Leaving Minnesota...and coming home!

I can't believe that this year has gone so fast. I'm going to be in the beautiful rolling suburbs of Northern Illinois in no time now!
God has truly been doing some amazing things in my life during this year. There has been so much I've learned, that I not only have in my head and able to live out in my life.
I'm going to make my last phone call next week, I've been a caller for the admissions department all year and God has been wrecking me through that. There have been so many people who I've gotten close to over these twelve months, only over the phone! I've laughed for hours combined with these people, not to mention cried with them!
Obviously, the hard part about leaving here will be saying goodbye to the stellar friends I made here. I won't doubt it if I stay in touch with several of these people for years to come. I'm probably going to get a lot of wedding invitations coming up next year (when I'm in France of course, and can't make it!)

For these four months I'm going to be at home I'm really praying that God will stretch me and make me more in love with him and more dependent on him. That's a very dangerous prayer to pray-but one I know I'll need to have at least slightly under my belt for my time in France.

Before I punch out here's one random French fact of the day: There are approx. 36,000 communities in France, about 34,500 of those communities don't have any resident evangelical witness, that's 94%!

Please continue your prayers for the Nation of France and it's people--and that God would continue his work in me as well!
