The coolest opportunity

So I haven't shared this story yet...and I think it's time. I'm super excited about an opportunity that has  come about. A few weeks back (maybe a month or so) I ran out to my car to grab my bible and colored pencils...yes, I have a coloring bible! On my way back in I ran into my former bible study leader. She told me she had just seen a friend of her's who is leading a retreat in Krakow in October. She thankfully had a minute to run back in and introduce us! The friend told me about the organization and the retreat! I went into the service with a few extra minutes so I thought I'd check it out online. I requested more information but in the end decided to just go ahead and register. I received and email back later that week with details. I was able to qualify for a scholarship too! Fast Forward a few weeks and I was up at the CRU conference in Fort Collins. I was talking with some missionary friends about this opportunity. Low and behold they had heard of it and had been in discussions with the organization too! It sparked me to write an email that I was going to be sending my registration money in shortly. Come to find out the lady who is in charge of it happened to be at the CRU conference! I was able to meet up with her and chat with her for a few minutes. I was already feeling pretty excited and lucky for the whole opportunity. I was thrilled that I now knew two ladies who would be at it and they were even from my church! Then last THAT week my therapist contacted me with the same conference information saying she'd be at it too! How cool is that!?!?! I am so excited that about 6-8 weeks of getting situated in Poland I'll be able to take a retreat for self-care and spend some time with these wonderful ladies as well as the other ladies attending that I don't know yet. I am so excited to see how God is preparing the way for me and making sure to take care of me along the way! I am truly thankful and blessed for this opportunity..
