back to Costa Rica, and so hopefully at the end of this one year contract position (the job is a 12 month contracted position) I can return to Costa Rica again. Please keep me in your prayers as I start this new journey in southern California in this new position. I have been so blessed by all of you this past year as you prayed and financially gave towards the vision that God gave me. Thank you for your faithfulness to me and to the Lord. If you are in California, I will see you very soon! J
