Hello Spokane

I remember opening the acceptance letter like it was just yesterday. "We are so sorry to inform you that you were not accepted to the Chicago campus, however you have been accepted for Distance Learning as well as accepted to Moody-Spokane". TEARS. Like what. I opened the letter and tears fell. This was not my plan by any means, however this was His plan. My plan was to attend the Moody in Chicago, but God had other plans for me... and I am thankful.

I prayed for months and months that if God opened the door to Moody, that I would go. However, I had no idea that I would be in Spokane, Washington... out of all the places in the world. Spokane!? Are you serious Lord? Washington is SO far away from home. I honestly was upset when I opened the letter.  However, this is what He wanted... and I knew I needed to obey and just GO.

So, here I am now.  I am all settled in at my house. I'm cooking meals for like the first time in my life. I'm adjusting to a new city and new people.  It's all new. And honestly, I like it! It's exciting. But, I've never been away from home... let alone 27 hours away. I know He has big plans for me though. Why would He call me this far away for nothing?

I am seriously so excited to see how everything this next year unfolds. He is writing this story, and I just want to obey Him above all. If you would like to pray for me during this transition,  I would appreciate it! If so, pray for peace. Pray that I would keep continuing to feel His peace during this transition. Pray that I would make strong relationships with my peers here, and faculty. Pray that I would get plugged in at a church. Pray that I would find a job... and soon. That's about it for now!

If you would like to write me though...you totally should. I would love that and I promise I will return the favor.  The address is:
2116 North Dakota Street
Spokane, Washington
99207

Much love,
Carly Ann
