Other then that, been trying to stay busy at my ma's shop today, but seriously u can only fold jeans so many times. I tend to break out in dance every other minute, the best is when people r looking in the window~ u'de think they want to come in:)
But its neat to converse with friends around the world online. I read from my freind david, today he is in sierre Leane gosh i can't spell this> BUt anyways, he's been in missions for a while, and now finds himself in a really challenging situation~ i sorta can relate with him, going to a country(obeying GOd) an being new at everything, while at the same time being harrassed by the spiritual atmosphere, Can really bring you down.

I think this can happen anywhere though-

So whats the answer; for me having people you can share what your going thorugh with to pray with you..or Come to a place of adoring Jesus~ To take your eyes off yourself, an upon your creator the love of you,life, brings so much peace~ in the phillipines i went through this for a breif moment, i wanted to go home:( an became angry at stupid things. While all the time GOd was doing a owkr there an a work in my life~

Through the struggle an pain, and many unanswered ?'s God alowed me to experiance his love in way i've never done before!
I became to realize no matter what God is with me. He began to place very special people in my life, who loved on me an served me. An i thought i was the missionary, lol Thats where missions is wrong, its not always bout serving, but just being obediant to what Jesus says.
I injured my foot an it became almost infected there, i was out for 2wks! an those weeks r the most precios to me in all my trips an places. bc i found a place of rest, in the midst of trials an uncertain~
I couldn't move bc of pain so phiipino missionaries cam in an served me so kindly an giving! i mean they even brought me pizza hut! like what the hec! izza hut i didn't know they had this:)
I asked GOd why I was spose to come to Phillippines, He said i wast you to see the people i love. I know GOd loves every one But somehow, he desired me to see things that were on his heart~ I began to pray for the country while i was down, an prepare for my teaching 2.5wks down the road. I prayed God please let my foot heal at least enough for me to teach. the day i was spose to leave it was all better!

Praise GOd.. I went to another town an taught thessalonians to a bible school, an afterward had a chance to meet the guy who fisrt shared Jesus to me, for he was there too on a short term mission trip!
The crazy part is a couple years ago i prayed to see him, duncan fom England, to let him know it was bc of his testimony, i now come to Christ! I'm like God if thats your will please make it happen..4 yrs ago then 2 years later i'm there!!!!!
the story how i even decided to go there is even more God radicle~ includes me writing philippines an not even knowing i did, an various dreams, on saying philipines 6weeks.. lol Incredible this GOd who loves me and remembers me despite my imperfections~:)

Okay that was alot of blerbering..
So pray for David in SL~! He needs breakthrough, and prayer for Sudan, bc it needs lots of it!
I'm out~!~

God told people in the old testament ot have monuments of remembrance. They used stones, or wells and other random iteams.

I'm realizing that remembering the past it shines more that God has plans n the future! Also by learning from the past you can be more effective in the future.. at least thats what u'de think:)
