Daughter of the King
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
In 1.5 weeks I am going back to Mexico for 2 months!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, let me expand on the topic. Crazyness. Simply Crazyness. I can not believe the things God has done for me, and that this is actually happening. He is good, he is faithful, and he is funny. So last Thursday and Friday I had pretty rough evenings. I was so tired, confused and frustrated. I had been planning to go to Mexico this spring break for visit. I had been missing that place and those people so much I figured this is the only way i will see them again. So yeah I got a job. (which is a cool story by the way, and I posted it in my last blog post) And the job itself isn't why I was frustrated (though it has it's part in why I was tired). I don't know, I just had been planning and nothing was working out. And I missed everyone so much, and I don't know. So Friday evening I had been talking to a really good friend of mine (via Facebook) and she reminded me that I need to make sure that it's God who wants me in Mexico not me who wants me in Mexico. And it is a hard but true statement. So that evening I prayed to God and I said that I trusted him that if he wanted me in Mexico he would get me there, and that if not, I will be content here. And the rest of that evening and next day I was so content. I thought a lot about Mexico but I was still so content. Then after work the next day, I find out that Patty's parents had ran into my parents, and that they had talked a while and that they had offered me that I come live with them. They are leaving for Mexico in a week and a half and said that I could come along. WHAT?! I am so blown away and excited. God is so good. And it's funny because it is so soon. And I barely have time to tell anyone. Last time I had 4 or 5 months to warn people. Sorry guys, now I only have just over a week.

Cool story. Well you know I had posted that I was going job searching last Tuesday Morning. Here's what happened, I woke up and my cousin texted me offering me a job. I didn't even have to go searching!! Haha, God is so funny. And I'll admit though, the job isn't necessarily the most fun. But if you choose to have a positive attitude it actually can be pretty fun. Today I actually had a ton of fun, and laughed a lot. And I work with some lovely people as well.
And yeah, I don't have much else to say. Oh, well I am saving up to go visit Mexico this spring break. Prayer for that would be great. Not only for the money, but all the planning that is involved. And thank you that you keep reading my blog. It means a ton. Hey everyone, it's been a while so I thought I should update you guys a little bit. Honestly lately I haven't been up to much. I've been spending most of my time practicing my spanish, and learning spanish songs. And I've been preparing for sharing in youth this wednesday. Tomorrow I am going job searching, so prayer for that would be lovely. Also a little while ago my brother got married. That was truly a really fun day. And my wish did come true. You see, I always hope something goes wrong. You know, so there is something to laugh at. And something did go wrong, and of course it happened to me and Josh (my fellow candlelighter). Let's just say that it took especially long to light those candles and the whole audience ended up laughing by the end. And yeah, it was fun though. I enjoyed it. And I am not sure what else to say. Well, I've had a lot of time to think the past while because I've spent the majority of it at home. And I can not stop thinking about Mexico. I honestly don't know what to do!! Everyone asks me "what are you going to do next?". And I don't know! Good thing that God has a fantastic plan even though i can't see it. and also I have been filled with a ton of thankfulness lately. Thankfulness for the people I met, the experience I had, and the friends that I will now have for the rest of eternity. Let me get some of "I MISS these people" out. Because yeah, I miss them! I miss this kid!! I miss these kids!! I miss my MAPS!!!!!
Hola Everyone! It's definitely been a while. I have only been home for 24 days, but it sure feels like I've been home forever! (ok, not forever. Just a lot longer than 24 days) And how could I describe my first few days back? With one word, weird. It felt so incredibly weird to be back home. Everyone, and everything was exactly the same. It kind of felt like in those movies where they magically go to another world. and have a big adventure, and then they come back to find the time hasn't even changed one minute.
It has been good to be home, Christmas was a blast. My family gatherings were a blast as usual. And it's been good to be in my home again. But I can't help but miss Mexico so much. I can't help but miss Patty so much. And Hank! I miss Melissa a ton to, but she lives in Winkler, and I will get to see her in a few days. (And I am so excited just so you know!) But yeah, it's weird, because I lived three months with so many awesome people, then one day I don't see any of them, ever. And it doesn't help that some of my last days there were some of the best days. I remember this one day, I went to Agua y Mas with Amanda and I spent pretty much the entire time with this one kid. He was 6 years old and the sweetest thing ever. It was so much fun, I remember we played rock paper scissors for probably over half an hour and it was the funnest thing. He also made me count to 100 for him in english, then he made me count to 37, then to 30, then to 35. Then he tried to communicate with me in Spanish, and I actually understood some of it!! And I even could reply to him!!! :) (not very well though) And yeah, I had a ton of fun with this kid that day. And what stinks is, this was the last day I was able to go to Agua y Mas! I felt so incredibly sad walking out of that building that day. I was so pumped also because it was a blast, but then I was super sad because I knew I wasn't going to be able to see them for quite a while. (I have been a mix of emotions for the longest time) It seems like I got super close to everyone right before I left. On the plus side! The coolest thing happened!! Ok, so you know about the Spanish church right? The one I love and have often talked about. Well, the first time I ever went to that church in September we sang this one song, I think I may have even posted that song in an earlier blog post. Anyways, I loved that song, I listened to it all the time, and every single sunday from then on I hoped they would sing it again. And Sunday after Sunday, they never sang that song again. They sang other songs that I loved, but never that one. I had already given up hope that I'd ever be able to join in and sing that song with them. (The first time I wouldn't have been able to sing along because they wouldn't have had the screens set up.) But then 3 months later, Dec 8 guess what. All of a sudden I hear the intro to the song (It is very distinct, I knew that it was the song 2 seconds in) And I can not help but smile the entire time. Thank you Jesus so much, I still can't believe that he had them play that song for my last Sunday in Mexico. It was definitely no coincidence. And I am super tired right now, so thank you for reading if you still are. I find that this is a good way to lay out my thoughts, so even if nobody was reading it still would help me. :P Thanks again! Good night! |
