My view on The Body of Christ and then some

The body of Christ is so amazing to me.

"If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it."- 1 Corinthians 12:26

This verse is so incredibly true. If a brother or sister in Christ is bummed out about something, I feel for them and I can relate to them. If they are happy, I'm happy with them. I need my brothers and sisters, and they need me. I feel like even though I'm in Boulder, I still feel like my spiritual family in Fort Collins needs me. I have had several sisters ask me when am I moving back to Fort Collins and that they miss having me around them all the time and they need me. Sometimes when I hear them say that, I cry. I want so badly to be back in Fort Collins but I know that God has me in Boulder for this semester. God has never steered me wrong so I will follow him where ever he leads me to. Back to my main point, as believers we are all connected because we have Christ in us. Therefore, we need to be surrounded by other believers and have fellowship. It is something we need that will helps grow closer to God. When we aren't surrounded by the body of Christ, we are like a fish out of water.

I also want to take this time to give you an update on some descisions I have made. I have been praying for a while about moving back to Fort Collins and I have decided that if the Lord my God, provides me with a job, housing, and money saved up (before I were to move) then I will move back to Fort Collins. I would like to move back sometime between mid-May and mid-August. I am still on the hunt for a job in Boulder and have started to look for jobs in Fort Collins. My plan is no matter where I'm at this summer to take a english class. Then my hope is to enter the Vet Tech program at the Front Range campus in Fort Collins in August. I'm going to be calling the Vet Tech program tomorow (after school) and see what all I need to do to get into the program. I am praying that my plan goes hand in hand with God's will for my life because if it is not his will, than I will not move back. I am also planning on going to a church that is within walking distance from my house so that I can have fellowship more while I'm in Boulder. Below I have listed some prayer requests that I have but, feel free to pray about anything for me. please let me know if there is anything I can be praying for ya'll!

Prayer Requests:
- Pray that God would give me wisdom to know his will.
- Pray that my conversation with the Vet Tech program goes well.
- Pray that God would provide me with a job soon.
- Pray that God would give me grace to do well this semester.
- Pray for a willing heart to be where ever God has called me to be
- Pray for guidance.
- Pray that God would provide me with a job, housing, and money saved up (if it is his will for me to move back to Fort Collins).
- Pray that I would have fellowship on more of a daily basis.
- Pray that no matter what that I would rejoice in whatever God has me doing after this semester.
