This has been a week, a semester really, of ups and downs and everything in between. On Friday, I heard news about a family friend's son who passed away unexpectedly and tragically. I also heard news on Friday that I was accepted into the study away program I wanted to attend (I had already made a deposit for another trip). After a few days of struggling and talking and yes, crying, the study away office approved my switch to the other trip (In high school, I had a very similar situation with picking colleges; I don't know what God wants to teach me in this, but apparently I haven't learned the lesson yet! All I know is that I am holding tightly to Luke 18:1-8 and searching my heart to make sure my conscious is clean). I submit my ICP today, meaning I'll know in two weeks whether my hard work to create a cultural anthropology major will be approved! Even if it isn't, the process has taught me I lot. I don't know what I'll major in if it isn't approved, but hey, I'll cross that bridge if I come to it. I'm still waiting on news for this summer, mostly from the Hungarian side of it, but I should know more on Monday or Tuesday. I'm trying to figure out living situations for next spring.
But in all of this, I'm just praising God. Yes, it is overwhleming, and I have definitely broken down a few times because of stress (me trying to rely on myself again and not rest in God's plan), but in everything, I just have to come back to the Lord. He is so powerful and reliable and praiseworthy even when the unexpected happens.
And to make myself smile even more, here is a picture of the city I will be living in next fall (ahhh!!!!):
BRUSSELS, BELGIUM!!!!!!!!!!!
