3 days til takeoff...

I went to the Rangers game tonight with some friends... sort of a going-away party, of sorts. It was fun hanging out with everyone "one last time".
This morning it hit me that I'm leaving Fort Worth in three days. Wow. I'm so ready, but then again, not really. I've been thinking a lot about the past two years that I've spent here... places I spent time, people I built relationships with, all that sappy sentimental stuff. It's been good to reflect though. I did a lot of things wrong and a lot of things right. No regrets here. It has been an incredible, unforgettable time where I have learned and gained so much.
I'm going to miss ya'll

The beginning of the end (of this chapter)

Today was my last sunday at deer creek... I love that church! It's been so good to be a part of that community for the past year. I had the opportunity to speak this morning and share what God did in and through me while I was in Kenya. We sang this song, and it describes my heart so perfectly right now. (The picture is Ellie, me, Suzanne, Becky, and Lily- the girls from my Life Group.... we miss you Susan and Riley!!)

To the Ends of the Earth --
Hillsong Music Australia
Love unfailing, Overtaking my heart
You take me in
Finding peace again, Fear is lost in all You are
And I would give the world to tell You're story
Cause I know that You've called me, I know that You've called me
I've lost myself for good within Your promise
I won't hide it- I won't hide it
Jesus, I believe in You And I would go to the ends of the earth,
To the ends of the earth, For You alone are the Son of God
And all the world will see That You are God You are God.

It's sad that the goodbyes are already beginning, but I'm so excited about all that is to come. I have no idea what God has in store for me, except that He's promised that it's better than anything I can imagine.

Refine me, Lord, and make me useful.

Trial run

I have no idea what exactly I'm doing right now. Jason told me tonight, "you need to get a blog." I've looked at a couple of friends' and it looks like a cool way to let people know what's up with me, but I should have titled my page "Technological Idiot" because, like I said, I have no clue what I'm doing.
