soon, we will be moving here.
you may ask? welllllllllll
i was accepted into the university of minnesota's masters in public health nutrition (along with the Coordinated Masters program in dietetics) for the fall of 2011!!! orientation starts august 31st, and classes begin september 6th.
i have wanted to do this for SO long... and God has truly opened every door along the way for me. from the time charlie and i decided that i needed to pursue this, i had one month to pull everything together, from finding programs i was qualified for, to taking (and passing) the GRE, to finding ridiculously specific online courses for me to take this spring, references, transcripts, one month to do EVERYTHING. and, at times, i honestly felt like i was doing it for nothing... i had no confidence that i would get in. but i promised God that as He opened doors, i would walk through them.
this program is a really organic fit for me. when i was at the garbage dump community in Nicaragua, the cry of my heart was exactly what this program is doing and teaching. i am SO thankful for supportive family and an AMAZING husband who is willing to leave the only thing he's ever known to go on this adventure with me.
Thank you, God, for giving us the desires of our heart.
STEPH!!! I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU! Though I am worried that you may freeze. But I know that God will provide warmth for you there as He has for everything else! Seriously, I know how bad you've wanted this, and I'm thrilled for you! Thanks for sharing
