I can't believe there's are only 6 weeks before we depart for Africa for 2 and a half months!
Can I just tell you how amazing my God is?
literally, two saturdays ago, i was on the verge of a breakdown because of how stressed out i was about this trip, and my overworking, and a bunch of things, and now, this past saturday, I was given time to just CHILL. what?! I didn't even know what that word meant for a while! Also, God has continually brought money to me for the trip, almost $1K in a week... WHAT?!
This is just nuts. God is just so good.
last night, Shad spoke about an issue that was SOOO hard pressed for me for a long time.
The imperfection of people. The goodness and compassion of Christ on the cross, and God for putting him there, and the Holy Spirit for staying with us.
It just blows my mind.
There's no way I could ever be worthy of that, but for some reason, God continues to transform me into the Christ he loves so much, and sees THAT redemptive quality in me; Christs' blood flowing through my veins, and Christ standing infront of me, arms outstretched, saying "take me, not her"
I literally just got chills.
Abba, thank you. Thank you, thank you thank you.
You are too good to me. Please let me give you every moment of this day.
It's yours. I love you, and I want to do nothing but just that. Let everyone around me feel, see, touch, know you.
I love you. I want you. I need you.
In Christs' name, Amen.

It's Time!
This weekend is LOOONG past due, and very much anticipated.
I'm not complaining in the least, because I love my life and work as though I'm working for God, but I haven't had a day off in about 6 months... and that's just wrong. It's literally unbiblical.
I haven't had any time to just sit and rest and do nothing. I have gotten sick, and I have worked through my sickness, which sucks, i know.
Anyways, about 3 weeks back, i requested this entire weekend off, so I can do nothing. lol. Sounds funny, but its true.
I'm escaping everything or two days, to do nothing. And I'm going to love it, because I think I deserve it..
I'm going to Asheville, NC. I wanted to go to the beach, but this is the beginning of spring break, so all hotels and things were booked up.
I used to go to Asheville with my mom and family back in the day, so I know how beautiful it is.
I'm just going to enjoy some time... with me.
And I'm so excited! :)
I'll have plenty of time to blog, so don't worry!! :)
As of right now, I'm about to jump in the shower and get ready for another long day, working both jobs, a 12 hour shift basically. lol.
And I'm off.

AFRIKA!
Yes, it's official. I'm going to AFRICA! Tanzania, and Kenya to be specific.
and.i'm.pumped.
I've been involved with Revolution Church since it's launch on August 18, 2009. The church didn't intend on sending anyone out on mission trips for another year or so, then one Tuesday night (the church meets at a quaint little coffee shop - Inman Perk - in Gainseville, GA on Tuesday nights if you ever wanted to drop by. 7pm. kthx) our lead pastor, Shad Treadaway, said that we were going to AFRICA.
WHAT?!
As soon as he mentioned it, the entire room lit up. As soon as he said there were limited spaces for INTERNS, I knew in my spirit that I was supposed to make one of those spots my home. :)
Guess what. God did!
I'm going to Nairobi, Kenya and Moshi, Tanzania for two and a half months this summer, to work in orphanages, churches and schools, doing whatever is needed of me... and I can hardly sit still because I'm so excited.
My only issue, which is the issue 99% of the time, is my finances. Which, I'm not freaking out about, because there's really no reason to "freak out."
I know that if God divinely placed me on this trip, then I'm going to be there. I have to do my part though, and I have been. I've sent out letters, and emails and made phone calls and I'm partly in charge of fund raising for the group in its entirety, and I'm still coming up short, but it's only a way that God's going to show his glory and sovereignty and amazingness that much more, because I can NOT do this on my own.
God's been doing some crazy things inside me... tottttttttttttttally cleaning house, moving furniture, renovating. it's awesome, but so weird, and uncomfortable, but so good. Who better to redecorate and renovate than the one making my heart his home?
