Inspire

it's funny, sometimes I have so much to blog about, but then I sit here, and I can't seem to get past the first line.

Today I got an email from Pedro, that was all about mexico. I am really excited about it. This year has really lead me to think more and more about missions. It seems like the whole year was based around missions. I was supposed to go on a missions trip, but it fell through. But even that taught me something about Missions. Nothing is ever concrete. We have to rely 100% on God, and not ever assume that our plans are going to work out. I think that if I had to talk about the single most important thing that I've learned this year, that it's in relation to God's will. We may think that we have an idea of what God wants for us, and we may make plans that we think reflect them, but in the end, only God knows whats up! That didn't sound as profound as I wanted it to.. But I think you get me, right?
Anyways - back to talking about mexico - cause I had something I just wanted to say about it. When I get those emails, and Pete mentions me by name, talking about how Im still in calgary or whateves, it makes me feel so good! Not cause he mentions my name, but because I feel like I'm part of the team. Even tho I couldnt go to the meetings so far, I am still a part of the team, and It makes me so excited. I hope that God has big things planned for me through this trip. Last night I was thinking for a long time, picturing the people and the children, and the view, and I'm just so happy. I want to See God in so many ways, and just thinking about the ways he will reveal himself to me is .... amazing.... I cant even imagine how good it will actually be.. Of course, I dont need to be in Mexico for God to reveal himself to me, but I think that something special will happen on this trip.

Anyways ... I think that I wanted to talk about more in this blog, but for real, I just can't seem to write as of right now.. I am moving in two days.. In 44 hours, my bus will be heading out of Calgary, into the foothills of the rocky mountians, and homeward. I am really excited. I will miss my friends from here, but I am ready to see my family and friends. I'd like to think that I will be going back to the way things were, but I know that eight months away changes things. It changes relationships, it changes people and it even changes places. Things are going to be different when I get home, but still it will be familliar. And It will be home..


I'm a get it my way, that's all I wanna do
I'm reaching for the skyline, where dreams come true
If you came here to party, that's all I wanna do
Just reach for the skyline where dreams come true
