So I've been back in the US for like a month now. This summer was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Living overseas, and being part of a different culture is just something that can't quite be expressed. But seriously, it was wonderful and beautiful and God moved and blessed and healed and directed. Hallelujah!

I'm living in Illinois now, with Ceamona's parents while she's at school in the city. I'm attending community college, I start working for the St. Charles' corps after school program next week, and I bought a car two days ago. Things are on "track" you could say. More importantly though, God has been taking these things that he started teaching me so long ago--things he opened my eyes to last summer, things he confirmed and grew this past year, things he stretched and tested this summer, and things now taking deeper root and bearing much fruit in my heart and mind--and he's using them to really shape me and change me. How wonderful, praise him won't you?
