To Scotland I Go Again

The leaders at my church have officially decided that it would be better for me to wait a year or so to do an internship with 20 Schemes and go on a short term trip again on July 18-26.
On the one hand, I feel like the child that says, "But so-and-so's Parents let them do such-and-such!" but I'm also thankful that I have an opportunity to go back at all this year, and it's extremely good for me to learn submission! :) God know what's going on and he has ordained the way everything is unfolding in my life!

My goal this year is to build relationships with people working with 20Schemes and learn as much as I can so that I'm ready to intern next Spring or Summer.

Please pray for me firstly that I will raise the money I need to raise. Secondly, please pray for me that God will continue to guide me and show me what he wants for my life, and that I would listen. Thirdly, please pray for the people that are guiding me and giving me advice throughout this whole process.
This is a new experience not only for me, but for my church in general. No one's been sent out before, so the church leaders, as well as myself need a lot of wisdom!

That's all for now. I'll try my best to post updates as much as possible!

General Life Update :)

Once again, it's been a while since I wrote any updates, but here I am.

It's been 7 months since my trip to the UK and specifically the 20Schemes vision trip. Going into the trip I was focused on the long term, thinking about if I would want to/should do an internship. I thought about it long and hard, prayed (sporadically, to be honest. just keepin' it real.) and talked to many different people from all different walks in life from my church family to my co-workers to my peers. Everyone was extremely supportive and I still felt driven (and this is the only thing I've had a real drive for!) to apply for the internship. At this point, I went to my pastor and told him I was interested in a missions internship, and he told me to find out was was involved. Apparently this meant doing research about what I'd be doing with the internship rather than actually applying, but I was a little confused and maybe a little over excited. So I applied and was accepted by 20Schemes to intern this summer. However, I've had to slow down the process and do some research before I continue.
Right now I'm learning as much as I can from different people about everything that would be involved in an internship with 20Schemes, and learning how I can be more involved in different ministries at church and what my strengths are.
In less than 2 weeks I'm going to be doing a presentation to the sunday school kids for a missions rally about the kids of 20Schemes. I'm both excited and nervous thinking about this! I'm excited that I have the opportunity to spread the word about 20Schemes, and I'm nervous, because I really want to do a great job so that the kids repeat what they learn to their parents and I'm also going to present a gospel message. But where I'm weak, God is strong! That's my comfort!
So that's mainly what's going on in my life right now. Otherwise, like I tell everyone else who asks, I'm working at the library, and I love it there! I've got a good life pretty much free of negative drama. :)
