Wow!

Soooooo here is the deal. My counter says I'm leaving in one hour:) but I'm actually leaving at 3:30 tomorrow!! Either way I just finished packing and now just like before my emotions are in high gear and I have no idea what I am feeling. I'm leaving this continent tomorrow to live my dream. What better blessing could you ask for?? God is so amazing, now if only I could find my passport pictures for my visa! I am trusting superstore will not be busy on a Sunday morning !!! Sleep well world! TOmorrow is a new day;)

yep. it's happening.

Yep. It's true. I leave for Uganda on Sunday. Sunday, this Sunday the 15th of January. Who knew (God did) that less than a year after leaving for Guatemala, I would be leaving to finish, or potentially start
the dream that God planted in my heart in high school.
This is crazy business.
Oh Africa, you and God consume my thoughts. And although I am super stoked to leave North America, I have to admit to being slightly freaked out. I feel nervous, inadequate and unprepared.
However,
these are just lies that I refuse to believe because
God is good.
God has a plan.
He is faithful.
Considering He has called me here at this time in my life I'm going to accept the fact that despite I am unskilled in the baby area, nineteen years old, just a smidgen passionate and completely inadequate...
I serve an uber big God. Who obviously is a magnificent orchestrator and has me in a position where I have no choice but to depend on Him. He has brought this journey this far and I can't wait to depend on Him fully for my daily bread with a heart full of thanks.

with that said, I mustn't waste anymore time fooling around. must. continue. packing. :)

yesterday I was inspired

yesterday was Christmas and I went to church and it was there I was again inspired. here you have my notes put into a stupendous INTENSE paragraph I created for a friend. enjoy :)

basically He {God} has unfathomable grace to give us every single day, BECAUSE we cannot boast in anything BECAUSE if we could boast in anything NO GLORY would be given to the CREATOR of the universe. therefore EVERYTHING do must be for the GLORY of God, BECAUSE apart from him NOTHING IS POSSIBLE but with him EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. therefore, we are CONTENT in all circumstances because we are promised eternal life, where there will be NO more sadness or tears, and this life, despite the love, the grace, the overwhelming joy and inspiration we can experience, this life is INCOMPARABLE to the life we will experience IF we give our lives completely SURRENDERED to Him. we can offer nothing except our HEARTS. and our hearts need to be WILLING and GRATEFUL. when they are these, they understand the need to be HUMBLE and when you are humble you are able to love with the love that OVERFLOWS only from Him. God gives GRACE to the HUMBLE. and when we live the life, when we live the plan that is uniquely ours that we are called to, than we live in a CONFIDENCE in the mighty saviour who's burden is LIGHT and yoke is EASY. He will SUSTAIN us and SAVE us and will give us REST in our SOULS. only when you are BROKEN and BLESSED can you be a blessing to others. when you realize your complete dependence on God, for EVERY.SINGLE. BREATH. for everything, when you realize your lack of INDEPENDENCE, but the sweet rewards of DEPENDANCE, you start to willing recieve the wonderous GIFT of INFLUENCE AND POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT. this is when life starts become an INTENSE JOURNEY that leads you closer to God's heart and to the person God has DESTINED you to be. amen.amen.
that is all. :)
