God is Good!!

I really hope this story comes out as amazing it really is. One of the girls here did not yet have all the money that she needed to pay for the lecture phase. It just so happened that her birthday is on Friday. So as a birthday gift someone came up with the idea that the class should take up a offering for her. Before class had actually started we did just that, but Brooke (the leader) did not say who the offering was for, it was just for a missionary going to China. Than this afternoon we revealed to the girl that the offering was for her and told her the amount. It was over $2500!!! And the amazing thing is that there were only about 20 people in the room. That means the average given was over $100 each. And she only needed about $1700. As I think it is in Psalms 23, God not only fills our cup but he overflows it. I just felt really compelled to tell y'all this.

Just thought you would like to see a pic of the whole group.

Sleep!!

So last week sometime a bunch of us girls decided that we wanted to sleep in one of the caves that are out by the cliffs here on base. And guess what Friday was that day. A couple of the guys had found this cave a couple of weeks ago and 4 of them had slept in it the weekend before last. So us girls couldn't let those boys think they were all tough so we said we would do it too. Just to give you an idea of how small this cave is, well there were 7 of us sleeping in it and the 6th and 7th were right at the mouth of the cave, with 4 of us sleeping side by side and for one to move you all had to move with the last sleeping right next to the fire without enough room to lay flat on her back. Well a couple of the guys thought it would be funny to stay out after curfew and scare the girls at 2 in the morning. Well it worked on some of them and 4 went back into the house, but 3 of us braved the elements and stayed out the whole night. Let me just tell you that it is an experience I will remember for the rest of my life. I actually slept pretty good considering we were basically sleeping on rock. But Saturday was the only day that I have taken an afternoon nap!!
I just want to say that the people here are so amazing and we all feel like a big huge family. I am getting so much love and support in all I do, and it is so easy to give out to. So I may be teased for having a funny accent and I say "about" funny, but little do they know that it is really them that talk strange!! Only kidding. Well I love you all and miss some of you. Just kidding miss ya all!! God Bless

This is a pic of me and my small group leader Kassie. She is so amazing and trully has a heart for the Lord. She has helped me a lot and is always willing to talk whenever. O and she also brought me to Target for my first ever visit there! By the way it was amazing.

More Pictures!!

Okay so the next 5 pictures are probably not going to make any sense to anyone but I wanted to show some the super amounts of fun I am having and some of the super people I am with.This is our leader Brooke Gehman. He is a super awesome person! A true man of God.

This is Jesse. We found the carebear in the warehouse we were cleaning out for World Relief.

This is John, he is the guys small group leader. He found the training wheel in the warehouse and decided he needed some help walking. You can never be to safe.

Every one this is Joe. We had to sort out some cloths for World Relief and we fumbled across this wonderful hat and purse he so nicely modeled for me.

This is Lisa. She is so super awesome. She found this magic wand and carried around with her for a while and I decided I needed a picture of her with it. She is also the girl in the other blog with the mullet wig.

Some of the group outside of the Parthenon. No not the one in Greece but the one in downtown Nashville.

This is most of Team Mexico on the way to Nashville.

These two cutie pies are Jason Christian and Gabriella. They are the kids of one of the ladies that is doing the DTS with me. They are the cutest kids ever.

These are some pics of what we Nashville YWAMers like to call the cliffs. It is the most beautiful place on site. It is where the Red River runs.

Pictures

Hey everyone out there in internet land. Things are going super here in Tennessee. It has been pretty cold the last couple of days. And by cold I mean like I can still wear flip flops but my feet get a little chilled. I just though I would give you a little bit of pictures to see what I am up to. If you feel you need an explanation for any of these just feel free to ask. Just for your information. That is not really that girls hair we have wigs on!! I'll tell you later.

CHINA or MEXICO!!

Well our group is going to China and Mexico. As of yet we don't know who is going where but I will keep you all posted. And if you could, could you please pray for me and see where you think God is calling me too. Well I had the most amazing experience of my life the other day. And for some this may seem really weird and out there put I swear to you that is the truth and nothing but the truth. During intersession on Thursday we were waiting to hear from the Lord. And the leader Brooke got an image of Africa and a lion, we than looked around the room and seen the flag of Ethiopia. I than could not get Lauren of my mind and that she had always wanted to go to Ethiopia. We than prayed for her and it was impressed on me that she was to be going there. I than emailed her and she said that they are indefinitely going to Northern Africa. Just for those who don't know Ethiopia is in Northern Africa!!! Ok so it may not sound that amazing to read but to experience it was super amazing. Well I have to go and sleep as we had a long day, and need to wake up for church in the morning. Loves ya!!

I'M HERE!!

Well everyone rest easy I made it to Tennessee in one piece. I almost didn't get into the country, but it worked out in the end. I arrived in Nashville around 1:00 this afternoon, and found the people who were picking me up right away. We had to wait for another girl who was supposed to arrive around 2:30 but her flight got delayed until 3:45. So in between we went to the Opry Mills Mall and had some food (as I hadn't ate since 3:00 that morning). We ended up walking around the mall and than sat and talked for a good couple of hours. Cassidy ( the girl who picked me up) is one of the most nicest people in the world. We got along so well and we had only just met. Her boyfriend Mark was with her and he seems really nice also. Well to tell the truth my group of DTSers are all very nice. Well that is the ones I have met already. There are 16 in our group that is 12 girls and only 4 boys, and of these only about 12 are here today. Well I hope that is enough to please you all. Love ya all.

Ahhhhhh!!

Well it would only be 3 more sleeps as of today until I leave for Tennessee. Let me tell you that I can hardly wait for that day. God is good and has provided everything that I seem to need so this should be most enjoyable. I am writing this blog mostly as someone and I won't name names (you know who you are) has harassed me that there hasn't been anything new for him or her to read. Well this one is for you!! I know it isn't very much but it was from my heart!!
