Tanzania

Life, my friends, is a blessing. Today is a day that started out so routine. A test in my first (and only) class, homework for tomorrow, checking my email... But checking my email today was possibly the best part of my day. Well, maybe not the best part, but by far the most exciting and the reason God is so awesome. Today, I found out that I was accepted into my study abroad trip to Tanzania, Africa next January. I am ecstatic. Next January I get to spend the entire month researching and serving the people of Tanzania! Now, this trip to Africa isn't free, it is actually quite expensive... somehow... I have to pay for this amazing opportunity. $500 by FRIDAY. Wow, this is all happening so quickly! I have so much to do to get ready for this learning adventure!
God may provide, but not if I don't work at it as well. It's time to start writing letters, applying for scholarship after scholarship, saving my spare change, getting an epic job this summer, praying harder than ever before, and trusting that God gave me this opportunity for a reason and he will provide.
I am ready to tackle this mission head on. I can't wait to see what I learn from this experience. Just getting the money to go to Tanzania will be an adventure in and of itself. God. Is. Awesome.
