Updates

Hi everyone! It's time for a bloggy update. Lots has happened here lately, as is usually the case. I spent this past weekend at Reformed Theological Seminary, going through the final stage of their application process. I got to take a tour of the campus and hear all about their Masters of Counseling program, as well as have 2 group interviews and 2 individual interviews. The weekend concluded with all of us taking a psychological personality test. It was very intensive but really cool as well. I walked away being more sure than ever that I definitely want to go into counseling. I should find out if I am accepted in about 2 weeks. They only have 20 spots to fill and just because they have that many to fill doesn't mean all spots will be offered. They work really hard to put the right group of people together and want to choose people they feel are ready for the program. So we'll see! I will definitely let you all know when I do find out. I have also applied at another school that offers classes at night, and once I hear from the seminary, I will have to make some decisions. The financial side of things is obviously a huge piece of this - not only the cost of school but also how to go to school and still be able to pay bills. It will be interesting to see how things play out.

When I was in Massachusetts for Michael's wedding, I managed to sneak in a quick visit to the rocks and ocean where I spent so much time when I lived there. It truly is so beautiful there, and I can't help but see God in the magnificence of His creation. The rest of my post shall have some of the favorite pictures I took while there. :)

It was really cool to be back by my ocean for a little while and just remember all the ways that God took care of my heart while I was there. One of the things I realized during my time in MA is that beauty can be found in every season of life. Even when it's winter and everything is dark and stark, beauty still resides.

There is a lot happening in life right now that is unknown. It helps to remember the faithfulness of God and how He has cared for me in so many different ways these last years. Even though I am anxious at times about the future, I am excited because I know that Jesus has plans for me that I can't even begin to imagine.


I will keep you posted in the coming days as life continues to unfold! And I would appreciate your prayers along the way. :)
