haha,
Africa is near, less than a week away. Right now we are just prepping for what is to come. New team, different terrain, but same heart. I did learn a lot in Mexico, and not to sound like I used Mexico as a practice run, but I do believe it was preparation for when I go to Africa. I am just asking God to keep me ready. I remembered I use to pray this all the time, "God prepare me, help me to always be ready.", and I kind of let that pray in those words lay low for a little while. But I remembered that today... and that should always be my prayer. I want to be used, I want to be chosen, called... but I will have to be ready and prepared to do so, even though if I may feel inadequate.
hm...
Choosing to live fully alive I am..
Today in dance practice... I got this very quick idea to want to learn how to back flip.. I had a friend spot me because I have never done one off the ground before... Well I went up.. annnddd then I went down, on my head.! hahahaha. Ohhh, quick decisions are needed to be made wisely. No worries though.. just a stiff neck tomorrow. haha...
...
Its going to be a beautiful week... till then.

I can't believe its already Friday. This week has been flying by.! Tonight, spent some good time with the team painting. I got half my face painted white and the other black... Jon Licon said, "Go Raiders.!" ha... I wish you all back at home in Florida could meet him, he is hilarious and enjoyable man to be around.! Paint in your eye brow is not a very comfortable feeling. We spent quality time throwing paint on each other than we did the room.! I really had the intention to not get any paint on me at all. That is like a goal of mine when I paint, to not get any paint on me, come out clean and paint-less. Not the case here, I got more paint on me than the wall did. haha.. not true, but sure did spend a while cleaning it off.
... God is forever faithful, and in these past few days he has really been at work within us. The encouragement my soul has been getting and the love, I am so thankful for. Tears of joy are shed along with a full heart. Thank you for all of your prayers. I pray the love of Christ to come into your lives and that you will never be the same. Don't wait on him to be captivated, search him out and go be captivated. He has so much to offer, more than you think or know. There is no lid for living a life for Christ. Its an endless journey, a beautiful journey.
One thing I am learning right now is to be extremely thankful and content with the people that I am around. The ones who are constantly in your life. No matter if they are close or just a lovely acquaintance, God has placed them across your path for a reason as he placed you for them across their path. Especially the people you will know just for a season... engage into the beauty of friendship, there is so much to gain from it.
Its raining hard. I enjoy a night rain.. Sleep well everyone. Be blessed.!
