AMERICA!!

Once again, I have to CROSS a border to get into my homeland....how crazy! A few weeks ago I was LONGING for the land of the free...home of the brave...;-) So Nikki and I made a girls day trip to the states. I had to run a few errands and clear things up and we wanted to shop. So we get all girlied up...swapped out of our sweats and headed to the border. Little did we know we would be sitting in the line for two hours. But we made a fun trip out of it:-) Here's some pictures of us goofing off and enjoying ourselves while sitting in the car...forever...




Chai Tea and My Latest Thoughts

At about 1:00 this afternoon I had the strongest craving for a Starbucks Taizo Nonfat Chai Tea Latte, my absolute favorite drink in the world! So I ran and got my girly Nikki and we honestly made the fastest Starbucks run IN HISTORY! We had class in 10 minutes...and we made it back just in time! Amazing...I know:-) Anyway, now I am sitting in the library working on absolutely nothing but the blog. It's important to keep you all updated on the craziness here isn't it? Plus, I leave tomorrow afternoon to go home and spend the weekend with the family AND doing lots of homework. I'm not too worried;-)
But as for the latest, I'm just full of joy:-) God....He's amazing. Have I told you this before? I mean often we get so caught up in the busyness of life and the things that need to get done that we forget the see the little blessings in our lives. I've been learning to JUST BE lately. I have so many dreams, and goals, and other things that I want to get done or get started. But God didn't create us and our life to fret all the time. There is so much I am learning about the will of God lately that I HAVE to share a bit.
When it comes to my direction for next year, I'm so worried that I may not go along with God's plan. But after talking with some close friends of mine, I was told that God's plan is like a BIG cirle. We always think and hope to be smack dab in the circle doing EXACTLY what he wants us to do. But the rang is alot larger than we think. Don't get me wrong, he does have plans for us and does have a path he would like for us to take because it's the better way. But what I'm saying is, when it comes to things like choosing a college or a church to intern at, God may not scream from the clouds the ONE church I have to work out. He may have a few places I could go that either way, will be an amazing exoerience. Each one will bring its own lessons and blessings if I am in it for the right reason. And I think right now, I am feeling drawn closer to home for next year. At least an hour away so I can come home as often as I possible can. So basically, I feel that God is going to use me wherever I go and bring people into my life in all areas. Now, He does open and close doors to direct you to one place or a different direction. I'm just saying that there's a lot to learn about the will of God...or just God in general. I'm just sorting through thoughts so let me know of your opinion!
I'm so thankful for the people that God has placed into my life this year. It's such a blessing daily and I look forward to seeing how God uses them in my life. Either way, it'll be amazing!

Blessings:-)
