June Update!

Hello everyone again!! ( John, I am stealing your format. Thanks, bud!)
Good things/New Things
As you all know, I have been applying to jobs like crazy! I cannot officially announce anything yet, but let’s just say it is looking very good. Thanks for all the prayers. I actually have a school actively pursuing me right now, so we will see. Not sure if it is where I want to be.

(Amanda,Anna and I)

I talked to my best friend Anna the other day on the phone, thinking that she was going to tell me not to move certain places. Of course, I did not give her enough credit. She told me exactly what I needed to hear. God was really speaking through. “Laura, you like going and going; you just have not had the option not to.” so true! One of the many reasons I love this girl!
I have yet to blog about the Mexico trip. I am still amazed by all the opportunities I have had this year. I went to Mexico to study immigration issues. I thought my opinion was pretty solid about the subject. This trip totally made me think about things again. Some sort of reform needs to happen. I can’t tell you what kind. It is something I am praying about.   I would love to talk about it more.

On a heavier note:
Part of my heart is now in North Carolina! My housemate Tara is needing to stay home to get some much needed medical treatment. It is not same without her. I miss my ally! She was the only other girl in the house. It was very hard to lose her, but I know this is what she needs right now.  She has a great listening ear and isn't afraid to give me some tough love. I know for a fact I could not have made it through this year without her. She has taught me so much! I don’t think I will ever be able to express my appreciation to her. Thank you for your friendship. Ok, well, I am going to stop writing, so I don’t start crying. The boys have been so amazing to talk to.  So thank you for being a great support system!
God Bless
