New Place in Life

As you all [Angela] know, I previously went to Malone University where I studied Youth Ministry and Music. I loved [and still love] Malone with all my heart, but through a long course of events I feel God leading me elsewhere. God has shown me that the power-driven, money-sucking, life taking evil aka college, wasn't right for me. [I don't actually feel that way about college. My fellow college drop out Kyle just describes it that way] I wasn't doing very well in my academics and I felt that I was only their because society tells us that every normal, good youth that wants to be a contributer to this country, and be successful, must graduate high-school and then college. For me I know that this is not the case. It was a very hard decisions leaving Malone because my love for that school and the community that it facilitates is so great, but I know that God has a new and different plan for me.
Right now this year is dedicated to saving up for the next step that will happen in 2011. I am living in a loft, in a house, a street away from campus with my sister. I am looking for a job, and for ministries and ways that I can help Canton. Next year I will be going on vacation with my family to New Zealand. I will stay in New Zealand for the month of January, and then in February I will be starting a Worship focused Discipleship Training School with YWAM in Tauranga, New Zealand. I am very excited for that great opportunity, and I hope I can use this year to grow in God and love as much as a I can. I'm going to miss being a part of Malone, but I want to stay connected as much as I can. And of course I want to see my friends as much as possible, I love them to death.
I haven't written in this for a long time, and I might not stay consistent, but I want to have something to update whoever wants to know about whats going on. I especially want to use this when I am in New Zealand next year. I am excited for what God has for me in this New place in my life.
