Wow... this week has just been busy and cant seem to grasp it all. :)
Ephesians 3:16 I pray that out of his gloriouse riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in you inner being!

The sweetness of it all
I stop and breathe
Most days I let life pass without giving them a second thought
I stop to think
Waking up and going about my day without considering those around me
I stop and breathe
Everything around me is about to change right before my eyes
I stop to think
Things may change but I hold those memories close in my heart
I stop and breathe
I have joy in so many things and been blessed by so many people
I stop to think
God has given me everything I need, Him, but also sooo much more
I stop to breathe
I am in love
I stop to think
"I love because He first loved us"
I stop to breathe
My past is not a reflection of who I am today
I stop to think
God has transformed my life and made me a new creation
I am His
I think this way because He made me this way
I breathe because He has given me life
Though my heart yerns that every thought would be to His Glory
And my every breathe would be in thanksgiving for all He has done
I am who He has made me to be
Nothing less
I breathe
I am His

Rain rain on my face!
And so as I returned late night, 3am, from a wonderful weekend visiting my old roommie. :) It was a weekend full of food, laughter, children, and dancing! tought by yours trully :) (eletric slide, and swing dancing to some of the couples who wanted to learn.) It was probably hands down the best weekend away I have ever had. A good finishing get away before I make my way home.
I plan on staying checked in to my life here all the way up till the very last day. I can not even explain how amazing blessed I feel right now to have just been here and experianced sooo much. Gods work in my heart has changed me forever. Glory to Him for everything that has happend!!
Today even though I got in suuuper late, the time with the kids was wonderful! I was filled with joy as I played the guitar and the others banged on drums or shook shakers, all in time together singing Jingle Bells! My heart swells with love for them, and I trully will miss them and all the fun times I have had with them. BUT! I still have a couple weeks ahead of me, and in each day I pray that Gods love will overflow into the kids lives. :)
Happy Late Thanksgiving everyone!! Love ya all!

A great adventure!
This weekend will be my last weekend of travel. My roommate and I are going to be traveling up north to visit my old roommate, who if you remember stayed about a month with me at the very begining. The trip is about 5 1/2 hours grand taxi, and 6hours bus. In the taxi we would have to make changes to another taxi and we didnt want to do that. So we planned on taking the bus, the times said that a bus leaves every day at 1:15, so we planned on leaving today thursday at 1:15 right after we finish up work. Well silly us people in this part of the world use military time, sooo when it says 1:15, it means 1:15AM. So after talking with my roommate about the whole situation we are still going to go, tonight/friday morning :) 1:15AM!! It shall be a great adventure!

Cold, but warming my heart
I can remember when I started this blog and it was the summer I was always saying how hot it was. Well my friends, it is now just to cold. There is no heat in our house and we have to pile blanets ontop of each bed. If you know me at all you know I dont like to wear shoes to much at all, or socks for that matter. I find myself wearing socks and shoes around the house now because it is just so cold. (Though today while leading worship for our church I wore red flip flops.)
It has begun to rain, not as much as back home but enough to make me feel like I am back home. :) I hear it is snowing some there, the plan better be able to land when I get back!
I travel this weekend to visit one of my first roommates here :) I am very excited to see her and the work shes got going up in the north. I have been stay clear of sickness, but my temporary Mom has been down with a cold for a long time please keep her in your prayers.
well, life is stil life here, God is always good, worries seem silly and I know hes taken care of it all!
One of the songs I lead today at church is called Be My Everything. I think of those words and pray always that God shows me more and more of His wonderful plan and that in everyday He is my everything. With all that I do, He is my everything. Whether I am waking or going to sleep, resting or active, happy or weary "... Give me Jesus, you can have all this world, just give me Jesus!"
If God is not in everything then it really dosnt mean anything.
G2G!
