What's Up?

My blog has been a little silent so I thought I would right a little update post on what’s been going on in my world these days. To start I am in the middle of my SIXTH semester in college. WHAT? When did this happen? Your guess is as good as mine, but I am loving it and all the amazing things I am learning and the memories I am making with some fantastic friends. I am still working on my degree in biochemistry; however, I have added a minor in business administration. I wanted to open some more doors for my post college life and it helped will in some hours to stay full time! School takes up a good chunk of my time between class, my research project, homework and this thing called a social life. My research project that I have been working on for close to a year has officially been accepted to the National Conference of Undergraduate Research and so I will be traveling to Washington state in mid-april to present my research.

I am bless with a wonderful group of women in my social club called Zeta Gamma. You can check out our second place winning follies show on YouTube under “Master Follies Zeta Gamma Guard-en Gnomes 2015”. I am the very convincing raccoon on the left side!

I gave myself until the New Year to just float through life and not really care how things ended up. Mainly this was revolving around my active participation in church and all things of that nature. I was attending church every week but that was about it. God and I got real with each other and I gave myself till the New Year. The first Sunday of the year I went to the Next Step center at Experience Life and got introduced to someone that I didn’t know was going to be such an impact in my life. I am now involved in a group of women in a program called Phase 1 that meet weekly for two hours for discipleship training and 1 hour a week for corporate prayer. I am also attending the college service at Raider Campus with a group of my friends. I love being so involved again.

So I talked about Phase 1, well Phase 2 is a year of international mission training, and then Phase 3 is to Go! I have always wanted to travel and experience international culture, and I started a #goingcoastal this past year to remind me of my goals. I am taking the first step this spring break with a trip to Nabaj, Guatemala March 14-20. I am going with a group of mostly college aged people from Experience Life and I am so excited, I am a little of 50% funded and I am so blessed over all the support that I have received. If anyone would like more information about my trip feel free to contact me.

I also created another #jordantakes20 on my birthday and I use this to track all the amazing adventures my 20^th year brings. I didn’t know it before but this year has become my favorite. I have already grown so much and its only 6 months in. I have given God control of my whole life down to everything I do and I am so excited to experience all God has for me.

The next major thing that is happening is my summer plans. After a month of serious prayer, several application, amazing references, and did I mention tons of prayer?... I finally was offered and accepted to be a group camp counselor at Camp Eagle in Rock Springs, Texas. I will be leading groups of about 10-30 people each week with my camp counselor through all their activities while at camp. I am so excited for this next adventure and I am already praying over the summer and all it will hold. I have already started my bracelet collection for the summer *pictured*. The first 80 degree day brought them out!



only the beginning...

If you follow me on any of my social media which you should (there are links to everything on this blog page, left column) then you have seen my and my #enohammock. I love my hammock and my chacos escecially when I get to wear them while in my hammock. My best friends and I are going to challenge our selfs to hammock 1000 different times/places this year, we dont have a cool hashtag for that but if you think of one let us know!

This is just the beginning and like I said I am so excited to see where God takes me in this life. I appreciate every prayer, “like”, text, call, comment or any other way each and every person is supporting me. It truly means the world to me.

With all God’s comforting peace, unconditional love, and overflowing joy,Simply Jordan
