seek & trust God.

last tuesday night was a good night. it was a time full of just me & God. we spent a good hour in a time of worship and prayer, and at the end of the day its what was needed the most. being reminded daily, and sometimes hourly, to surrender everything over. trust Me. trust Me. it's hard, but it's worth it. trust Me. its been embedded into my mind.

Christ has taken care of the past
He is taking care of the present
trust Him to take care of the future...

there are so many days i wish i was back in kenya. i distinctly remember our first day there. we were told that "americans have watches, but kenyans have time." something along the lines of that. nothing was rushed. every day there, i always so super excited to run outside and do my devotions. the nature and weather there is so beautiful, it makes me catch my breath. i miss those days. its not the same doing it inside..or even outside with houston's humidity.

its sucha joy to be able to experience God's grace and love each day. after watching that korean soap 'full house' it left me with a longing of wanting to experience all of that. but watching it also left me with the realization that even through all the love that was shown throughout the soap, cant even possibly compare to how big God's love is for us. stumbling through days blindly sometimes, its a good thing to remember during days that seem really cloudy.

ive come to another realization (not for the first time, but again and again) that God never disappoints. even when the people close to you seem to disappoint, God never does. and at the end of the day, that's what really matters. =) on another note, planning for a workshop for camp about deepening your relationship with God has brought me to a sharp reality and a trip down memory lane of what my relationship with Him is, and how it got to be the way it is today. im excited to see how God is going to lead us in this workshop, and what we have to offer to the youth who want to be in it. im excited to be used!

i remember those days where one-on-ones used to be sucha burden to do. the older i get, the more i enjoy getting to really know the people that i meet. conversations never seem to get old with anyone. im so excited to rekindle friendships that were formed last summer, and even more so, another attempt at bonding, and to see how God worked in each one of those girl's lives, and how He is going to work in their lives once again.

so bring on camp, because i am pumped!

and im excited about this fall semester! its gonna be a busy one, but i'll save that for another post =)

haveaniceday!
