So here I sit with an awesome family (the Roscoes) really loving my life at this moment. I guess how I ended up here would be a good way to start this blog.
About 6 months ago (Sept. 5, 2010) to be exact I knew my life was falling apart.Previous to this day I was a 19 year old youth leader, going to school(to be a teacher), teaching color guard(my dream job), and dating the worship leader of our youth band( who was seemingly perfect for me). What can I say life was good...or so I thought. See the thing with God is that stepping outside of his will is dangerous, and he will bring you back to reality way faster than you could every imagine. Anyway back to Sept. 5th. It was a Sunday so of course I woke up went to church and even though my boyfriend was visiting another church I knew I was where God had placed me. After an awkward weekend I received a text that said, "No offense, but I'm just not sure about us." Funny right? None taken. This is a guy who a week earlier wanted to marry me, but in my heart of hearts I felt it coming all along. So after driving praying and lots of tears we broke up. This was just the start of the crumbling stage as I like to call it. So for two weeks I went to awkward Wed. night services knowing somehow it had to get better. On the 3rd Wed. after the break up my youth pastors and Spiritual Parents decided to resign their position because of the non unity in the church. What was I going to do? This youth group was my life...I cried. We all cried. As if that wasn't enough on my way home from church I received a text from one of my students saying, "I'm going to miss you." So this apparently meant I was fired. My Boyfriend, My youth group, and my job all gone in less than a month.
The following Saturday I decided to come to Fort Mill with my old youth pastors to help a woman of our church move. She was starting a missionary internship that she had told me about many times, but I ruled out because of the cost. The weekend was awesome I met some amazing people and when it was time to go back to Anderson I didn't want to leave. Before we left an offer arose to let me do the internship on scholarship. They would help me find a place to stay even a job. So after lots of thought and prayer, I decided to miss this opportunity would be stupid. God provided me with a place to live and an awesome roommate who I lived with for 5 months, a Job, and I had an awesome church family. Life was Good. Until my hours got cut at work and I started missing home( which was 2 hours away). I was ready to pack up and leave. But I'm suppose to be here. So this family offered me a room in there house and made lots of accommodations so I could live here. I am blessed. But I know the promise. I must stay in his will!
