Countdowns have not always rubbed me the right way, as they seem to be an excuse to not fully embrace or appreciate what is "in the moment." I also don't think they're evil, either. They can be a source of joy, and with that in mind, you could say that there are four-forming balls of joy in my life.
Countdown Numero Uno: 14 DAYS 'til my 22nd Birthday. I love celebrating life, and so naturally, birthdays are a big deal to me.
Countdown Numero Dos: 41 DAYS 'til I GRADUATE from Bethel College. Whoa Nelly. I didn't see this one coming so quick - staying up until the wee hours of the morning and sneaking out of the laundry room windows before curfew even struck seems like just yesterday. And let's just say, I'll be ready.
Countdown Numero Tres: 55 DAYS 'til my first ever voyage oversees. IRELAND it is and this girl is just a wee bit thrilled. One week of serving and learning and experiencing a new culture, with a nice side of jet lag.
Countdown Numero Cuatro: 63 DAYS 'til the start of my summer with Youth Works. As of today I sent in my contract acceptance letter as a Utility Site Director. I will find out my location near the end of May, but because of the "utility" nature, there is a great likelihood that I will not be in one spot for the entire duration of the summer, but rather moved around to different sites.

Now, there is a potential countdown numero cinco looming around right now, and without spilling the beans as to what it is, I would just REALLY REALLY like for you to join me in prayer. That in these next 20 days I have before I need to make an official commitment one way, that I would be confident in hearing the voice of the Lord. Obedience to Abba must be my deciding factor in life, and in the midst of pros and cons, logistics, wise counsel and opinions, that I would concern myself with What is He saying?
