Does this "Make Sense?"

Wow I haven't posted since December...

I'm not sure if anyone out there is still logging into the post, but if you are, I wanted to give you all a quick update.

I'm getting married one week from tomorrow..whoa! So much of my time has been spent planning the wedding. It's hard to believe the Big Day is almost here and even harder to comprehend that I left for Ethiopia almost 1 year ago! Time really does fly by and I find myself reflecting on my time in Ethiopia often. Perhaps it's because it is fast approaching the one year mark, or perhaps it is because I have found out that some of my team members that I went with are going back to Africa this summer. Who knows, but either way, I can't wait to go back and blog all over again. :)

Some more news is that I will be moving to South Carolina in August. Michigan-->Arizona-->South Carolina; I'm like a regular ol' gypsy:) (I secrelty wish I was). With this big move leaves me the option to leave my current job or to stay...Let's face it, it's not like I've been too keen in my current work for quite some time and this is a great excuse to move. However, I am very apprehensive with the economy and it makes sense to stay because it means I have a job. However, even writing that statement "makes sense" is difficult to read.

Why must I always try to "make sense" of everything? I believe I spend more time trying to "make sense" rather than follow my instinct or heart because in reality it doesn't "make sense".

When do I stop trying to handle everything and hand it over to God? The few things that I have truly come to realize since I've been back from Ethiopia are as follows: How much I...
1) dislike my job
2) L-O-V-E blogging
3) Finding my true passions in life - which are DETAILS. I got a new camera over Christmas and I feel that I can actually capture what I see...which lead me to search blogs and to find inspiration out there. There is soooooo much out there that I have seen in the past few months that I can't help but me inspired to do more with my life.
I can't make it into a coherent sentence, but I know I can make a simple (and in humility) request to pray for me that I find what I am to be doing with my life...that the Lord will guide me toward His will, because there I will find my true passion and contentment.

Thank you and I hope all are well...

Much love,
Jen
