The joy that You have given me so amazing. I love waking up with You on my mind. This peace surpasses all understanding. Today the lyrics of some pretty amazing songs were stuck in my head (The more i seek you, God of this city and ?). As I sang each song I just wanted to praise you out loud Lord. So that's what I did. I sang out loud (not too loud) as I walked from class to class. I also prayed for people that were around me; I prayed that tehy too would find peace...

I am so grateful for the opportunity that I had to go to Oaxaca, Mexico and serve God's kingdom. It was a very short missions trip (1 week), yet I learned so much. It was different from summer projects because this mission trip with GFM was more people oriented. It focused on serving the people of God and building trust amongst them. It also humbled me because there were times where I really just wanted to go out and share the gospel, but God kept telling me to wait and be patient. He was showing me that He was the one that was in charge of bringing forth the spiritual conversations and it wasn't me that was doing it; but of course along with faith there must be action. God gave me the opportunity to share His gospel through music and it was truly amazing.

I have come back to the U.S. with somewhat of another perspective on reaching out to people. I feel like I have more sense of a balance than I had before. I need to slow down my life and take time to just get to know people and show them that i truly care about them. I am so grateful that God has blessed me; therefore, I want to be a blessing to others. I don't want to keep it all for myself. I want people to experience the joy and the love that I experience and I pray that they will.

good nitght...zzzzzzz......
