| well....i am moving back to IHOP in KC to join the night watch. call me crazy. lol. it is creeping up on me now. there is a lot to do, and now i am behind b/c of some unexpected circumstances--such as getting a minor surgery, helping out at the church where there is need, being out of the country and all over, and a computer that is having trouble. poor little computer...she needs serious help! lol. but now i can hopefully focus my full attention on the tasks before me. :)
i am excited to see what the lord has in store for the next season. this seems to be one long season of transition, but it is exciting just the same. i am fully dependant on god in so many ways right now. i guess that is the best place to be. i am always dependant on him, but it is good to really feel just how dependant i am, you know? anyway, i am beginning to talk in circles, i think that i just need to go back to bed for a bit. silly wisdom teeth....or the lack there of.
i have to say that i miss you One thingers terribly. for some reason it hit me last night again how much i miss you all. i couldn't sleep b/c i kept thinking about all of the memories. lol. it made me want to laugh and cry all at the same time. it is amazing all that can happen in 6 monthes. i am just happy to have been a part of it. thank you jesus. :) | | |
| ok, here`s the deal. i am back from kansas city, but am presently
in bosnia for a few weeks. then i will be home for about a month.
around august 20th, i will be moving back to kansas city for another 6
monthes or so. there it is.
why move back to KC? well it is hard to explain, except that i
believe that God is not done with me there yet. God started a deep work
in me, and i feel like i need another season of being hidden away, and
joining the night watch. I do not, by any means, believe that KC is the
only place that God can work, but that is where he has me right now. i
never expected to be staying, but it has been confirmed in several
ways, and i want to be where ever it is that my heart can grow the
most. right now that looks like a place called IHOP, though that
will not always be the case. i don`t believe that this is a long-term
move, but another season. we will see what God has after that.
life is so sureal right now. i
feel like my life is in two completely different worlds. it is
really weird to go back and forth between the two. i am really
glad to see people in fredericksburg!! that has been great.
however, i also terribly miss people from KC--half of whom i may never
see again or won`t for a long time, at least. why did i pic friends
from england, canada, texas, and california. oh well.
it is funny because i feel like i am almost in a grieveing process, and
yet in other areas i have cause to celebrate. i guess that is
normal when one sweet season ends, and another begins. nothing is
super clear, but the lord`s leadership has never been more trustworthy.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not Want.

| coming home soon!!!
i am kind of freaked out that the internship is over, and i am going
to be back in f-burg in 3 days!!! i am going to miss people here so
rediculously much...and they happen to be scattered all over the
country. sick! i am looking forward to seeing the
fredericksburgians though--namely esther! :)
pray that my emotions don't go crazy, through the week..... or at least more than they already have. heh....oh the drama. :) | | |
| i am always at a loss for words when i sit down to blog. how do i even begin to articulate my life??? i guess that i will start with the bigger news.
it looks like i may be staying here in Kansas city a little longer then expected afterall. i am still not sure, but i may need some more time here. this is hared however, considering it will be like starting all over again after the internship is over. i will be needing to meet new people, find new roomates, and still be diligent...w/o the strong accountability of being checked in and out of everything etc. that last part is perhaps the scariest. as of right now it looks like i would go home in a month for about a month or so, and then i would return for about six more monthes. scary, but exciting just the same. let's just say god has i sense of humor. "god is his own interpreter, and he will make it plain." plans may change, but as of right now, that looks like my near future.
so i have a beautiful new niece, whom most of you have seen before i have. i find that very unfair! sick! and and my friends are pairing off, and i am missing that....though considering the fact that i am very single, and it looks like i will be for a while, it may be better this way. ;) hehe. things are beginning to roll w/ that house of prayer, and dylan in the mean time has become a regular ol' bradshaw, but may be leaving too now. my poor mom guys, please love on her for me! oh and jason has now graduated...and probably others too, i just can't think of them now. steph p is now in mexico. chris, being the genius he always is, has accomplished the impossible ;) ....is there any other interesting news? please tell me. i like to at least pretend that i am still apart of the fredericksburg life.
i miss the mountains!!!!! or at least hills....or something. i miss dancing! i miss the steinway grand piano at the church, i miss chathem, i miss my family and my beautiful friends, and i miss my cats. but i do love it here. it has been a wonderful experience, to say the least. thank you jesus for this opportunity!
jesus, teach me to know you rightly, that i might love you rightly. give me eternal perspective, that the temporal things would not cloud my vision, but that i would set my mind on things above, above the fog of confusion. jesus, increase my hunger and love for you, and teach me true humillity. these are my treasures for they are the currency of heaven.

| I am getting BAPTIZED!
it's a long story, but i am excited!
thank you jesus. he has totally been setting me up for the over the past few weeks. it kind of freaks me out how things are finally falling into place...i am finally starting to understand some of the things that the lord has been doing and surfacing. wow.
an outward demonstration of an inward grace. | | |

Who am I....?

i love to dance....especially when i am really free from the knowledge that others may be watching. i love music...though i know that i am lacking much in that area. i love beautiful days that remind me of the master artist...my creator who never makes a mistake--this is where i must place my hope and identity. he is kind in all of his deeds....whether they appear to be so or not. he is the master artist. i wish i were so many things...but most of all.... i wish i were more motivated to passionately persue god with my all. that is my deepest failure,for in that place, alone, is my truest joy. however, i am a normal person who likes to have fun, and enjoy life--by no means am a christian who has it all together...i am quite the opposite. but that is the beauty of it, i don't have to be perfect. i strive to be more like Christ and his garce is there for when i fail. :)
