Snail Mail

So, I did it! I send my application in the mail today for NET and I honestly could not be more at peace or excited! I have talked on here before about wanting to make a different, and to do God's will and I really feel like right now, God is saying NET. I feel so honored I get to take advice from some of the most holy people I know, like Michelle, and really have this opportunity at all.

I am not sure as to whether or not I will get a invitation to an interview, or not, but I know either way that I am only doing as God wishes. If God wants me on NET next year, it will happen, if not, I know he has something in store for me.

Right now, I'm also trying to decide which Senior Pictures to give out. I had them done by Mindy May Photography, which I'd recommend, and I'm really impressed with how they turned out. God is good!

Keep praying and check out www.netusa.org during some free time.
What is God calling YOU to?

Discerning the originally thought discerned.




So, I am doing it... The unthinkable to me 2 years ago has now taken place. I just finished my Application for NET Ministries USA and let me tell you, I feel so light, so content and just at peace and almost anticipation about it. My sophomore year I really thought about NET hard, and, after months I felt like God was telling me no. A few months ago though, I starting thinking about it. Not sure why but it just was laid on my heart like a best friend I couldn't ignore.

It really is amazing how great the Lord is. I feel like he is sending me on this Adventure and just showering me with beauty and joy.

So, you might be wondering right now, what is NET? Well in case you don't know, it stands for National Evangelistic Teams. The main mission of NET Ministries is to challenge young Catholics (usually grades 8-12) to embrace their faith and the Church. There are 10 teams made up of over 100 young adults between the ages of 18 and 28. Each October, they hit the road armed with suitcases, sleeping bags, guitars, bibles, rosaries and hearts burning for Christ. The teams each lead retreats 6 days a week, and when not leading retreats, they share their faith where ever they are. So, here I go... Maybe next October I'll be leaving Minnesota to lead youth around our country closer to Christ. :) If you are interested in learning more about NET, or would like to donate to NET Ministries, please check out www.netusa.org/
