On Wednesday, I sent my parents an email about the Iowa City trip with a link to the Daily article. I thought I'd hear back in a day or two wondering what I'd been doing in order to get a crazy idea like this, and was expecting to have to defend why I felt like I should go.
Last night, I got an email from my mom, asking about the logistics--the article says it starts in the fall, would you have to break your lease; where would you go to community college and what would you study; where would the money come from--and I replied with the simple answers--don't have to break my lease; probably go to Kirkwood and finish my chemistry degree; have to take out loans.
This morning I got a reply back saying that it sounded like I was making good plans. I really thought that my mom would be totally against this whole thing--and admittedly, part of me was hoping for it, so I would have a way out. To see that she's supportive means that God has to be opening the way for me to go. It feels a little crazy to see how fast everything is moving right now, but I'll just have to hang on to God, and He'll get me through.
