we find out tomorrow night where we will be for the next year of our lives. The Celebration of Ministries service is tomorrow night, and that is where they announce to all of the DCE graduates the churches they will be placed at.
I'm so excited! DCE interns can basically be placed anywhere there is a Lutheran church big enough to need one. My old roommate, Jaime, was placed in Seattle for her internship this year, and one of my friends, Ellie, went to New Zealand with her husband for his call. We know that we will be in CA though. We requested it that way, since I'm working on my CA teaching credential. What good would that do me in Wellington? I am kind of sad though, because I would love an adventure like that! (but I can't complain, since it is my fault!)
I know it's his placement, and his internship, but I think I'm just as excited about it as he is. It's not just affecting him. It will affect us both. I want to be involved in the church and share in everything that I can. I don't want the school to be "my thing" and have church be "his." We will be married, and sharing in everything. I can't wait to go there and find out how God can use me there too.
This time tomorrow night, I'll know what city we will be living in. Right now, I have no idea. It could be Sacramento, it could be San Diego. So many exciting possibilities! The most exciting thing of all, though, is knowing that God already has it planned out, and is just waiting for us tomorrow. I love encouraging people by saying "you may not know your life plans yet, but God does, and He's already got it underway," but this is so much bigger. We have no idea, but it's already arranged! It's like it's a big present sitting under the tree, all wrapped up and waiting for us to come tomorrow night to open it.
I'm going to be so proud of Jesse at that ceremony. I already am. I love him so much!
