time

"your journey has molded you for your greater good..and it was exactly what it needed to be..don't think that you've lost time..it took each and every situation you have encountered to bring you to the now..and the now is right on time" asha tyson

after my birthday has now come and gone i've gotten to pondering about where i was a year ago..as some of you know i had originally applied for a year of service abroad with another organization..after completing countless interviews and essays it was this time last year when i was anxiously waiting..waiting to see where the cards would fall..

obviously i didn't get the response i had been hoping for..even going as far as nearly counting on..i was devasted and at a complete loss with what to do..i had absolutely no plan or direction..in my opinion i had failed miserably..



but i've always thought god does his best work at times like these..when hope seems to have left us...because at church the sunday after my disappointing news i was told about the YAV program..there i found a glimmer of hope..a shed of light..once i got home i dove into research about the program and layed out before me was more than i could have ever asked for..

and that has honestly made all the difference..so there you have it...god really knew what he was doing after all..

peace & love

  1. The program that didn't accept you is a jerk! But I am so happy they are jerks, because you are a superstar YAV! Imagine a year without Valery's baby walrus stories or cuddles with Thomas... God is definitely guiding you to people and places that welcome you!
