Thinking about everyone

I don't know if anyone is still reading this blog. However, I'm thinking about all of you right now. I miss Canada. I miss our group.

Love you guys!

I can't believe its been a week since we got back. Sometimes it feels like its been so much longer and sometimes it feels we just left a place we came to call home. I do not throw around the term "home" loosely. To me home is a place where I feel comfortable and know I can trust those around me. Despite only being there for 9 days, Delta was home. I trusted the group I went with and everyone at the church was more welcoming than I could have imagined. We were strangers but we were considered family. That is by far my favorite aspect of traveling. When I can see that God working everywhere I go, it makes me so much more passionate about letting others see how great God is. Last week I learned so much about God and who I want to be. Visiting with Amy gave me such inspiration to be strong and trust God because no matter the risk taken I will be taken care of. Moving to North Carolina is somewhat frightening but I have no doubt I will be taken care of in more ways than I could even ask. You never know where you'll end up when God is the one guiding you and the adventure of that is so exciting. If I knew where I was going in life what fun would that be? I've wanted to post for a few days now and I haven't had the time, or haven't made the time, but I wanted to let everyone, who I am expecting to see this, know I'm praying for you and hope to get updates on how life is going for you. And I'd like to ask for prayers for my studying. I take the next part of the CPA test in 12 days, I need to trust God that I have the capacity to study and the focus on the material without losing focus on Him. I'd really appreciate that! I miss all of you and the ones I am fortunate enough to see everyday, my day is truly blessed by you. Have a wonderful day!!

Reflecting on last week

Last week in Vancouver was a blessing for all 14 of us who traveled together. It's been a week since we left Canada. It has even been a week since I have seen some of the members of our team.

This week has been difficult. I really have been fighting routine this week. It was nice being out of it for a while in Vancouver. I'm almost back in it. Today helped a lot. I had been planning since the beginning of February not to do anything today. Besides a jog around the apartment complex, dinner and watching "The Holiday" for the third time, I just relaxed.

Although this week has been difficult, God blessed me Thursday night. Me and three of my friends went to the Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman and Louie Giglio concert/worship service in Little Rock.

Matt Redman sang a song I hadn't paid much attention to until Thursday night. Let these words motivate you to be a part of a Dancing Generation.

Your mercy taught us how to dance
To celebrate with all we have
And we'll dance to thank You for mercy

Your glory taught us how to shout
To lift Your name in all the earth
And we'll shout to the praise of Your glory

It's the overflow
Of a forgiven soul
And now we've seen You, God
Our hearts cannot stay silent

And we'll be a dancing generation
Dancing because of Your great mercy, Lord
Your great mercy, Lord
And we'll be a shouting generation
Shouting because of Your great glory, Lord
Your great glory, Lord

I miss Canada!

Things I miss about Canada:
1. Late night chats with Mae.
2. Cruising around town in a minivan.
3. Making at least 2 U-turns a day!
4. Sitting on the floor of a living room singing my heart out with 20-something other people.
5. Getting to see 13 of the greatest people on a daily basis.
6. The AMAZING cooks of the Delta congregation.
7. The rain ;)
8. Our morning devotionals.
9. "eh"
10. Seeing God's love at work through the members of the Delta church.
