New journey starts.....now!

   Hello all of you lovely people! I hope all of you are doing well. Many of you have asked if I would blog again...so, it's that time again.....new blog update!!!
    It has been awhile since I was last on here to update you on my life. The last I told all you was that I was planning on leaving in January to join the University of the Nations. I was planning to work towards my bachelors degree in music. Well, the plan has not changed, but the timing has somewhat. As many of you may know, I did not leave in January. The schooling I was needing to do, during the January semester, was not offered where I was planning on going (I was planning on going to Dallas, Texas). I was really disappointed at first. I didn't understand why it wasn't working out the way I wanted it to. Through lots of prayer, I realized God wasn't done using me in my season in Lafayette, La. I once again had to learn what the word "patience" meant. After learning to be content in the season of life God had me in, He was able to use me to minister to young teenage girls. Being home wasn't like a burden once I embraced where God had me; it became a joy.
    When I started looking into other school courses I would need to take towards my degree, one stuck out to me so clearly. It was called the School of Worship (SOW). It was located in Denver, Colorado. I made sure to pray about it before really making any final decisions. When I talked to my advisor, she thought that this school would be a great school for me to do. It teaches on how to have a closer relationship and better understanding of God through worship. I would also be able to write and record my own songs. I decided to apply for it. Well, I was accepted into the school! The school would start April 2nd and end June 22nd.
     That leads me to now. I drove up on March 29th to Denver, Colorado in the "skeet-mobile". I arrived in Denver on the 30th. Colorado is absolutely beautiful! It's amazing how God designed each and every mountain so perfectly for us, His people, to enjoy. Right now, Colorado does not have a lot of snow. Only in the high part of the mountains is there snow. The first day of arriving in Colorado, I changed my clothes three times. I went from wearing a summer dress, to shorts and a t-shirt, to jeans and sweater. This cajun girl is not used to this weather! Tomorrow, I will arrive for the start of my 3 month journey. I don't exactly know what it will look like and I don't want to assume what it will look like. I want God to direct each and every footstep I take. My future is completely open. I may stay here and still do schooling in Denver after, or I may take a short break, or I may go home, or I may work with the new Crossroads Connection branch (that happens to be starting in Denver). My future is Gods. I want Him to shape and form my future just like He has shaped and formed the beautiful mountains that I can call my new home.  If He made the mountains look that gorgeous, I definitely want to Him to take control of my future and make that beautiful. He won't let me down!
   I plan on keeping you updated on what is happening in the "mile high" city while I am here! Peace, love, and happiness my friends!
