Finally! ~ ><> ~

The centrifigal forces of school and chruch and homework ( not to mention my mother and her never-ending list of chores) have made it a bit hard to post. but thanks to the genius of Amanda, here I am posting. The Atlanta trip was Amazing and somewhat Life- altering. Its amazing to see that even homeless people who have nothing are more important than me. And the amazing girls and leaders i went down there with could not have served their Heavenly father in a more perfect way. Pictures will be coming soon and soon after that pictures of prom. I'm going with Tiffany burkett to Mishawaka's senior prom. Hilary and I decided to memorize Galatians so i'm working on that and its cool to have God's word racing through your head all day!!! I have little time to take a shower or even just relax and I have been slipping in my schoolwork but i am just getting back into the swing of things after spring break and Atlanta. the next 4 1/2 weeks i'm gunna have to bust butt to get things done.. Most of all though I feel Good...I feel i'm right where God wants me to be. In some places im still struggling but God is helping me sort them out !! I hope that your all doing Well and i cant wait to hear from you or see you!!

Someday we'll realize
All we ever wanted was
a chance to live our lives
A chance to learn and Love
If it all comes crashing down
young girl just dont give up
Put your faith in jesus
trust him to lift you up

GOD SIGHTING

Last Saturday I sent my support letters out.. now last year i didn't send any support letters becuase i already had all the money i needed, So im quite new to this. Well yesterday my aunt calls my mom and was all excited about something and my mom had no idea what it was. So my aunt told her. She had just recieved my support letter in the mail and was almost moved to tears. Which is a God thing all in itself because my letters were good just not great.Yet the amazing thing was that yesterday in the mail she only got two envelopes. obviously one was my support letter, the other : her Tax check. If that isn't a God thing i don't know what is. I've always heard the stories of people always getting their money by an act of God but i never experienced it myself so I was excited but not too excited. Now I've first hand seen a miracle.

8 hours til' we leave for Ga. Im so excited I found out one of the girls in my eagles nest is going on the trip.. i have to pack and take a shower and do laundry. I'll write more when i get back...

If you've already read my xanga there's no need in reading the top part of this post (read the bottom though)...If you're Amanda be forewarned there ARE grammatical errors...my writing is usually very erroneous!!!

Only 2 more days until i get to go be gangsta and bring the light of Jesus into the lives of the homeless....All down in the ATL..with some AMAZING...thats right some Extraordinary middle school girls...

Last Friday we had a meeting for all the girls going on the trip..There we made "goodie" bags for all the kids...and "survival" bags for all the Adults...Were going to hand them out to the homeless on Friday night when were hanging out with Kurt Solerino and his church on the street ministry...And oh my goodness you should have seen these girls...we couldn't make bags fast enough...we couldn't get anything organized fast enough...and the two tables we had set out for all the "goodies" they were supposed to bring turned into three... These girls that we're going with have such awesome hearts.... before we started our meeting and started putting the bags together we all prayed...And I really think that these girls are going to be changed by this trip... because for them it's not going to be about a weekend...it's not going to be about them going to Georgia for the first time or the 5th...It's going to be about changing a homeless persons life...or learning under the teaching of Lori Solerino...it's going to become a life style...

Some of these girls had been at the church all day...Making easter baskets for the kids at the battered womens shelter...They have the heart of a servant..and Christ if definatly already living through them

~*~*~*wait even if you havent read a single word of this entire post READ THIS*~*~*~

Last night was probably one of the Coolest missions meetings i have ever been to in my entire time of being...We went to the retirement home across the street from the church with no inkling of what we were about to do...then for a little over an hour and a half we sat and talked to the "residents"...I could call them "old people"...yet after talking to them last night...they all have the hearts of a teenager..alot of them got to telling stories and it seemed like it wasn't them anymore it was their inner teenage being speaking through them..Ellen the 87 year old woman with Alzheimers i got acquainted with couldn't remember that she had ate dinner...yet she remembered that her mother came across the pacific in search of new life when she was 21 probably some 110 years ago. She remembered that she minored in French..yet remembered none of the langauge except for the fact that it was very peotic. She remembered her childhood growing up in Chicago and jumping off navy peir at a time when it was legal to jump off navy peir...And all she wanted was her freedom...she wanted to be let out of that place and fight once again for womens rights. She taught me alot in the short time that we were together...and Although i was a bit intimidated at first..then a bit reluctant to go talk to ellen because she was sitting by herself...I really enjoyed thinking of her as "more important than me"...Although she was Alone and didn't have very many friends or remember any of the people she knew...She was still more important than me and my fears...

And that ladies and gentlemen is my VERY*very*very long post.
