Ha!
What an odd feeling, 23 yrs old. now don't think i am complaining or whining, but it's a weird feeling to get older. only 1 more day!! ahh!
it's odd to stop and think where thought i would be at this point. where i am is deffinately not where i thought i would be. so where i am i?
I am still living at home with my wonderful family. i love them all dearly and it is just working out staying at home.
I am in love with my amazing boyfriend Jordan. we have been dating for almost 7 months now. It has been an incredible experience getting to know him and just seeing how God can put two people together and make them fit. it's awesome! he is from missouri (totally butchered that...yikes), he moved up here after a year in a discipleship program and now is in
terning at our church. He is an amazing man of God and blows me away consistantly.
i am working selling insurance for State Farm now. and by no means do i or will i represent the ideas or opinions of State Farm in any shape or form. :P i've been working here for a little over a year now! craziness i tell you! but it's good, my co-workers and boss are amazing and have become like family to me.
i am back working with the youth group. i forgot how much fun those crazy teens can be! jordan and i head up the 11th and 12th grade discipleship group once a week and it is such a blessing. the kids have become so precious to me, i want to see them succeed and dream big. i love it!
recently jordan and i got back from a week long missions trip with a team of 15 total youth and leaders to build houses in tiajuana, mexico. as far as drug lords go, very uneventful, except for the chinook (helicoptor) with a spotlight scanning the area. no gun fights or anything. instead we built 2 houses in 4 days!! can you believe it! such an awesome experience and i loved it. God really used this trip to remind me how capable i am and that if i rely on Him i can do so much more.
this next week i am taking off on another adventure. i will be heading to Nepal with a group of 7 total to go hiking through the mountains to the tibetian border to minister to villages along the way and ultimately make it to the refuge camps on the border. apparently we will be going to places few if any white people have been before. how amazing is that! i am so excited and intimedated all at once. but God has promised over and over again to be with me and equip me. i know i will not be on this trekk alone.
Jordan will be going as well and i am so excited to continue building our relationship, especially on the mission field. how many people get to do that! it should be an amazing trip!
but of course we come to the volcano. it erupted again tonight, surprise surprise, but this time it has brought us a light dusting/blanket. so now our plans are to road trip down to seattle in order to make our flight to asia! talk about an adventure. i am still praying that volcano will sshhhhh! and we'll be able to fly out as planned, but i am trusting God.
it is so much fun learning how to be flexible and then excersising that as twists come along the way. i am excited to see what else God will do along this trip!
signing off for now,
cheerio!!
