Everything works out in the end

I just spoke with Liran, my Shlichat Aliyah this evening and she clarified all of the issues I had, informed me that the assistant I had been working with has left the Jewish Agency but that she did complete everything correctly in regards to my file and the like. Can't say that I've been more relieved in a long time. I've been getting myself too worked up in this process! I've been feeling like people don't listen to me and things aren't getting done when in reality I'm right on track. Liran advises I hold off a little while on the Visa application I think until next month which is fine with me because I have not time to go to philly right now as I'm in the midst of a rediculous amount of school work and will be preparing for finals shortly. Thank you Yael and Cori for the quick and helpful responses and If anyone missed memorial day and independence day in Israel check out yael's blog at olehgirl.com for some great videos and commentary.
In continuance of the theme of this post, I'm beginning to reflect on the last 4 years of my life and I can't believe how fast the time goes. The path I thought I was embarking on as I entered college life is not the one I've taken. I certainly didn't take the fastest, most direct, or least resistant path, I blazed new trails, tried and failed, and sometimes when I least expected it succeeded. There were great laughs, lots of tears, time with friends, and time of lonliness but I've made it, the path was never clear I never imagined it would lead to such great friendships, and so many unique opportunities. In my preparations to become an Oleh Chadash, to settle amongst my people and tie myself to the land nation that has been our collective hope for generations I realize that the older and wiser people in my life who have always told me things happen for a reason and that everything will work out for the best are right. I will graduate from University a better person, I will move to Israel and I will strive to improve my new home with all I have learned along the way and it will all work out in the end.
