Winter? in Florida? How ridiculous.

God is sooo funny sometimes. 

So for a short little background story...In a year or so i might be living in Orlando, Florida. so my church, Kensington, is planting a campus in Winter Garden, Orlando, FL and I just might be headed there to spread the love of Jesus to the Orlando people yayyyyy!!! so how did this all come about. well one day I was sitting in church and they made this announcement that kensington is going to plant a campus in Orlando in 2010. so all the rest of the church service I couldn't get it off my mind so i went to the preview meeting afterwards just to check it out. so now, back at home being all pumped about Orlando, I figured I'd check out some college;s down there just for the heck of it to see if there were any good art college's in Orlando. so I type in Art Colleges in Orlando into the search engine and clicked on the first site that popped up. Full Sail University. and apparently it's like world renowned and accredited and all that jazz so I'm like alright cool this is a sweet school in Florida and they have a degree I want but Florida is big so where exactly is it? so I scroll down to the bottom of the page to see their address and not only is it in Orlando, but it's in winter park, the suburb just east of winter garden where the church is being planted aka 15 minutes away. um Hi God? are you trying to tell me something or what?? so from then on I've been praying about going and God just seems to be opening more and more doors but I'm still waiting to see what amazing things he has in store for me =) so anyways back to the why God is so funny. so today I'm driving not even thinking about Orlando or Full Sail or anything of the sort. actually I was thinking about running but anyways, I turned out at hayes and that little street behind Costco and this car in front of me who had already gotten my attention because it sat at a green light and I had to beep at them, turned down the first street on the right and what was the street name. of course, winter park. hahaha oh how ridiculously timed and weird is that? so then I'm studying for my test later on my computer and I'm googling the images and I looked away for a second and looked back and all the sudden I see the word Orlando in my face but then of course it's only the little sidebar that you would never notice as the first thing on the page but of course God's like hey check it out Carissa. lol how fun. you probably all think I'm crazy. whatever. I think if you love Jesus, sometimes you have to be crazy. ;) pray for me if you remember, I'd really appreciate it with all this decision making stuff. 

ps. of course now when i try to google "Art Colleges in Florida" Full Sail is no where to be found. aha how not coincidental if you ask me.
