Opportunities

Wow, this day is so crazy. I started the day in prayer with my discipleship partner, and clearly that is how I will have to go into every day! After we prayed, I went to Starbucks to study up and finish my pre-arrival activities. Pretty soon after sitting down, a complete stranger asked to join me. I've recently realized I'm a little more extroverted than I thought, so I said, sure, have a seat. I was reading on my laptop, and he asked me about the Invisible Children stickers on my laptop. So I told him about the organization and how I would be working with them this semester. He was excited to know that my generation is worried about these things and willing to work to change them. Then, a contact I had made in my hometown of Roswell posted on my Facebook to tell me someone from IC has already called him and that they are working on a screening in Roswell. There has never been one there, and before I was going to work for IC, no one there had heard of it. So that was really exciting. And then, on top of that, a girl that I've had several classes with asked me for more information on what IC is. She's planning to attend the NMSU screening.

I'm so grateful for the opportunity to do this. I leave in a couple of days, and I was starting to be stressed out again. But I think that I am ready for this.

God is incredible.
