well, guess Im back from Africa.  I am glad to be home and VERY glad to be back with the people who love me most.  It has been an AMAZING summer and I would love to sit and talk with you about it all.....there's lots.  God has blessed my life so much and I can't even begin to express all of that on a Xanga site.   So, I'll tell you all about it sometime if you wanna know.  I must tell you all thank you SO MUCH for the prayers for my team and I while I was gone.  Glory goes to God for His provision and care for His children.  I appreciate you all so much.

What a beautiful weekend it has been.  Things happen when you least expect them to.  I keep asking myself what to do when this continues to happen, but I haven't come up with anything better than to just go with it.  I don't know if this is best, but I don't know what else to do.  So, until I know what to do I am going to just keep goin with the flow.....i guess    Life is crazy lately.  I have been and still am quite busy with school work and Godspell.  It's been one of the hardest semesters of my entire life, but I have been able to see God's hand and follow it and that makes it all worth it and it makes it one of the best semesters of my college career.  There is so much that I want to do with my life so that I make an impact on the lives of the people around me....but not for me, just so that God will be able to use me for His Glory to shine brighter.  I really just want to be used in the way that He created me to be used for....whatever that is. 

Maybe I am being selfish because I am getting in the way of that with my own desires for my life that might be outside of God's plan for me....uh!  I dunno!  I think I analyze too much.  Maybe I'll just go do what I am supposed to do right now (homework) and let God take care of that.....duh! Sorry I ramble.  I have a lot on my head these days.

traveling with choir is over for another semester....i don't really have much thought about this except that i am happy to have a few weekends free now.  but i am going to miss some things...until next year when it starts again.   it was a good semester and i learned so much about myself that i will take with me and continue to grow from.  i am especially thankful that a certain Zach Korf was able to travel this semester.  he kept us all laughing and encouraged.  he along with many other amazing people made this semester one that i will prolly not forget. and if you need a good laugh, ask me what i did this weekend on the way home....

okay seriously, thank you to all of my amazing friends who encourage me and pray for me daily.  i don't think you will ever know how God has been using you lately in my life.  He has provided for me (even when i didn't see it).   it is just my prayer and hope that i am and will be able to be the same for all of you. 

God loves us so much and we must rejoice because His love goes deeper than we are even able to express.  so sing about the goodness of our God today.  tell someone something good and allow God to use you to encourage His children.
