Matthew 28:19-20
"Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

California...shake shake shake
Well, I'm here in Cali and I absolutely love it here! I wouldn't mind this at all next semester! Its crazy because so far on this journey, I learned a lot about myself, my relationship with God, and especially knowing God more. Its been challenging! Learned about patient endurance, being convicted of where I was finding my identity in (friends, boys, how many people I know), and then seeing Jesus as my Lover. You guys, I cannot explain to you how much God has shown me. Its a unique experience that no two people could have. Yes, there are similarities but we all have our own journey with our Lord. God has been so good to me, guys! I'm so unworthy of His grace and love in my life. Its been awesome to share things with my brothers and sisters in Christ to hear what God is doing with them and how we can encourage each other. Linds, I really just freaking commend that girl, my tour partner. She has not gone home since August and boy, has God gotten a hold of her heart! Its been so encouraging to see this girl grow! I could not ask for a better tour partner! I believe God put her in my life to help me with my identity issues! You see guys, so often I look at keeping things of what I have. I don't like change, however, when it comes, I wanna make sure I"m comfortable. Linds and I have been reading about Job. The Lord gives and takes away. With Job, God gave and take away yet Job still praised Him, even when everything was stripped away! That seems so hard, right? If God was to take away all my friends, if He was to take my home, family, job, even telling me I'd be single the rest of my life...would I still praise Him? I want to say I sure hope so! Yes, I want to get married one day! I desire a husband! My dream is to be a wife and a mom and have my house open to people that they will walk into our house and feel the love of God and serving them. That my marriage is not just a blessing, but a tool used to bring people to the kingdom! My husband and I working as Kingdom partners to bring others into His GLORIOUS kingdom! I definitely think God is preparing me for marriage with this job..haha! Linds and I were talking the other day of how important communication is. That is so important in marriage so its like God used us to prepare for that aspect of it! LOL. I'm so thankful for what God is doing in my life. No, its not easy, it sucks at times, but its so worth it in the end! I'm truly thankful for my suffering because I see it produces perseverance and character! Seeing Jesus as my Lover, my Husband, my Living Water, has been such a journey for me, and has been a long road! But more and more and I love on Him, the more and more I grow! Yes, there have been times so far, I just get cranky and I just want to be alone..However, God has shown me grace and mercy through people. I love Jesus so much, guys! I dont want that to come across like all fakey and suck-up-ish, I"m being legit! Jesus has changed my life and still is changing my life. My heart belongs to Him, he truly is the fountain of Life I need to be drinking from!
