Just got back from fall retreat with Campus Crusade, and I know stuff like that is always awesome and God totally always shows up, but I'm totally used to being amped up and jumping around and coming back determined to save the world. But the guy who spoke just totally blew me away he was like, I'm not here to get you amped up so on wednesday you can forget everything that we went over, I'm here to equip you so you can do the things you dream of. I seriously feel like I'm glowing right now, everything he said was just so simple but so true I can't even explain it, but I feel like God is totally kissing me right now.
The camp we stayed at was like a place where school camps go but it was really gross, like, 2 out of the 4 toilets were broken, spiders came out of one of the sinks when you turned the tap on, and there were quite large cane spiders everywhere, and the matress finished at like, my knees. But no one really seemed to mind and it was so rad! And we had a bon fire and smores (for those who don't know what smores are, they're these yum biscuits and melted chocolate and toasted marshmellow all in one. SO good!) and on the last morning the boys made us banana pancakes, and it was really just really rad.
I think I want missionary training, I'm totally on a mission with my team and stuff but don't really know where to start, I guess God will totally show me and its all him not me...just kinda want to be more equipped for this amazing adventure that I'm on. Have been focusing on seeing every day as an adventure, have even started ordering other foods than the usual when I eat out, which is huge! But it's fun.
Emily's little sister is here on a school trip, so yesterday when I got back from retreat we took her to this beach that like, no one goes to and there were turtles there and we swam out to them and they got pretty close but she was a bit freaked out coz we were deep and its scary sometimes, so we went back in but she was so stoked it was so cool, I'm so glad I got to share that with her.
Yea, can I just tell you guys how much God's love totally blows me away...like, breathless...Romans 1:20 - for since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernable in and through the things that have been made (His handiworks).
You're God's handiwork, and he shows Himself off through you. Doesn't that rock your world?
peace out everyone, SO much love!

Hello To The World

Hi everyone!
OK so call me lazy but I really want to keep in touch with people from everywhere way better than I am, and no one enjoys the mass emails, so I figure if I do this, then those who are interested can check out whats the haps in my life and where I am and what I'm doing, and then can email me and tell me about you? I duno, we'll see how it goes anyway. But if you email me, I'll totally email you back. Its just way easier to ra on about nothing, if you have something to reply to. Do I make sense?
Anyways, thought I'd try it anyway. Hope everyone is well, and staying cool!
keep in touch,
much love
A : )
