The Lord is so good to me! That is probably the easiest way of putting it!
I can now officially say that my date of departure is August 31st, 2011. It feels so refreshing to be able to know exactly when I am leaving! For a while, it was up in the air. Only two days after purchasing my plane tickets for Leuven, I was informed that my Gap Program had been moved back two weeks. Finding this out caused me to worry. It was going to be a minimum of $200 to switch my flights, if I could find flights for the same price. I really hoped that I would be able to go over early, well rather, at the original time.
In order for this to happen, I would need to find a place to stay. My friend and Belgian brother, Alex Beirlant, had suggested that I might stay with his family so that I would not have to switch my flights. This was more of a back up plan than anything. However, I just received an email today from Clare Darnell, one of the people who'll be helping lead my Gap Year in Leuven. Instead of having to change my flight to a later date, a host family has been found for me to live with for the two weeks prior to my Gap Program beginning. Praise the Lord! Not only that, I'll be able to attend a conference called Student Worker Outreach Training in Glasgow, Scotland before my Gap Year even begins! I am so thrilled!
His Provision is better than I could have imagined!
