More Delays (or "My Future Hangs in the Cogs of Bureaucracy")

As many of you know, I have been nominated for a position with the Peace Corps and am waiting for my medical evaluations to be reviewed. Unfortunately, I recently received word that I need to send additional information before they will continue reviewing my paperwork. I've been told not to expect to hear anything for another month at the least. :(

No one could be more excited about getting the official offer than myself, and I appreciate the support my friends and family have offered thus far. It truly is a blessing to have so many people encouraging me to follow my dreams!

If you've spoken with me about Peace Corps (or even read the blogs), you know how ecstatic I am at this opportunity! As I have said before, I have thought ("dreamed," you could say) of volunteering overseas for more than 10 years, and as I researched and applied for Peace Corps this spring, it just felt right.

The way I like to look at so many things in life is: "if it is supposed to happen, God will make it happen. If something else is supposed to happen, God will make that happen." And that is exactly the attitude I take with Peace Corps as well.

I'll let you know as soon as I know anything, but for now, my future hangs in the cogs of bureaucracy.
