Running from God is so easy. Its pretty terrifying, actually. I will never understand why I let music, boys, or any other desires of this world completely override my heart and my mind. I signed up for this so I’m going to be completely transparent with all who are keeping up with my blog. I’ve always been so unsatisfied with my life that I feel the need to fabricate it or tweak details to be liked. Or one up people, if you will. And some weeks I am so consistent with reading the Word, and then ill go a month without it and wonder why I’m so easily astrayed. But seeing my squadmates and I fellowship and be silly on a chat we have, it makes me want to be a better person. Not only for God, but for me, my team, and the lives we will be touching for almost a year.

       Its going to be pretty difficult to run from God, and have dry seasons when He is in your face 24/7 and I could not be more excited to be completely drowned in the Holy Spirit. I absolutely can’t wait to be in THAILAND SOUTH AFRICA and NICARAGUA! But I’m more excited to be accompanied by the most amazing people I have ever met. The guys on our team are so funny and they bring so much laughter, and the girls are so sweet and goofy and show me so much love. The Lord has given me one of the most amazing, and silly friends I’ve ever had and I haven’t even met her yet! Sweet Alyssa has shown me so much love and I feel so  myself when talking to her! Its a connection I know only a loving, and caring God could provide. And I am honored to be able to be able to share the love of that same God with His children in other countries.  

              Thanks for reading my super mediocre first blog, God bless!
