a quick thought

Well, I'm all packed up to go home with Andrew this weekend, and I have a little bit of time, so I figured I'd write this up. The past couple weeks have been super busy with school, mostly, but also with the beginning of raising support. I have my letter written for the most part; it still needs to be perfected, but I'm putting it off for a few days so I can look at it with fresh eyes. I've gotten a good few addresses, but I still need tons more. I have this constant nervousness about it...like, the nerves haven't gone down, but I've gotten used to the nerves, so they don't really affect me as much anymore, I guess. If that makes ANY sense at all. I know God will provide...and my sinfulness is making me expect the worse. Yuck. Sin sucks.

On a brighter note, our Cru band got picked to play at Big Break 2011 in Panama City Beach, FL, the week of March 20-24. It's gonna rule. The leader chose me to roadmap the song lyrics for the slides there, so I'm a part of the band (my dream came true! just kidding...kinda). But anyways, it's gonna be amazing. Our band is so, so good! So praise God for rewarding hard work :)

So, since I'm a part of the band for this, that means I'm going to Big Break. I wasn't planning on going to Big Break this year since I'm going on Project, but...well...that's just how God works, I guess. He puts me where I need to be. It looks like He wants me at Big Break :) So that's cool. He always provides...so why worry about raising support? I didn't even ask him for a way to go to Big Break...He just gave it to me! How much more will He give to those who ask? :) I'm so excited to see what He does in my life!

Hm...other than all of that...school's just been nutty. I'm glad I'm getting away for the weekend...even if it is enemy territory...

Yay! I love going to new places! :D Today at the Bistro, they were serving Philly cheesesteaks as the action station, and I told the man I was going to Philly this weekend...and he said, "Oh, well then you don't want one of these!" Haha! How true, indeed! I'm so excited to try a real Philly cheesesteak! And then I can judge if they're better than Primanti Bros sandwiches.

Perhaps my prejudice will force me to lie.

But anyways...fun!!! I love going on long car rides, too, so this all just works out perfectly. Praise God for all of the awesome opportunities He gives me to explore. He has blessed me so, SO abundantly! Wow. I'm in awe. He's so good.

I'd also like to say that I have an amazing boyfriend. He is such a blessing! :)
