It's been a long time since I've blogged on here but there are a few things coming up I'm pretty excited about. Since I came home from England, I have been finishing my 2-year degree at Northwest Mississippi Community College while working 3 jobs! I've worked at Getwell Road United Methodist, Cherokee Valley Golf Course, and StateFarm and life has been busy. I even had a girlfriend for a little while (believe it or not). I've been trying to figure out what God wants me to do with my life and through that I have begun to see a bigger picture of my time in England and how to get back. With that being said, I recently applied for an internship to work with UK-USA ministries for the summer. I'm excited and can't wait to be back at my other home. I'll be there for the entire summer if I get the internship, and will be doing all sorts of stuff from sports, to going into schools, to many other things. I'll be leaving in May then coming back at the end of July, I'm excited about the opportunity and looking forward to being able to reach out to many people from many backgrounds.
Another thing has been trying to figure out where I want to go to college and what to do after the summer. As of last night, I took a job working for my sister where I will be living in Hawaii taking care of my 3 nephews while my sister and her husband are working. So after I get back from England, I will be packing up and moving my life to Hawaii. I'm excited and nervous about the opportunity as I will miss my friends and family here, but what an adventure it will be. Obviously this will be tough leaving Getwell where I have worked for almost 4 years now, but they have been supportive and loving throughout this process. The biggest thing for me is having time to spend with my 3 nephews and being a Godly influence in their lives. I'll miss my small group, the JOY group, the parents I've connected with, and the friends I've made. Feel free to come visit me in the 808.
The biggest challenge in my way right now is raising money for the England trip. I've got to raise around $5000 for the summer trip and that includes Plane tickets, Train tickets, living expenses, and spending money. I'll post a link on Facebook if anyone wishes to donate, and as always if you can't donate and want to help, just share the link. I had so many people donate last year that I didn't even know because somebody else shared my link. I'm excited about this chance I have to serve in England then move on to a great opportunity in a beautiful place. If you ever want to know more, message me on Facebook, text me, or let's go to lunch! Oh and if you ordered a shirt, they will be in next week! I love you all and am thankful to have you all in this wonderful and crazy walk I've had!
Love,
Hunter Brooks (Glen Coco)
