Hello! :) I decided to start up this blog for several reasons.
- to keep my friends and family back home up to date on things and how I'm doing.
- because I do love to write and miss my English classes in high school. ;)
- but mainly I just want this for me as well, kind of like a journal. I'm sure while I'm starting out a new career, life, and joining a new church I will be growing not only emotionally, but also spiritually and hopefully drawing closer to God to help me through all these changes.
I am beyond excited for this new adventure, I just can't believe my dream come true of working for Guiding Eyes for the Blind permanently is actually coming true! I mean how many 21 year olds can say that they are going to be doing what they have dreamed of doing since they were 14?! I am also so, SO very thankful that God has provided this opportunity for me.
In just a little over a week and a half I will be packing up and moving out of the small, rural, town I've called my home since I was a year old. I will miss life in a town where you drive past apple orchards practically on every road you drive down, run into people that I know everywhere I go, and have all my family and friends so close by. But I look forward to moving to a new town where I can meet even more people, enjoy all the wonderful hiking paths they have, and have the benefit of a short 1.5 hour train ride right into New York City! I will be putting so much trust in God and know that He will help me through everything life will through at me. These verses are some of my favorites and some that I was reading in my Bible reading today. :)
Proverbs 3:5 & 6
Trust in the Lord with all you heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Until next time,
Beth
