Estoy pensando en el futuro...

Yesterday I graduated from Centro de Lenguas Intercultura. Thinking about that, I had a strange realization--in less than a year I will will be a college graduate with two Bachellor's degrees in my possession. Sound exciting? Not to me! Maybe slightly exciting, but mostly scary. Here I was thinking about how fast the past 7 weeks passed by, but what happened to the past three years?? I only have ONE semester of classess left, before my full time student-teaching internship. Yikes, that sure came fast.

So what comes after college? Today I'm not really sure, and I'm okay with that. I have a list of things I'd like to eventually accomplish, but the timing and order is not really up to me. And I'm okay with that.
Jeremías 29:11     Porque Yo sé los planes que tengo para ustedes,’ declara el SEÑOR ‘planes de bienestar y no de calamidad, para darles un futuro y una esperanza.
(Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.)

I do know that tomorrow I have to say goodbye to my familía tica who has taken such good care of me during the past 7 weeks.  That won't be easy.  But on a brighter note, I get to say hello to my parents who will be arriving in Costa Rica, along with several others from our church.  Tomorrow we will head to Bajo Tejares, a small barrio (neighborhood) located right outside of San Ramón.  Here we will be working with Faithful Servants Missions.  I don't know what the Lord will have in store for us, but I am very excited to find out!
