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!

Today

Got back last night from an awesome weekend in Spain! As I walked up my stairs to my apartment door the smell of a sheep filled the whole hall. My neighbors had most likley gotten there sheep for the hoilday and probably struggled to get it but all those stairs. I woke up this morning to a sheep upstiars making lots of noise, it probably knew that its life was going to be over in a couple hours. I was invited to watch one of my families do the deed to the sheep but I had woken up a little late and wasnt to sure I could have actually been able to keep my breakfast in if I did watch it. But its one of those exciting times and watching everyone on the streets bellow all waiting for the time when the sheep would be slotered. I didnt see it, but me and my roommate listend to it....... I cannot even discribe it. I am glad I didnt go and watch, I know now I couldnt have handled it. I can only thank God that He sent His son to take our sins and that we do not have to make a sacrifice of lambs or cows or anything. Jesus is the ultiamate sacrifice! THANK YOU GOD! I want you to ponder this question, as I did, what if you had to kill a sheep for your sins? would one sheep be enough? How often do we thank God for sending His son? I know I often just go about my day not even considering all the things He has done. My life is for His Glory and for his taking anywhere.
Dont let the day go by without praising Him! He gave you this day, dont waist it.

Mothers & Fathers

Thank you!!!!

God is Good.

I was able to call one of my grandmas and talk to her for a good while, I do miss my family very much and I am very eager to see them all again. I may have said this already but this month is going to fly by. Im traveling 3 out of 4 weekends and my schedule has and is going to change some more with watching kids. :) I like change so it is good.

The weather is now cooling down and I have layed down the rugs and added an extra blanked to my bed. It is alot harder to get a house warm here, there is no furnce or fireplace, but we make due with blankets and warm clothes. Its a little weird since it get way colder inside the house then it actually is outside. Not much rain as I hear its been typical weather back home :) I was born in the right state because I love the rain and whenever it rains just a little I become overjoyed and want to go run in it! (with no shoes!! :D i miss going bearfoot everywhere)

Gods pretty much He is always working. I have been learning alot about myself from living with other girls, seeing how I process things (verbal processer :) ) while my other roommates process things internally. I find that the areas He is working in me most is communication with others, not letting things go or just avoiding them but being able to talk them through and understand the other person not just think my way is always right. I have been humbled most of the time.

There is so much I wish I could write, about each experiance. I see that I cannot explain it all and some of you may never fully get all of the things that made living here such a great experiance. But that is totally a-okay! :) I wish I was a better writer and speller so my words could just paint pictures, but Gods given me other gifts then those and soon Ill be home to share in person with all of you how God has transformed my life and become the center and my world. :)

Love you all!!
