"Rise and follow me, I'll make you worthy. Rise and follow me....I'll make you fishers of men." --Christie Jennings

Ya'll, if ya'll haven't heard this song....whoa! I love it!!! Right now, I'm still waiting for classes to start, and I can't wait! Tonight at dinner, I found myself eating with people from all over the world! Not one was from the states! I loved it! It amazed me, because one of the people at this table was from a country I've never even heard before, and I can't even remember what it was called! And even though I know that I gotta go through this time of learning and growing with God...all I wanna do is be out there in Asia! Hummmmm...I can't wait for then!
And ya'll, can I just say that God is AWESOME!! He's already opened up two doors for two different roomates of mine! To hear their stories and them open up! I love that God would chose to work through me! I LOVE IT!! I love being here for these girls, and then them turning around and wanting to help and love on me in my times of need and comfort! Having Jesus work through them, to tell me what I need to hear! I love being here, even though I get homesick! And missing all my friends and family! (And I mean it..I miss and love every single one of you guys!) But thank ya'll so much for being willing enough and loving me enough to let me go for this long...to spend time with my Lover...and my God!! Ya'll today He told me 1) I was beautiful, 2) He loved me...not just loved me....but LOVES me! and 3) that I have a beautiful heart because of him! That I really do, as much as I doubt it sometimes, I really have hope in Him and that I do love Him! I'm so excited for what He's up to! Not only in my life, not only in the life of the girls in my room or the people on this campus, not only for what He's going to do in Asia or any of these countries that He's taking us too, but also for all of ya'll lives! I'm excited for it all!!!
But anyways ya'll! I love ya'll tons! And I'll talk to ya'll soon! Take care, and write, call, or just even send me a message! ;)
......"I will praise you Lord my God, even in my brokeness, I will praise you Lord. I will praise you Lord my God, Even in my desperation, I will praise you Lord......My life is in your hands, and though I can not see you I choose to trust you. Even when I my heart is torn, I will praise you Lord. Even when I feel desertated(sp), I will praise you Lord. Even in the darkest valley, I will praise you Lord. And when my world is shatered(sp) and it seems like all hope is gone, yet I will praise you Lord...I will trust you Lord my God, even in my loneliness I will trust you Lord. I will trust you Lord my God, even when I can not hear you, I will trust you Lord...I will not forget that you hung on a cross, Lord you bleed and died for me. And if I have to suffer I know that you've been there and that you're here now..." --(yet another great song by..)Christie Jennings
