The Start of my Immersion in Idaho

Today was a really great day and I am SO glad I was able to hang out with my grandmother.

Today, we went to a Bible Study. Great study. It was about the garbage and baggage we carry with us...

It reall made me think about all the stuff in my life that is really holding me back from being the Christian I was meant to be...

Sunday, I went to church with my great-aunt (my grandma's sister) Bev. I had a really great time. And even though I have only been to one church here, it could be the place where I worship... I am praying to God to see if this is the church...

God Bless you!

On my own.....

My parents left this morning around 10am (Mountain Time)...I stood out in front and waved until I could no longer see them.

I didn't cry until about 2pm...I decided to work nonstop and when I took a break I cried. It's so hard to think about it right now...I miss my family so much already and I saw them this morning....this is going to be harder than I thought.

Thank you SO much for your prayers, if you weren't praying I would have been crying all day.


I love you mom, dad and Cara!!

First Post From Idaho

Wow...this is it. Doing what I am called to do.
It's all surreal right now.
I feel awesome.
I feel excited.
I feel a sense of accomplishment.
I feel a sense of uncertainty...
I feel like shaking...

But God is SO GOOD!

GOD, give me the strength to continue to do this, even when I hit that brick wall...I know it is coming. Let me bounce off the wall and over it. In Jesus' name. Amen.


And I wanted to thank you to those who are reading this blog, thank you for your prayers, love, support and send-off.

God Bless you guys!

Last Blog from California

Okay, this day is kinda weird. As a good friend of mine, Tim, says "Bittersweet." I finally understand what that means...

I can't believe that it's finally here! I've been talking about this since senior year of high school and I am finally doing it after 4 years! GOD IS SO GOOD!

Well, here we go! (Off to finish packing the rest of my clothes, then off to get plenty of rest. I drive tomorrow....)

God Bless you!

It's been a while

Boy, I need to get a better handle on this blogging thing, or I am going to be scaring a lot of people when they see I haven't posted in awhile....(do I see a practical joke coming up?.......)

So, I am almost packed. Too bad I can't bring more up there, but I will survive with just the basic necessities (ie. clothes, bathroom stuff, school stuff, and a few recreational stuff (ie. scooter, skateboard, dartboard))

This is definately going to be the hardest thing I have ever done, but I know that it will also be the most spiritually rewarding. :) And I know God sustains me, so I'm going to be doing A LOT of prayer and talking to God...my grandma will think I am crazy o_O

Anyway, thanks to everyone who has and will be praying for me and my new adventure.

And YES: I AM GOING TO MISS EVERYONE FROM CALIFORNIA!!

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!
