the last week...
I am back. I was in Mexico on a missions' trip with a couple churches from Colorado Springs. Amazing ppl. We built a 16' * 16' house for a family of 5. We also finished a bathhouse and an outdoor eating area that has a roof, no walls...I also learned how to drywall! Yay for new skills. We went to Tecate, in Baja California. It was super fun and I have to say hanging out with the Harris fam was a BLAST! They are so fun. I got back Tuesday afternoon after quite an interesting return. I had planned to come home (I just called MBC home...) on Monday night, but all the tickets were sold out...no dice. So I bought a ticket to leave from the Springs instead and went back with the Harris (mom and sister Anna...both so cute!) ladies. We stopped at Jamba Juice and than to Walmart to purchase some good for supper. Hmmm...pizza and double choc chip cookies...than we rolled in the street and "yelled" "I'm a big burrito the kind you like to eato!" It was so fun and, yeah it was lots of fun. I hope to go hiking or camping with them when I move to Denver in the fall. So great is God. He gave me a wonderful week and a renewed passion. Though my mind moves a thousand miles an hour. I have a lot weighing on my mind. Something in particular I have been addressed with that requires a closeness with Jesus that I am always excited to engage in. I am really tired and will mop the gym tonight. Tomorrow is skate night. It will be fun. Do you ever not want to be where you are, yet love it? Ever wonder if what you're doing really counts for eternity, when alot of times, it just doesn't feel like it? I have some hefty decisions to make by the weekend really. A visit to the Art Institute of Colorado in Denver has given me excitement and peace about attending there, confirming that is where God wants me. However the 11-week program I want to go into won't be covered by financial aid b/c it's not for a degree, I would have to take out another loan. However, if I decide to, I can go into the AA for Baking and Pastry and be covered by financial aid. I think that would be ok, but that means no MBC next summer and possibly no Mexico in March next year. Sadness. I have given this to God and know He will let me know, but also b/c specialty school now require that if you are under 24, you must file under parents for FAFSA, me momma will be getting a call. I think I still am pretty homesick, plus I left a bunch of ppl I became good friends with, sadness again. I miss my mom. My dad scared me the other day, he texted me something like, "What did you hear from Laureen?" I was like, he's engaged. He's not, but I haven't even met her yet. Truth? I don't want to. I'm not even sure why. I just don't. I'll probably meet her in June when I attend one of my friend's weddings, well I'm friends with both of them. Anyhow, I just went on my old college groups' new site, man it's pretty sweet. www.STUFT.org it's pretty rockin'. I miss them too. I miss worshipping with them. They started this Friday night college worship thing and man, I won't be there. Kinda stinks but I am so so so so so so excited for them! I hope they get some good hipe and attendence shoots high!
Well, I have to go mop the gym now. I was rollar skating earlier and messing around and totally fell on my elbow and shoulder, they're a bit sore right now, but I'll ice when I get home. It's raining right now. I didn't drive. I think I'll have to book it home. Can't wait to call my mom tonight. Pray for decisions if you remember. Miss y'all! Stay tight and if you ever have the opportunity to go on a mission's trip, do it. Well, pray about it, but go. It's so worth it, though I have to really get siked up for work now, but it could be tiredness as well, no worries. I love God so much and He's doing some amazing things in my life. I am so grateful. I am so blessed. I hope I always realize how blessed I am.
