All About Carrie

I've got Georgia on my mind

I have been a pretty busy gal. I started out by thinking it would be smart to combine going to a meeting in Irvine and flying out that night. That meeting actually turned into four meetings and almost an all day thing. I talked with several people in the Regional Office about possible positions for me there. I can work with the events team in a Finance role as well as being involved on the event planning side. There is another option on the table of being a communications person where I would work on the PR side with the media and all as well as keeping the staff in our region informed about what is going on. I also talked with our HR Director about options in general and campus ministry. I don’t know right now what I want to do. I want to lay it all on the altar and make the decision God wants me to. I don’t know if I am over complicating things and should just go with what my heart is telling me. It is hard deciding and it means leaving behind a place that I have lived for the last seven years (not that it is an option to stay here) Please just pray with me as I make this decision.

After all my meetings I headed to Elisa’s for our flight out of LAX. I never thought to change as our flight was at 10:10 pm.

Here we are at the airport

After almost no sleep and a VERY long conversation with a Mormon we arrived in Atlanta, GA. Now we went to get our car and waited for Kristin to join us. It was so good to see her. Now we had the drive to northern Alabama. “There has to be an Alabama out there somewhere” as Jan said. We stopped for breakfast/lunch at Crate and Barrel, wait, silly me it is Cracker Barrell. The silly things we say when we haven’t had sleep. I made another guy friend here (that was number 4 for me, I was on a roll!) We eventually made it to the camp and it was then that I realized how long I had been in my clothes. All the girls were starting to arrive.





Convention was such a blast. It was so great to be there with all of the girls from everywhere. The camp was amazing and we were really able to bond. I was the speaker and I think it went alright. Kristin and I lead a devotional in the evening and the girl’s worked together over some passages and that was amazing. BEfore leaving we stopped at the sigmas House

A day isn't complete without a pic taken with 12 cameras!!

After being delayed a few hours we made it back to LA and back to Irvine. I then took the train back to Fresno. All in all I was gone six days, visited four states and made over 100 new friends. These are memories I will never forget.

Now I am working on a retreat with our students this weekend. I have been asked to take the plans that were made and make the weekend happen. Please be praying for our students as they get wisdom as to what to do next weekend. May the Lord guide us as we prepare to talk.

Next weekend a group of 22 of us are going to Louisiana for a Katrina Relief trip. It is going to be a long couple of weeks, but God is in the center of it and I am excited to see what happens.
