:)

OKAYYYYYYYYYYYYY So i thought i would start with some exciting news :D i think i will be able to make it to the jakarta service. my mom said i could drive her car, since she will say yes to anything that has to do with church and i requested it off about a month ago and we got some new people at the convenient stores of speedway so i should be able to attend. AH HEE HEE. anyway ummm my week has been uneventful, i've been slacking on running so when i do it's HARD..uhhhh. also my friends and i might go to chicago next week so that will be fun even though i need to be saving more money haha. oh well. i already shared this with carol but u had a dream that school started again and i absolutely hated it..i don't know where that came from.

anyway....so im continuing with romans chapter 12. there are SO many great verses here. ones about everyone being one unit under christ, others about following God and not the world. but there is one verse in particular that is SUPER DUPER relevant to my life. 6. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.

I am really struggling right now with what i should do with my life... i feel like i have little direction and no time...i've really tried to pray but i grow impatient.....maybe i should fast or something.....goll im so lazy. But for real, i feel like i really need to make a list of what im good and what i feel like God has placed in my heart to do for others. I think i have a start but im not really sure and at this point im rambling...sorry this isnt profound or anything....itz just on me mind.

    ditto lizz's comment, YAY i might get to see you soon! in like... a week? i think? hahaha.

    and about the spiritual gifts thing, i think i understand how you feel, because i'm often frustrated and impatient to find out what God wants me to do for my future. everything is so open right now i was half jokingly telling my friend today that for all i know i could end up in australia. the thing i have to keep reminding myself though is that as I seek God's will, i know that he has a perfect plan for me, a plan to prosper me and to give me hope and a future. he's not out to destroy me or to get me. its to make me PROPSER. and i also have to keep reminding myself that God will answer in his perfect time and in his perfect way, and not when i want it and how i want it. and he also understands deadlines - as in, it would be nice if i knew by the time i graduated, and i just have to keep trusting that he will have told me by the time i need to know the answer :) i'm totally preaching to the choir here >< this is something i really struggle with too. sometimes i just really really want to know NOW. hahahah
