With the craziness of my senior project and how all of that is finally over, I realized something today. "You're leaving for Spain soon, Whit!" I have been getting more emails from Mission Nannys (That's the way they spell it!) about specifics and prayer letters/cards. I have been emailing them back and forth and figuring out more logistics about things.

I have been continuing to save for Spain, but now instead of my future jar, my savings are safely in Chase. In the words of Paige, "So if a burglar ever breaks in, he can't steal the future jar!" I mean he could, but there's only a couple pennies in it currently.

As I think about the future and graduation, I can't believe that I am going to be headed out to Spain in a few short months. I was reading some Mission Nanny newsletters and in the February letter my name was listed that I'm going to Spain. It's so crazy to me. This is really happening. Whitney, in Spain? I can't believe it.

God is good. God is SO good. 

I think back to the end of summer and when my questioning of "should I really get my credential" started. Back then I was like, "well, what else am I going to do with my life?" And I went back and forth with a decision for a long time. Then in the middle of fall quarter, I did it. I just said, "You don't want your credential and you don't need to get it." 

But then now what? 

I trusted God. I had to. I had no other choice in the matter. People kept asking and I kept saying, "I don't know, but God sure does!" Half the time of course, I worried and I forgot about this truth. 

Then one day my Mom stumbled upon  Mission Nannys.

You could say the rest is history? You know, I had to put my faith in God in order to apply and know that He would do what ever he would want with it. Who would have thought. Spain. God wants me in Spain. 

I'm not one to "go off the path." Heck, I think I have skipped class ONCE this school year and it was to study for another class! But you know, sometimes God does the coolest of things when we say, "Okay God, I'm just going to let go." 

Am I terrified? Oh yes, but am I excited? Even more. 

Because the coolest thing? God's got my back. And He will never let me fall. As I finish up this quarter and prepare for ONE more before graduation, I can't help but smile when I think about the fact that I will have no math problems, papers, or presentations come September. No, I'll have giggles, hand holding, paint, and a whole lot of love with three little bundles of joy. It's going to be good. Real good. 

Whit :)
