The Fork In The Road

I just got back from watching the sun rise at Eden Park (which was amazing), and on our way back to campus, we stopped and got Dunkin' Donuts to-go. As I sit in a quiet, and almost empty Econ room waiting for class to start, I pull out my "Manager's Special" donut, which is an amazing-looking donut that has white icing sprinkled with four-leave clovers and a rainbow on top. It really is a work of art. As I finish the first half of my donut, I decide to look behind me for some reason, and to my surprise, see a girl staring rather intently at the delicious donut I am enjoying. Haha, I wanted to laugh out loud, but I thought that might be kind of rude.

It's things like that which make me think this is just another week. But it's not. I've come to the realization that the decisions I make this week are going to set a course for the rest of my life, and maybe eternity (yeah I know, that's intense).

I spent last weekend at an orientation in Charlotte for my summer trip to Namibia. It was an incredible weekend! The road-trip was so fun and the people were amazing. I feel really encouraged to actually go on this trip, now. I went into the weekend as this trip being something I was just going to do. I left feeling called that Namibia is where I am supposed to be, at least for this summer.

So why is this week so important? Well, I called the University of Texas, and they said I should have my letter of Acceptance/Rejection by this upcoming Monday, for sure. It's crazy, because I feel like my desires have been flipped upside down. Before this last weekend, and for the last 6 months of my life, I would have been more concerned about getting rejected from UTexas. What do I do if I get rejected? But now, I'm more concerned about what I do if I get accepted! I'm really not sure it's where I'm supposed to be because I feel like God has been working some other things in my heart. But I don't know, really.

Things will be more clear when I receive a letter from the Lonestar.

Or, they will be incredibly unclear.

I'm hoping for the former. Either way, I'm excited.

And now I leave you with a some fun pictures of our amazing road trip to NC....
