Back in the day, I knew that I wanted to do with my life.  I thought I would become a special education teacher.  And then I went to Nicaragua and fell in love with the sweet girls at Casa Esperanza.  I figured that I could take time off after college and work there, and then I could work in a special needs school there.  I applied to colleges and did the whole senior year thing.  I spent the vast majority of the year in the Life Skills class.  Before I left for college, I went to India and worked with girls in another safehouse.  I realized that somehow God would mesh my two passions.  I came to college, did Best Buddies, and was congratulated for knowing what I wanted to do with my life.

With all that being said, I have no idea what I'm doing with my life.  I've given up parts of my life to the Lord.  First it was worth and pride, then boys, then friendships.  Now He's asking for school and future.  I've prayed and prayed, and then I decided to pray some more.  I'm going to try and double major in special ed (I have a lot of it done, and I just love love love those kiddos) and international relations (hello, left field).  I don't know how that's going to work out or anything, but this is me giving up what I think I should do, and doing what I think God's telling me.

"But the LORD’s plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken."  Psalm 33:11
