After resolving to take a summer class after no potential jobs or internships in sight a last minute application to AmeriCorps (a program sort of like the PeaceCorps except for in the United States and offers shorter term employments with local community organizations) proved to be fruitful. I was offered a position with the Gardens of the Fox Cities in Appleton, WI (similar to Botanical Gardens) through AmeriCorps. This gave me the chance to drop my dreaded statistics course and instead I will get my hands dirty and face sweaty out in the sun! It will be a great opportunity to grow in so many ways including teaching (little kids… go figure), growing better at the names of flora and fauna, and learning about prairie restoration. Continually I am amazed at how great my Father is and how He cares deeply for those whom are called sons and daughters. Trusting always He is good and in control will remain a lifelong lesson… as my 23rd year has approached I am reminded that I shall not fear because ‘Perfect Love casts out Fear’…. 1 John 4:18 …. but, more on that later….
“The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold” Psalm 18:2
