So cool and I stole it from Karen!
...I can't believe Kenya is only three and half months away. CRAZINESS I TELL YOU! I am so excited and nervous about going. I know the Lord is going to do a work in us and through us while we are over there. I pray that He will equip me so I will be able to reach out to these children. At one of our meetings we were talking about the children and learned that most of them are there because of lack of money and/or their parents have AIDS. From the moment you walk in the door about three or four children cling to you for the rest of your time there. It will awesome, emotional, moving and any other word that applies as well. I hope I will be a good example of what God's love is to these children. Today I handed in half of my money to go, it makes it one step closer and more of a reality. When I really start to think about it, I anaylze everything. It is not good. We know this, and I still do it regardlessly. But, in Hebrews it says that faith is the belief in the things unseen. Hebrews 11 is such a powerful chapter. The hall of fame of faith, these people had so much faith and I hope to have almost half of what they had! So, applications...the Lord is going to be with me. He is always there. Hebrews 11.
~ Two months and counting...Nathanael and I started dating two months ago today! It seems like I have known him for so much longer, it has been amazing. The Lord has blessed me with him. I am so undeserving of this and that is what makes it so wonderful. I am undeserving of every blessing that He gives me. Amazing grace. The leader that Nathanael is becoming has been a great example of what I need to become as well. He has helped me focus more on what the Lord wants for me and I don't even thinks he realizes it. But he will when he reads this:). Anyway, I have been really reading in the Bible lately to see what the Lord says about the body of Christ and I am in awe. It is so important to have unity with one another. It is sad that in today's world people are becoming more and more individualistic in their thinking. We tend to think that our faith is only ours and we don't need to attend church to grow. Granted, I believe that faith is inidividualistic in the sense that it's our faith is between the Lord and me only, but I do believe that we need to be unified with other believers because we are the body of Christ. Ephesians 4...the whole thing...is a good chapter to read on that one.
~ K, so other then that, I am trying to think of anything else that happened today. I actually have not been feeling well and it makes me a little worried because I have a real bad headache and have been getting nose bleeds today. Yes, nose bleeds and I DO feel like I am in elementary school for saying that. I have also been extremely tired, which is probably because of the lack of sleep I have been getting. Oh well, what can ya do? Manage my time better? NAHHHH! The things I need to get done this week are as follows: Read the book Wicked for class (or get real good notes on it;)), read for Theory, Do Research Methods, Send out support letters and finally sleep sleep and sleep. Most of those things will most likely get done on Sunday evening. Yes, I do know how to manage my time well. Not. K, well I need to go because I have written a lot and am probably boring everyone...or everyone has stopped reading because I have lost their attention.
~ PEACE OUT, YO!
