it's a new day

i had coffee today with a girl from the ministry and service office on campus and we ended up talking about intentional community because it's something we both have a passion for. they tried to establish an intentional community in the dorms for this next year but it didn't take off which was really disappointing for me as an applicant and for the girl i was talking to as the coordinator. anyway, she told me that they are looking for more student input for next year as they try to make it happen again and she asked me if i'd like to partner with the office in making it happen. i don't really know exactly what my role would be yet cause it's not an official position, but i'd be working with them to plan what the community does (it's a social justice community so we would be doing service projects in the community) and how it works and helping to get people interested and signed up. i don't really know what i want to do after college, but i do know that i have a real passion for community and have always thought of community development as an option after school and this is an opportunity to do that and figure out what community development really looks like!
the plans of God always take me by surprise- and i may not end up doing this, or loving community development, but i know that God orchestrated this and that He is going before me planning my way. we are in good hands.
