| It's been over a year since I've updated last... I feel like I should apologize to xanga or something :) 2007 has been really good, well I should say God has been really good to me!! I spent the spring in Michigan recruiting college kids for summer at Gull Lake Ministries and getting ready for the summer. I was the secretary last summer at GLM and loved it! It was very challenging but that was to be expected. I learned a lot and was changed for the better. I was blessed and surprised and forced to trust the Lord more!! I moved back to Alabama at the end of August, spend a week in Guatemala in September, and since then I've been working towards going back to Guatemala to work at a children's home. Actually, I've wanted to do some type of ministry with orphans since my senior year at Samford but now it's actually happening! I've been accepted as an intern with Kids Alive International in Guatemala!! I'm going sometime in the end of January...no date yet...but I am going! I'll be back in mid-May. I'm still praying about what's after that....God knows!!
I'm finally updating this in hopes that I'll use this when I'm in Guatemala, and if people want to they can read about what's going on. I will need prayer, this I know! I'm slowly finding out what's happening and what I'll be doing, but I think I'm going to be working with the younger girls at the home(preschool age). I also hope to be an extra hand for the staff and house parents to make their lives a little easier. I don't know much, but I know that the Lord is big and He knows what He's doing and He'll give me what I need when I need it. He has always been faithful and always will be!
I guess I'll wrap this up for today. Happy New Year!
"O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago." Isaiah 25:1 | | |
| "If we are to better the future we must disturb the present." Catherine Booth Last night I got to see a meteor shower!!!! I love living in the sticks where it gets really dark & the stars are bright. God is really really big and I am really really small. PRAISE HIM!! | | |
| I think i'm a bad xangite. I haven't felt like updating very much lately. Life is good though, i'm still loving living in michigan and my job, the Lord has given me so much! Things are still a little confusing, as previously stated, but I'm ok with it. I have to be!!! The Lord will fill me in when I need to know what's going on. This is part of the fun of knowing God, He keeps me on my toes! It is absolutely beautiful around here, I've never seen so much snow! I'm learning to drive slowly & I'm amazed at how people around here can be on time for stuff, you have to leave like an hour early if you don't want to be late. I was born late, so this is a challenge. Catie and I got a cute little christmas tree!! It's about 3 or 4 feet tall & we have it up on our coffee table  . It's a fir tree & Catie came up with the name Firdinand, hahahaha. We went wassailing last night, this was a new experience for me. From what I gathered, wassailing is when you get really really bundled up, walk around & freeze your watermelons off, and eat free food!! It was pretty sweet! They even had 2 reindeer, i had no idea those guys were so short, or maybe they were the dwarf kind. One reason that I love Christmas is because of the sweaters that older ladies wear. They are interactive sweaters, with little people and trees and candy canes and glittery beads and I even saw a lady who had a leapard print collar with one of these sweaters. I've seen a few that light up & one time I saw a sweater that played music. This is awesome  Merry Christmas!!! | | |

Well, my life has once again become very confusing and odd...it's ok though, I'm getting used to it. I get overwhelmed with it all, though I know that worrying will not help a thing. I've got scripture though, and this is what I'm trying to focus on:
"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Matthew 6:33 I am so completely worthless in my humanity, thank God for grace! I am nothing, but I love a big God. He gives me joy in this fog | | |
| I am back in Alabama for a few days, this is a beautiful thing. Happy Thanksgiving! | | |
