God is good. All the time.

It has been a crazy past couple of days!
I had been having a not so great week. Tangled was a great movie at women's group, but I dropped my phone getting out of my car...it's been raining forever so of course it was soaked. :(
I thought that the rest of my week would just keep going downhill...
BUT THEN-

Yesterday, I found out that I will be going on the Haiti mission trip. I was supposed to go to Honduras in July, but plans changed and the trip ended up falling through. I was pretty upset because I was excited, and I have been raising money...Well, I got a call from Duke. There was an open spot on the Haiti trip that's happening this month. I talked to Duke and my parents and confirmed details and such. I'll be leaving for Haiti on May 13th, which is in 9 days. :) I'm so excited to go serve Christ in the poorest country of the world. I want to help people, and this is the most excellent opportunity to do so. I'm super nervous what with getting shots, my passport, and things packed, but it will all work out okay. I can only take one carry on bag...it's going to be interesting! My passport came in the mail earlier this week, so we are good to go there. And my amazing mother found out about my shots for me, and they are only going to cost $133 instead of $250! I'm scared of the shots, but it's the price I have to pay. Haiti is in desperate need of our help, and I cannot wait to see how God will use me.
Yesterday, I also got some fantastic news. I got a call from Evansville about an interview at Joshua Academy! I did not think that they were hiring for next year. The lady remembered me at the teacher recruitment fair, so I feel like I could definitely have a shot at the position...the only bad thing is that I kinda hate Evansville. I don't want to live there very badly, and I would really miss church here and  my small groups. God has a plan, so I'm trying not to dwell on things right now. My interview is the 25th, and I may not even get the job. If I did I would have a house down there already because my sister is trying to sell hers. We'll see...I also sent in an application today for North Gibson Princeton area. They have two openings.
If I don't get either of these I can definitely sub in the fall. It does take away some stress to know that I have options.
Jamie Memering also said that I could babysit throughout this summer. They pay well. And I also have the fields. Life is pretty good right now. If I could just have some reassurance about boy situations. :)
All in due time I guess. I need to get back into my routine. I've been neglecting my blog as well as reading and prayer. Hopefully I'll have more time once I'm done with student teaching. Only 1 more day!!!!! :)
I just need to remember:
God is good. All the time. :)

P.S. My phone works again! Dad put it in a bag of rice, and apparently it sucked all the moisture out of it. Happy Day!!!
