what's next?

People keep asking what my plans are for after DTS.  The truth is that I don't know.  The options are limitless.  I want to serve God and I want to keep moving forward with Him guiding me.
Right now we're preparing for outreach.  We're planning some skits and a song to share with churches around the world.  We're doing fund raisers at churches in the area to raise money to send out all of the students.
Life is good.  God is good.

Fingal

First off, let me apologize for not keeping up with this blog.  My mom warned me not to post "too much" because the whole world can see what I write and potentially use it against me.  Guess there's good and bad to everything.


I just got back from Fingal.  This is a picture of my good friend Davita getting baptized.  She was baptized at sunrise in the ocean.  It had been raining but the clouds opened up and let the sun shine through.  After the baptism, the clouds covered the sky again.  It was a beautiful sight.  


God has been teaching me so much.  He has washed away my regrets of the past and let me see that life is full of possibilities.  Happiness.  After many long walks on the beach on the "singing sand" I found myself in awe of God's magnificent creation.  The ocean was several shades of blue, teal, tan, clear and the waves splashed in pure white.  The sky was pure cobalt and I couldn't decide what was more beautiful... The sky or the ocean.  


The biggest challenge has been learning to wait on the Lord.  I think I talk too much while praying.  But, there is beauty in stillness.  How does one learn to open her mind to the things of Christ without her own thoughts and emotions crowding the space?
