And 7 months later....

So, to be perfectly honest with ya'll... I lost my username and password for this so I have not updated in a loooong time!!!

Summer has officially begun for me (3 weeks ago)... and I am BORED. I miss Waco, I miss Texas, I miss Baylor, I miss my girls, I miss class, I miss the squirrels, I miss my church, I miss my lifegroup, I even sometimes miss Penland.... okay thats too far... But I just really miss being down there!

So an update on what has been happening in the life of Felicia Sasser for the past 7 months or so....

First of all, starting second semester I had made a decision not to return to Baylor for the fall of '07... but to my dismay, the Lord has other plans in store for me. Funny how you try and tell God what you want to do with your life and he basically laughs in your face and tells you NO. Fantastic. I was at such a stand still in my life and I had just really felt like the best decision would be to move home closer to my family until I could see just exactly what I was supposed to do with my life. I had been ignoring every bit of what the Lord had told me to do... bad, bad idea. So this is when I decided to practically shut out everything else in my life and listen to God... a time for me to finally shut up and hear what he wanted to me hear. The Lord led me to scripture after scripture... and then put some really amazing people in my life to help me see the plans that He had made for me... and it was exactly where I already was.... He just told me to stay put. SOOOO.... Get excited because I will be back in August and absolutely cannot wait to see just how God wants to use me.
I am officially an International Studies major... scary!! When I tell people this they give me a funny look and say why????? It is becoming easier and easier for me to share what I am going to do... the look on their face when I say missionary kind of makes them laugh... as if the next question is to be, "Okay, but really what do you want to do with your life?"... The Lord has been testing me in many ways with giving up the dreams that I have more life and trusting the dreams that he has for my life. Just the other day I was driving with my family through an insanely nice neighborhood and we were just looking at how beautiful the homes were.. and I just smiled and was okay knowing that I will never have something like that... I will be perfectly content with living in a hut somewhere in Africa or India. Or perhaps the letter I received the other day awarding me a full ride scholarship to any Illinois school of my choice... God wants me to trust Him financially, seeing as for the rest of my life it's all gonna be Him!! As long as I am fulfilling my purpose I will always be rich.
So since the plan has been revealed (over and over, I am just now finally choosing to accept it)... it's time to dive in. Ugh, but how?!?! I want to be used this summer here at home, but I don't know where or how... As of now, I am working at Red Lobster. Hmm.. I suppose the Lord can use me there?? This is what I will be praying for...
As for now... I will continue to pursue my passion, even if I hear laughter in the background...

I will write more later....

always in Him,
Felicia
