we made it home last night @ about 830p. i slept in today until 1247p....thats more than 12 hours of sleep! i cant believe i slept that long. we have off 2day obviously but it will be used to do laundry...and lots of it! :) i don't have enough patience to sit and tell you guys everything that happened betweent GA and AL but just know that it was amazing and God is definitely more awesome each and every day.
I must say its nice to be home but i do already miss our GA and AL families! :) we start a busy month 2morow. i will update with bits and pieces from the trip as the week goes on...promise! ;)

WE MADE IT!
we made it to Georgia today. we left the church on Thursday afternoon @ 1230p...we arrived @ the house we're staying @ around 1215p today. the bus ride was awesome! we preached and took our scripture tests on the bus which was a "different" experience but its all good. i'm pretty confident this week about my scriptures; which is a plus from the past 2 weeks.
we are staying @ Rory & Michelle's house tonight and then we are going somewhere else to stay for the rest of the week. Michelle is Mrs. Patty's sister and Rory is her husband, he leads worship @ Free Chapel...they live in Gainesville, GA! :)
Anywayz, im just poppin in to say that we made it...i will try to continue updating throughout the week but im not sure if i'll get service everywhere we go. i forgot my camera so pix will not be available from me for this trip ;( last night on the bus i got a total of 4.5 hrs of sleep. i ended up with a bruise on the side of my left leg from the booth bin that my leg was resting against while i "slept."
God moved on that bus last night after we finished our scriptures and we all got something out of it. I am majorly excited for this trip and everything that God is going to do with/through and in us. This is only the beginning.
love you all

hi!
hello blogosphere!!
im sooo sorry it has taken me so long to update (2 weeks!) i've been wicked busy and oh so tired! not to mention i had some issues with my computer that i REALLY don't want to talk about...Missy(my computer) might get upset @ me. ;)
anyways, im still surviving. we're working like crazy on our dramas and stuff because in a few weeks we're supposed to be going to Georgia! (fingers crossed) its not totally definite yet but we're praying it happens. it will be our first ministry trip. we took a trip to Washington D.C. on the 6th and returned on the 13th. we were staffing an event planning seminar type thing. we had a day off on thursday so we went to visit some of the sights. i had been there twice before but it seemed way different this time. we had fun!
the best part about a trip like that was the bus ride! especially the way back; shayna, kim, and i kept PC (Pastor Chad) awake. we laughed a lot...mostly because we were EXTRA tired! we left DC @ 3a and we got home @ about 430ish. only the first years and a select few of the 2nd & 3rd years returned. everyone else stayed in DC to work a show for the Air Force. we missed them so much and when they got home it definitely showed!
we had a weird week this past week...the DC people came home wednesday night before Ignite and then thursday we had off because friday we had to go to Scarborough, ME to help out with a youth event called UNITEmaine. saturday was supposed to be a chill day until about 4p then there was a wedding @ church we were all invited to. then, after the event on friday, PC texted us and said that he wanted us at the church by 830a. none of us knew what we were going to be doing but that didn't matter.
we got there like any other day but this time we were all REALLY curious. we had morning prayer and then PC wanted to talk to us for a bit. it was almost like he was preaching to us but it was mixed with a talk. i almost thought it was odd because there was no introduction as to why but he just started talking and then soon i understood. it almost seemed like he was "all over the place" with the points he was making but they all made sense in a way. it hit me hard!
in order to understand why i just said what i said, let me fill you in. over the past week, ive been feeling a little out of sorts. not so much physically but emotionally and i wasn't sure why. i felt like i had to talk to somebody about the way i was feeling but on the other hand, i had no idea what to say or how to go about it. therefore, i didnt talk to anybody. then my friend told me to take that confusion to God and let Him help me because He already knows how i feel. so i tried as hard as i could to give it over to Him. by the time saturday morning came, i was slowly coming around to understanding myself and what PC said to us was hitting me where i needed it most; my heart!
then last night was the wedding. it was sooo beautiful! (i cried...& i dont cry) the whole set up and ceremony was beautiful and then the party was sooo fun!! Todd took me out to dinner @ this local mexican place and then i came back for the dancing because none of the 1st years were invited to the reception but Ken said he wanted us to come and party w. them...so we did! :) then this morning was church. we showed up by 830a like we do every week for prayer & Jesus totally showed up and set a standard. not only for today's service but for the way we are to go after Him. church was amazing! worship was amazing (i cried-again!) then PJ(Pastor Jeff) preached like it was the last sermon we would ever hear...it was good!
you may have noticed that in some parentheses throughout this blog i mentioned that i cried. to some people that might seem weird and you might be thinking "okay, why would she put that out there?" well, to me, it matters. im not a crying person and most people that know me know that. i have a hard time showing my emotions in front of people...its a weakness thing. but im learning how to "break." im learning how to approach God with a brokenness so that i can let Him work in my heart and life. its gonna be hard but i am soo ready for it!
well, right now i have to study because tomorrow i have my first SAGU test and then this week was already forewarned as being "really busy!" alls i can say is: BRING IT ON! we have to work really hard on some dramas because next weekend we're going to Windham, ME to minister so we have to be on top of out stuff.
before i go, i wanna make a shout out to all my family & friends in PA. i miss and love you all! i may not have time to talk but i just wanted to let you all know that i haven't forgotten about you and that i REALLY do miss all of you! this goes to all of my blood relatives and church family! XOXO
