How did I end up with JourneyCorps?

At the beginning of my senior year, I was praying about what life after college would bring, I knew that I didn't want to go straight into grad school. I basically said to God 'it would be really cool if I could end up in a country in Africa, that also spoke french, where I could serve.' And then eventually, JourneyCorps showed up. Seems like a perfect fit for me. Lots of ways to serve, in Cote d'Ivoire, and aimed to help the journeyer learn where God is leading. In my last post I explain in more detail WHY I've decided to go.
