....that has been my life the last few days....packing...sneezing....sneezing...rereading old journals (lol, oh, MY WORD)...packing...craziness.
aiight. Anyone ever takin' a shuttle before? So, like, I'm moving my life out to SoCal, only for me to be the most terrified of TAKING A SHUTTLE FROM THE AIRPORT TO DEAN'S HOUSE....OH MY WORD! Yeah, um, that's it. Like, what if I get stranded at LAX? Plus, I do not have a cell phone...etc. etc. I know, I KNOW...the Lord keeps reminding me that HE is in charge. And that's He's in charge of the weather. I keep getting terrified that like, there's gonna be a major storm in ME or PA...and I'll get stranded!! BUT IT'S ALL IN HIS CONTROL!
anyways...my dad is waiting in the car....and it's winter...and I'm at the library. Did you all know that? anyways, peace, out kids. thanks for the comments!

OH, MY WORD!!
SO, IT DEFINITELY TOOK OVER AN HOUR TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT THAT STINKIN' LIL' PIC OF ME IN THAT STINKIN' LIL CORNER YO'!
There, I got it out. For those of you that wanted to see the pics of my new "do", there you go. For you girls...I can style my hair quite a few different ways: my friend Alison did this one. For those of you that were scared, "See: it's not that bad!"
well...I go "home home" tomorrow. So that'll be weird, but it's good. Get to go see my friend Matt (alison's bro) play ball tonight...I'm so excited!! It's been so long since I've been to a game!! Ever excited me!

A PREVIOUS SUBJECT.
Now, I know that I've brought this up before, but I just wanted to see all of your guys' view on this: Christians that swear.
Now, here's my thing: You can stand there and tell me that words are just words (yet Jehovah says to not take His name in vain), and that it's just a cultural thing. But is it really? What is in our hearts flows out thru our lips. And that, my friend, is scripture also. Even in the secular world, swearing is considered ill-mannered in respectable situations...so why is that Christians sometimes swear--or even make it a lifestyle?
Now, when I was younger, I used to have a problem with swearing. But I always knew that it was wrong, and it truly was always coming from the pit of me. IT WAS IN MY HEART!! Anger, bitterness.....I'm humble enough to admit that...Now, Philippians 4:8 tells us to THINK and MEDITATE on that which is pure, lovely, admirable, HONORABLE, etc...is swearing that? The answer is clearly NO!!
And, which reminds me, why are we as Christians so afraid of that verse? I remember not liking that verse, even just a few years ago, because I thought it meant that I would be bored every day of my life. But is that not how our Enemy works? Thinking that the Christian life is boring? Like, many believe that heaven is just going to be us on clouds, playing the harp--but O! How it WON'T be so!! Heaven will be a party! A feast! Each of us having new names....the Word tells us that heaven is BEYOND our comprehension!! Oh my word, I'm rambling...
well, that's that. And hey: i'm 99% sure that I'll have an apartment a few weeks after I'm there!! (I just have to save money for me to move in!)
hey: comment, eh?

LIKE THE NEW LOOK?
Like the new look? I do!! I discovered it today!!
Have a great book for ya'll to read: "Seizing Your Divine Moment", by Erwin Raphael McManus. It's an awesome book. He uses Scripture to show us how the Lord's will for us is not for us to just sit around and wait for His voice necessarily, and to wait for Him to make choices for us!! We are the choice makers!! It's amazing!!
(Hey Erin, did you notice I added you to my links? love ya' girlfriend! And am praying for you!)
Ahh...so I got to talk with my friend Omar on the phone yesterday....it was GREAT! And then my friend Josh called...and then today I talked with my girl Alison!! I've never talked to so many people on the phone in that short of time! Craziness!! Such a girl I am...
Missing tour a little. Not the exhaustion: not the sandwiches, and not even the performing: just missin' some of my peeps. "Abba, thank You sooooo much for being so amazing and bringing such people into my life. May I be as humble and as much of an encouragement to them as they are to me. Amen."
Did I ever mention how much I love prayer? Talking with the Only, Almight Jehovah, and Jesus...and Holy Spirit (all at once!) is just incredible!!

IT'S OFFICIAL.
IT'S OFFICIAL:
On January 2nd (or thereabout), I will be flying to California on a one-way ticket...following the Lord's path with an office job w/the Continentals. I was interviewed at about 2 am your time...and accepted the job. I am unsure as to which job I will have, but I will know by next Tuesday, at the latest, I believe.
Tour was amazing. Fiji made my trip. I know I already said that: but it did. It just sort of "brought everything to light" for me.
Though there was a period of time filled with spiritual attacks and depression, the Lord was with me and saw me through. Though there were times of pride and selfishness, the Lord rebuked and saw me through. Through the times of sweet, pure laughter and innocence, the Lord was with me and smiled with me. Though I am scared beyond belief of my life for the next two years: the Lord is with me and will see me through. I am convinced that He has even more in store for me by following His leading to Cali. I am excited. Wow. This is my life....a little girl who used to get homesick just 20 min. away from home, to LW in Maine, to New Hampshire, New York, Bible School, PEI, Canada, to 22 states, New Zealand and Fiji, to Cali....but more than this. The Lord has allowed me to "glimpse eternity"
...May He show me more. "I love you Lord, and pray to always be amazed when speaking of You, and talking with You."

ALMOST OVER....
WELL, it's hard to believe that it's over in about 48 hours. We'll leave for the airport at about 3 or 4 in the morning.....yeah, that's what I was thinking. But actually, the last night, we don't go to bed. You stay up all night to enjoy the last few hours with each other, so that's really exciting.
so, sorry to disappoint you jonny, but not too many exciting stories. We did a lot of driving, and performing...but we did see quite a bit of "RINGS" stuff, so that was cool....which reminds me:0)
FIJI....now that was amazing. For the first time in my life, I told the Lord that I would be a full time missionary if He wanted me to be. Awesome, eh? I don't know if that's where the Lord is taking me, but we'll see.
So, I still haven't been interviewed with the Continentals yet:), but I should be soon. This is what I really want to do guys...even though it may take me far away. Please pray that the Lord's will will be done though!!
