Feeling So Blessed!

Update from the 'Please Pray' blog post ....

God is soOoO good guys!.... I've been seriously praying and trying to figure out where to do my field placement for my practicum in the Fall. I've been praying a lot about it and I even thought about going to Japan, but it's way too short notice for that to happen. I was worried about finding a placement I wanted because so many girls had already begun calling and making interviews before me, since I found out late that I could graduate early. My first choice for a Practicum was the Child Advocacy Center in Florence (I was really worried about getting this placement though because so many people had already interviewed from my class and I had heard they were only taking two people and one girl in my class had said she had already gotten one spot) and then I also interviewed at the Diocesan Children's Home in Ft. Mitchell. I got a hold of the Children's Home right away. The Advocacy Center took a lot of time to finally get an interview with (I probably called 15 times, lol, and left a few voice-mails, messages, and e-mails, the women I interviewed with even said that I was very persistent in calling which they liked, thankfully, lol) Both meetings went well. The Child Advocacy Center said they would let me know Monday (today) if I was accepted and the Children's Home told me right away I got the practicum if I wanted it. I really wanted the Advocacy center though because not only did I think it would look better on a resume, but I thought I would be challenged there and both the women I interviewed with seemed to be Christians which would be an awesome bonus :) ... So I had been praying ever since the interview that if it was God's Will I would get it and today I probably checked my e-mail for their response 20 times, lol. Well around 5 pm I still had not gotten anything. I started to get kind of disappointed, but then I checked my voice-mail and I had a message from Mrs. Holleran, one of the main women who will be supervising me and who I interviewed with,  she told me that I could have the practicum if I wanted it and they'd be happy to have me! I checked my e-mail also and there was a message in my inbox from her telling me I got the Practicum! I feel so blessed! I am just so appreciative that I was chosen to intern there! Thank you for all of you who were praying for me! I feel like I'll learn a lot there and be able to help a lot of families and children (In case if you all didn't know the Advocacy Center helps children who are sexually, physically, or mentally abused or have witnessed a violent crime). Please keep me in your prayers that I can do the best of my ability there when I start in the Fall (hopefully I'll do some volunteer work there this Summer) and keep these families and children in your prayers also, they really need it! Thanks guys! :) And thank You Lord for this amazing opportunity!
