Got it!

I haven't posted in a while because I haven't been quite sure about what was happening with my position! YFC had applied for a government grant which would pay for a portion of my wage and we've been patiently waiting to hear if we received the grant or not. Originally I was supposed to have started work on May 5th, then it was pushed back to May 8th; if I started work before the decision was made on the grant I would then be disqualified from the grant all together. That's government for ya! :)

Well word came in late last night that we have received the grant! So this is good news, I now only have to raise a portion of my summer salary in comparison to 100% of it. The catch is they (government) don't want me to start until May 20th. So I will have had a complete month off of school by the time I get working. That, itself, is not such a bad thing actually.

This past year of school and starting a job at Willowlake Baptist Church certainly did prove stressful and left me somewhat "burnt-out." So though it may have been difficult waiting to hear final word on the grant, and I certainly would like to start getting money in my pocket, I can see God's hand at work, providing me both with the grant, and time to refresh my body and mind and re-focus on Him.

Can't wait to get to work and see how the Lord provides for me and the young people I'll be working with this summer!
