And he said to all, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." Luke 9:23

Vladimir on my mind...

So, I have no idea where I'll be this time next year.... I don't even have any idea where I'll be this summer (save in the wedding of one of my best friends on June 10!)... but for some reason, this one city keeps coming across my path.  It's become laughable how many random things have connected me to this city called Vladimir in Russia. 

This scholarship that I just applied for
(Which, may or may not be offered there this summer, but it's possible)

These missionaries that I'm praying for
(I literally just stumbled across their blog by clicking "next blog" on that top bar)

This cultural center that I've considered working for
(And, coincidentally, that administers the pen-pal program that my university program signed me up for)

This ministry that I stumbled upon in my frequent searches

This book that I picked up in the store one day

This author that is connected to the ministry and the book


So, I'm not saying that I know I'm going there, because who knows... but I am saying that if I do get accepted to a program there or apply for a job there, I'll know that the Lord has planted this city in my heart "from scratch", and it's been amazing to find references to it around every bend.
