So I failed to blog a consistent 40 days.
BUT I mean I'm blogging right now right?
To be fair I was in North Carolina, unable to get to the computer...

Rambling...
I'm learning how to play guitar, let's just say music is not one of my gifts.
I'm also realizing that I am a Jack of many trades, which makes it hard to focus on one thing and become really good at it. In other words I'm good at many things but great at nothing... fail.
I "committed" to eating treats ( chocolate, ice cream, cookies...)only 4 times a week. This may seem like a lot but for someone with the worlds largest sweet tooth it's quite the reduction. I'm also only going to eat out only twice a week. Ugh, I love Chipotle.
I also realized how much importance we put on money theses days. I was inserting my debit card into the gas pump and it dawned on me " this card makes life go round." I really don't like the idea of that. I mean you put it through a shredder and it is destroyed in five seconds. You light a bank vault on fire and POOF it's as if those millions of dollars never existed...
If money is your only goal, I strongly suggest you find a new one...
Tomorrow is going to be a loooong day.

Yearning
I want so much to be a part of what God is doing abroad.
Sometimes doing this everyday "American" life is so hard for me although I know I am used to it and although I know it will probably be difficult to do without.
Still my heart yearns for more. For something greater, for something more adventurous. I want to see God's miracles. I want to see His face. I want to completely, without any doubt experience Him.
I want to be rocked to the core by Grace, and I want His love to bring chills to my spine, I want sit without there being anything to notify me of His presence and know that He is there.
I want to be consumed, no more competition for my attention.
I want to fully immersed in Jesus.
I want to be head over heels in love.

Love
It's so amazing to know in this world where nothing is right there is one who IS. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed by the amount of destruction taking place in the world, but there is one who is STRONGER and he WILL come. He loves us with a love unfathomable. A love we will not receive from someone here on earth. A love that is literally out of this world. One with no faults, no heartache, no struggle. A love that has always been, is, and always will be. He gives us the PERFECT love that we search for. He loves ALL. Literally, EVERYONE, no matter their ethnicity, no matter their religion, no matter their sexual preference, no matter their heart. HE IS LOVE. He wants our love. Every ounce of us, enthralled with Him. He asks for our lives so that we may show HIS love. Because He loves He has given us Grace.
No matter our mess up, He forgives. He is FORGIVNESS. PERFECT forgiveness. Not one which holds on to our wrongdoings but allows them to slip through his Hands, so that He may love use more. Jesus promises to TAKE AWAY our pain. He gives us NEW LIFE. Because of Him we are able to press the redo button. He is NEW LIFE.We are a CLEAN heart through Him. WE ARE NEW. A NEW PERSON. A LOVED PEOPLE. He will walk with us through FIRE. He will fight EVERY BATTLE for us. He will CALM our raging seas. WE ARE NOT ALONE. Ever. Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE for Him and through Him. If God is FOR US, who can be against us? He is HEALER. He is Guardian. He is Love. He is Savior. He is ALL we need.
He is JESUS CHRIST.

Wilson Ramos
Wilson Ramos, catcher for the Washington Nationals was abducted in Venezuela earlier this week.
Which leads me to think who IS safe in this world? If a 24 year old major league baseball player can be abducted, what hope is there for the rest of us?
Why is everything so crazy!?
Ahhhhhhhh!
We should pray him.

Consistency
It's been a while since I have posted...
But lately I have been faced with the fact that I extremely dislike commitment. I'm not consistent in anything either, except maybe Sunday morning services.
I want to try out this new commitment thing, so I will attempt to blog for 40 days straight, maybe this can get the commitment juices flowing.
Day 1:
I really need to learn how to speak Spanish.
I also got the ok to stay at an Orphanage (3-6 months) in Cusco, Peru today. I really am praying that I am able to go!
How exciting! Did I mention I was not doing my homework to blog? Yeaaaaaaah.
Ooops!
