I Am Blessed!

I'm sitting here at the airport in Denver waiting to go home for a few days to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. And I started to think, I am so blessed!
I could never have I imagined or planned this journey God has taken me on the last 2 months, but it's been amazing!
God has really taught me and brought me through so much! I have seen His love in amazing new ways! He has shown me how forgiving and gracious He is. How powerful He is. How He is always with me and always working in and through me if I'll just let Him. He has taught me what it truely means to love the people around you. And He has brought me some amazing new friends that have grown along with me!
But the best part is that I know He's not done with me yet and that He'll never be done teaching me. And that's the most exciting thing!
So I sit here, waiting to go home. And I'm excited! I'm excited for this week at home with my family and friends. I'm excited to come back to Denver and finshed this school. I'm excited for Thailand and all the amazing things I know the Lord is going to do there. And I'm excited for whatever's after that. Even though I don't know what it is yet I know without a shadow of a doubt that it will be good and amazing, because with the Lord everything is an exciting adventure!

Snow, Outreach Prep & Home!

Week 7 just ended. I know I said it before but my time here has gone by so fast!

It's been cold here this week. It went from a high of 75 degrees last Sunday to being somewhere around -5 degrees most of the day on Tuesday! Crazy!

Sooooo, it's been a week with lots of snow, hot chocolate, sitting by the fire and even listening to a few Christmas songs! ;)


We've been busy with outreach prep this week. We've learned about giving testimonies and learned a bunch of skits and dramas for performing while in Thailand. It's been so fun and we've learned a lot about working together as a team! It's been a good week!


Thanksgiving is also coming up and I'm able to go home for a few days over Thanksgiving weekend. So, I'm starting to get super excited to go home and see my family and everyone!

Then I'll head back here and we'll have about a week and a half left that we'll have classes and finish preparing for outreach. And then we'll head to Thailand!

Have a blessed Sunday!
