Everyone is probably wondering what is next for me I spent the last 3 years doing mission work both in the states and in Africa.  There has been a lot that I have learned and a lot that God is still teaching me.  This year with leading the FYM trip I have realized that I have been going non-stop since the fall of 2006 (that is when I first came to Africa). Which means there really hasn't been time to put all that he has taught me to use.  To know that I can do this thing called life and succeed.  Its like I have been in training for the last three years.  

SO...

                Next year I will be ...

I am really excited about this next season in my life.  I know that God has big plans for me and am excited to see how he will use this culinary degree.  I have been accepted to Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City, Michigan.  Just found out this week.  They have a culinary program in which I can get my associates in culinary arts and I can also get a business degree too. My hope with this is that I will be able to come back here to Africa and to open up a shop and hire those who cant find work or those who want to learn a skill.  I LOVE cooking.  Especially baking.  Just ask any of the teams I have been on.  I am always in the kitchen baking or helping with dinner.  I like to think that I got my joy of cooking from my Grandma who has cooked all her life and taught my sister and I how.
