  • i am constantly amazed at how much God has blessed me : ]

    this summer has been super so far, and i still thank God every day for the people that he's placed in my life in this season. the awesome thing about slo in the summer is that because theres a smaller group of people around, youre able to get to know people that you might not have talked to much better.

    tonight we had our first aacf summer small group! we had a potluck dinner, ed chow jammed on the guitar, and me and ivan got to share about what God's been doing in our lives. i particularly shared about the loneliness that i experienced in the first four months of australia... yeah, its funny cause i always talk about how cool and fun and exciting and amazing australia was, but not until i reread my journal from those first couple of months did i realize how bad it was back in the beginning. if i could try to relate it to something you would understand... remember those first couple of weeks, or months of college, when you didnt have any friends and everything was awkward and you just wanted to feel comfortable and find your group? well that loneliness... times, 47 i'd say. thats how i felt over there... it was pretty tough. and i remember on my birthday (which alllways is in the beginning of the school year, the transition time) i wrote in my journal: this sucks. i dont like this. i want to be home right now... : ] hehe. God has a funny way of whacking me upside the head to get me to understand things... : ] that time, it was: NAT, you have ME. that's all you need.

    i decided to switch my devo time to the evenings, because its easier than waking up even earlier than 630. hopefully that will work out for me. ill tell you how it goes : ]

    another blessed day... oh plus, praise God for christine dewart and pazookies! mmmm, there goes my running... haha

  • today was a "wake up, nat" day. God was saying that to me. it was a soft rebuke, but completely necessary. and im very thankful for it.

    my biggest fear is getting so lost in it all that i forget why God has placed me here in SLO and i miss out on his plans. i hate it when i let myself get to that point.

    the best kind of friends are those that call you out on your actions. when you know better, and yet you settle. so be a friend please, and call me out on it. thanks.

    a thousand times ive failed, still your mercy remains
    and should i stumble again, im caught in your grace
