East to West,

So much is on my heart. I haven't blogged in quite sometime but sooo much has happened. I am going back to Colombia, South America for another mission trip! I am so excited and I feel called to do so much more while I am there. Last year was my first out of country mission trip and I think that I was scared and nervous and I think I tried to hard to search for broken people. I have been praying since we got back from Colombia that I would recieve the chance to return and that God would use me even more. The past few months, God has really spoken to me. One thing that he has really taught me is to just listen to him. This year, I am going to Colombia more willing. I surrender myself and I am completely willing to be uncomfortable for God. I want to do everything to move Colombia. I don't to leave and have the people be the same. So in order to do the huge things that I know God is planning for me to do, I am working hard to do these things:

• read my bible more


• pray


• fast


• really just take time to listen to Gods voice over my own


• practice my spanish. A LOT.
  
• pray, pray, pray!!!!!!

and that is all I have but I am sure more will be coming.
If you are reading this and willing to pray as well, it would be greatly appreciated if you pray for the health of my teammates and myself, financial support, safe travels, and emotional and spiritual preparation. I am so excited for this trip especially because I have grown so much spiritually since this time last year and I know that it is going to make a HUGE difference.

Another thing still on my heart is the world race. Even though I will not be a participant until I am 21 years old, I am still trying to prepare spiritually and I am trying to really listen to God and have a heart like his. I long to be more like him every day in every way. I have been in contact with some of the administrators and they seem to be such great people. They are even sending me information about mission work I can do through them next summer. And they have a Uganda trip that is three months so I am really praying about it because I have felt called to go there for years now and I have always planned on it being when I graduated from school so this trip seems as if it would be perfect.

Outside of that, the rest is just life. Friday I went dress shopping with Cassandra and then we had dinner with my mom. After that, we went to her house and had a party for my lovely sister, alyshas, birthday party. Then Saturday was Ian and Ashleys wedding. It was beautiful. Then I hungout with Villian, Alysha, her two friends and the lovely Cassandra! c: But yeah, outside of that. There is nothing to really talk about. I mean, a lot is on my heart but nothing I can put into words quite yet!

PLEASE KEEP POSTED ♥
