Are we dancers...?

Hey, I was inspired by Kelsey, and because I too have checked back on this blog and been disappointed to find nothing new, I decided to toss up an update.

As you may have already read, I'm getting ready to pack my bags and head to "the mothership", Briercrest that is.  I've taken a job with the dance team Refined Undignified and starting in July, I'll be the booking agent/road manager for the team.  I'm crazy excited to get to work with RU and can't wait to see what God will all do through that ministry!  I do have some mixed feeling as I'll be leaving my hometown for all of my 24 years of life, as well as the camp which I've worked at for 10 summers and 5 years full time, but even with that, I'm just pumped and trusting God as I feel super at peace about the move.

Other than that, I don't know what else I have to say.  It's always sweet to hear from all of you, and I hope you're doing well.

Graduation!!

Hey K5! I've been sad the past few times checking the blog because no one had posted! So I decided to give a little update in hopes that you will too! Let's see, I still live in Edmonton, but I now live with 5 other Christian girls by the university. They are such an amazing blessing to have and I'm really grateful for them. They are super supportive and great examples of Godly women! I am in my last practicum for elementary education right now with just 2 weeks to go until I graduate! I'm realizing what a transition it will be after having been a student for 6 years, but I'm excited to see where God will take me. I must admit though, it's been a struggle to trust at times when everything I'm familiar with is changing and I have had no idea where I was going to work or how I was going to pay rent. Teaching jobs are sparse, so that was part of my worry, but I recently got offered a library assistant job with the edmonton public library! I am super excited about it because it uses my degree, I'll get to work with kids and the community, and it's a permanent position so I won't have to worry about finding a teaching job for the fall! I had trouble trusting God about my summer and finding a job, but He was faithful as usual and provided something :) Well, I think that's about it! oo and I'm taking guitar lessons! finally, after way too long! maybe we can jam next time I see you :) Until next time, love you all! ~Kelsey
