Five years ago I graduated from KCU magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in youth and family ministries.
Never would I have ever imagined what God had up his sleeve in the five years since I graduated. I have been to Italy twice, back to visit my friends in England twice, going to Haiti in a few days, and have had SEVERAL jobs. Every job has been a blessing and a chance to learn more about myself.
The four jobs I have right now are a huge blessing... all of them deal with children... and three are in ministry, although I consider my fourth job, subbing, as a ministry.
Here's to many more years of learning more about myself, my God, and the people around me. I look forward to it all.
**Side note: I have only $2900 left of my student loan. For those of you who need advice on how to do that in five years since you're graduating today (or this month), pay off as much as you can. Don't give in to the lie that they will "lower your monthly payment"... they just want more of your money through interest. That also means saying NO to a lot of things that you want right away. I am looking forward to being debt free to give away more money to people who need it, but I am also looking forward to buying a REALLY good camera and possibly taking classes for it.
*** Also to clarify about my comment on the last post on budgeting $14/week for food... My friend Katie did that during Lent. Apparently the average person in poverty survives on just $14/week. I'm eatting a LOT of the same foods... spaghetti without meat and PBJ.... Drinking lots of water...
The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. ~Proverbs 11.25 NLT
Thanks to those who have been praying for me, gave to me financially, or helped out on our project website.
