Well... no pictures this post... but LOTS of exciting changes. Since getting engaged to Aaron in May, I knew that the Lord was calling me into full time ministry with Campus Crusade, well eventually. In the interim, I planned to leave my job in Fargo and join Luther Westside Volkswagen in St. Louis Park. That proved to be a rough stretch, testing my patience and grace. 5.5 months later I worked my last day there. I have a couple weeks to clean, play house, wrap presents and celebrate Christmas with a few families before we leave January 1st, 2010 for New Staff training in Daytona Beach, Florida. Adventure: here I come!

In the coming weeks, my youngest sister graduates from college. We'll travel to Mankato for the ceremony tomorrow, enjoy time with my other sister and her family visiting from Moorhead. We have dinner, cookie-decorating festas and other activities planned with friends too. I'm getting my hair colored and chopped, I cannot wait! We'll of course have Christmas in Iowa, time in Rochester, a couple more Christmas' and then TCX (the winter Cru conference for 1500 students) all before leaving on the 1st... busy, busy:)

God is good, friends. God is soooo good!

Did you know that I'm moving?

Well, I listed my house for sale on my 26th birthday and 6 days later, it sold! Praise God. I close on Monday, May 18 (yes, just a few short days away) and plan to finish June at the dealership. From there... only the Lord knows for now. I've sold my house, am leaving my job, my friends, some family, my ministry and church and heading back to the Cities. My great Father in Heaven has some exciting plans ahead of me, I know that full well. Details, though, remain just out of reach... stay tuned:)

So... the packing and moving and goodbyes begin. In case you didn't know this, my small-group of girls at Triumph are seniors in high school this year. Its very fitting that we'd all finish this chapter in our lives together (I've been with some of them for 3 years now, others only 2) I've been greatly blessed by the countless friendships I've developed because of being involved at Triumph. The Truimph community has become a great source of blessing and encouragement over the last 7.5 years.

This week started with the end in mind as Amy and I joined some of my fabulous senior girls for a black & white dinner out on the town...

the girls are hilarious with each other. its a joy to sit back and watch them enjoy each other's friendship, laughter and love for the Lord.
I'm sure they'll look back over the last four+ years together in small-group, knowing the Lord brought some dear, dear friends across their path while teaching them something about Himself
It was our last Impakt (youth group) on Wednesday of this week... and again fitting b/c the youth room as it stands today will soon be a memory. They start demolition and construction this summer, welcoming a brand new room in the fall.
