I'm leaving the country on September 28th, not to return until March 19th. It's amazing really. God provided for my ticket this past thursday and yesterday it came in the mail. I have it in my hands, and it probably won't leave my hands for 8 days! I'm getting a little nervous now, but it's a good excited kind of nervous. I've been praying about ( Read more... )

I have a freakin' plane ticket! I'm goin' to Australia!!!

how different everything feels in the morning? I sat out on our front porch after saying goodbye to my sister who I won't see for at least six or seven months and I realized how amazing mornings really are. Everything is so fresh.

I was feeling sick and then Kevin called with yet another yearbook problem. I cried in front of Michael smith when I went to ask him if I could skip out ( Read more... )

It's been two weeks since I checked my e-mail so I had 44 unread messages. Most of them from the AJC, Gospel For Asia, The One Campaign, Grassroots music and The Facebook. It was entertaining none the less. But I'd really love some REAL mail ( Read more... )

Well, it's been an intersting first few days. I am definitely enjoying myself, but I already see the ways that God is going to be growing me. I love the beach, and I'm doing really good abotu pacingmyself so I won't get burnt out (or burned)right away. I'm meeting tons of cool people and still getting over my shyness. I'm really lucky because I'm ( Read more... )
