| Life in general... even without being in the military is just so hard. We can say, too easy when we prepare but actions do speak louder than words. Then when it comes time to auctually do it, we choke, we fall, we mess it up. I don't know why we do because we have it all planned out in our heads perfectly, right??? I don't know but.. too many times I tell myself, I am not going to do this, I am better than that. I will not act that way, it is childish.. whatever. We are humans and we need to admit we are humans.
So, today was the first day in a loooong time I went to church. And even though I was a half an hour late, I got so much out of it. The pastor was talking about 1 john 1:1-5 and it was totally God screaming at me to get it together... he is totally right. I LOVE CHURCH!!! IT is so convicting.. and lifts me up alll at the same time. Its wonderful. :0)

I still can;t believe i am in the army and I have never felt so home sick in my whole life.. I AM NEVER HOMESICK!! but yeah anyway... I loove the friends I made here. It is hard being a christian but never have I felt so strong in my faith. maby because I was at a christian college I let my guard down. but here its like..... I don't know... my battles come to me for everything and I love being that support for them. I love the fact that they can come to a person who knows where they can find comfort. Its just great! | | |
| My last entry! I am very excited and pumped and ready to go off to boot camp!!!
It may seem like I am going off in a different direction, but I am confident this is EXACTLY where God wants me to be.
The only verse that pops out in my mind is Isiah 40:31
Those who wait on the Lord, shall renew thier strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shal walk and not be faint.
Be praying for me because there is a mission field out there, and a light needs to be shining for them to look to!

| So.... It is the countdown..... 4 more days left and then I am off!!! God is so amazing isn't he???
ok.. an awesome story here....
on my way home I sat next to this elderly lady named teena... and she was so freaking awesome!!
We started talking when I finished my devo and she was like... I love ephesians... it is my favorite book! MUSIC TO MY EARS!!! Soon we told each other our life stories and I found out that she is a sign language translator at a grade school and she just got done reading a book about afghanistan and she fell in love with the country. And yeah... we just talked about..... everything and anything and it was so encouraging for me to connect with such an extraordinary women.
well... I am sleepy so, I am going to go to bed now....
Yawn!! | | |
