Well now here I will write the whole "how I got here" entry.
I did not want to go as a SM, really. I wanted to go through school and keep all my friend and stuff. Missing a year means that I will be a year behind all my friend in classes. No more Lauryl for Ochem and Bio. Every M/W/F I wish I was in Biochem with Lauryl, Joey, Becca, and Chris. But I felt like it was what God wanted me to do, so I applied and stuff. I applied to go to Gimbie, and I got really excited about everything. Cassie was going, so I would even know someone! Then Gimbie said no to me, and I was very disappointed. There did not seem to be any other calls (I wanted to go as a medical missionary), so all the excitement I finally found was quickly deflating. The time came to register for classes for the next year, and I registered, but I thought that if I was going somewhere, that I had to unregister by a certain time. That time came, and there was still no information about any other call. It was frustrating because I was trying to do what I thought God wanted me to do, but there seemed to be a pretty big roadblock. So late Wednesday night I prayed that if God really wanted me to go, that there would be information about a call before the end of SM class the next day (we had class Tuesday and Thursday evenings). If there was no news of a call, I was going to stay registered for classes--I basically gave God less than 24 hours to say "I really do want you to go."
So Thursday passed, (without physics, so yay, and with ochem lab, so double yay) and after dinner I went to SM class. I was just sitting there in the back with Zach, and Gayle was handing out papers. When she got to us, she told me that she had information about a call! !!!! and to come see her during break. I was so excited! She showed me an email between Cameron and Dr. Gemechu, I think, in which Dr. Gemechu mentioned that they were starting a clinic! So Gayle was going to email him about Anisha and I, who both wanted to do something medical.
And everything is falling into place.
Speaking about Anisha, what a blessing. I was a little nervous, because she was not in the SM class, and I never met her before the school year ended. But we facebooked and emailed and both cannot wait to meet one another. Yeah, we're super excited to become friends in real life :-). Now she just has to think of a blog name.
