I can't exactly describe just how excited I am for this coming month.

I'm leaving Monday (one week from today) with a month long missions and discipleship team know as the Band of Survivors. I will be participating in worship, prayer walks, a biblical study of the book of Exodus, cell groups, open airs, service projects, community outreach, etc. And we will be praying A LOT! 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be specific. We're taking shifts in our own 24/7 prayer campaign. I'm extremely excited. Glory to God for all his wonderful blessings!

I feel like my entire life is back on a upward slope. I graduated highschool finally, my family is well, my relationship with Ceamona is better than I ever thought anything could be; and Jesus is the first thought on my mind when I wake up in the morning. It's beautiful really. For everything I've lost in the past year, I've gained so much more. I still feel a certain hurt for the people whom I love and care for still. . . but I suppose that's life. Men can make plans in their hearts, but only God knows what will happen. It's weird to be in that place. I had a really sad thought the other day: I realized that if I were to get married tomorrow, I don't really have anyone to ask to be in my wedding. I mean, I understand that that is a pretty silly thing to think about, but you just always assume that your best friends will be there at a time like that. Or at least you always assume that you'll have best friends. Haha. I don't know, everything's pretty funny when you put it in perspective though. I honestly can't complain.

I wish anyone who reads this the best!
