Book idea and CRAZY confirmation

First thing's first-I have this INSANE idea for a book. We had a speaker come to one of my classes the other day and she was part in a collective book that featured stories from breast cancer survivors. I'm thinking that a collected book of essays, observations, and such from either college students living for Jesus or the siblings of adoptees would be really, really cool. I've seen books about college, but none about truly living for Jesus, and I actually think it'd be an awesome thing for people to read, especially other college students.
And I'm yet to see a non-illustrated book about being an older sibling to an adopted child. We could SO swing that...

CRAZY confirmation-I've had a particular thing on my heart, that being to try for an internship in a specific city. I have no idea why this city keeps popping up, except for it being truly God Himself. I've been praying for confirmation as to if this is truly God, or a back of my head desire to live in the city as my favorite football team :-)
Today, I went to hand a paper in to one of my teachers, who randomly enough has taught pretty much everywhere, including the state that this particular city is in. I decided to ask him about internships today. Repeat of conversation here:
Me-Hey, do you know of any good internships that would help me gain experience in (insert name of prayed about field here)
Dr SP- Oh, anywhere in particular? Are you wanting to stay in GA or go somewhere else?
Me-Well, I'm really open to almost anything. Staying in GA isn't really a priority for me.
Dr. SP-Well, I've got contacts up in (insert name of state here), and I can look up some, most of them are all in the same city.
(by this point I'm about to pass out)
Me-out of curiosity. what city would that be in.
Dr SP-(Insert name of specific prayed about city here).
(cue me falling out of my chair...)
Me-That sounds great!

So, in two weeks or so, I'll have a list of contacts in a city that I may possibly be moving to...Sometimes God speaks in a whisper, other times He speaks with a freight train. This time He used the freight train.

I Promise....


To blog more.
For real.
and to make my blog actually fancy cute and junk.
and to post pictures from the summer.
but, to tie the possible people reading this blog over, here you go
<--- this describes life as of late. Random people popping up like 'what the hey?' (like JD in the back), a little crazy and silly (like Abby) and a little clueless, but happy (like me).
i'm sure they'll love this when they see it.
