*SIGH*

This is hard to write....

I am not going to London. No, I haven't heard back from the Government to see if my second attempt was successful. But, I can't wait around anymore. For several reasons. Mainly because I need a paycheck! When I first found out I might not be going I decided that I would give it until October 1st. By then the internship would be a month in and the Alpha Course at Holy Trinity Brompton would have started. So, I've already missed a lot. So, when October 1st came I was very sad, but I knew it was over. Don't worry...God and I discussed it first. I called Southwest Airlines yesterday and may I just say that I work for the coolest company in the world? They built me an October work schedule within 45 minutes. Just like that they put my life back to normal. I LOVE THEM!

I have to say that yes, I am sad, but at the same time I feel a huge sense of relief. I really need to get back to life.

I will be sending out another letter with details as to why this didn't work out. Also, those of you who donated money, thank you SO MUCH! You will be getting it back with my letter. Marie, the accountant at Christ Church, has a list of everyone and she'll make sure the money gets back to the right person.

To all of you I want to say thank you again for all of your love, support, and prayers. God didn't take me to London and I may never know why, but He certainly showed me His love and grace through all of you.

I'm so sorry to hear that - but sounds like you were able to get back to normal without missing a beat! I'm still planning on going over Thanksgiving if you can swing it...found some cheap Hostels.
Miss you - come back to Chicago soon!!
