So I haven't written in a while. I suppose that it is time to have a melting pot of my thoughts because I have a lot of them recently.
First off, tomorrow is Hello Kitty's birthday and we all understand how much I love hello kitty, so happy birthday to her.
Secondly, I am so happy to be back home. I had a wonderful time in California, but I love being at home with my family and back into the familiar routine of my normal life. I have started to look for jobs everywhere and I have put my resume out and filled out applications like crazy. I have also been filling out scholarship applications and deciding what I am going to do next semester.
When I am not looking for a job, I listen to a lot of music and watch a lot of crime shows, because that's how I roll. I currently love the songs Just Give Me a Reason, Marry Me by Jason Derulo (and everything by him pretty much lol) I really like the show Police Women of any and every city and I like shows about game wardens. I really live a terribly exciting life.
I do not think that there is a whole lot that I want to say tonight. I am busy, but at the same time I have a ton of time to myself. I really am enjoying this time in my life. I am ready for what God has for me in the future though. I also started a new blog! Which I will be updating next! I pray this post finds you well and that you are living in happiness and the love of Christ.

California BABY!!!! and other news about my life
So I figured that it is time to update my wonderful readers! I am leaving for California in 2 days!! I fly out on Thursday and I come back the following Friday! I am beyond excited for my trip! It gave me something to look forward to after this bummer of a summer. But I won't talk any more about that, because I have bigger news!!
After hearing a lot of different suggestions about which YWAM I should look into and after praying about it, I have finally picked a location! In the Spring of 2015, I will be traveling down to Kauai, Hawaii for YWAM's Discipleship Training School. This specific location if focused on Mercy and Evangelism, which are two of my biggest Spiritual gifts. This location also goes overseas to help organizations who deal with prostitution recovery and human trafficking. It literally has everything I was looking for! Now begins the process of raising money for everything. I will be gone for 7 months and with fees and everything, I will need about $8000. Its a crazy amount, but God called me to this, and I know that He will provide.
In other news, I am doing okay with recovery. My pain has spiked back up again, which is not good, but it is all a part of the process. I have been hopeful these past few weeks about what God has in store for me and where He is leading me. I am eager to begin my adult life!

Worship Music and Wednesday night thoughts
I really enjoy worship music. I love the lyrical way that a picture is painted. That picture so beautifully reflects who Christ is.
When I was younger, we would sing the song Better Is One Day. The chorus says: Better is one day in Your courts, better is one day in Your house, better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. And in my little 8 year old mind, I thought that the words didn't make sense. I thought that there could be nothing greater than spending a thousand days at Disneyland. The song never made sense to me until I sang it a few years ago and I was overwhelmed by how true those words were. I cannot imagine being in the presence of the Lord for even a few moments. There would be nothing in this world that could compare to that.
I feel like my life has been void of powerful encounters with God lately. Last year I went to chapel three times a week, and some Tuesday nights I would go to a church service, and I went to church on Sundays. Almost everyday I had the opportunity to worship with a community of believers. I am not saying that I can't worship now on my own, but there is something so powerful that happens when you are singing praises to the Creator of the World surrounded by your friends and family. It is in that time that I can clearly see the face of God and I can hear His words and I can feel His presence. I miss that so much. I miss the wonderful experience of worshiping with other believers.
I am still unsure how God is going to use me, but I have no doubt that it is going to be soon, and I know that it is going to be in ways that I can't imagine. And until that day comes, I am going to do what Elsa the Honduran woman told me to do and I am going to worship him, worship him, worship him.
