Last week, me and a couple team mates dyed some of our hair purple, kinda freaked them all out when they came upstairs seeing big thick purple eyebrows. Wasn’t too soon that the whole house busted out laughing.
Something I’ve never tried before obviously was eyebrows. Heck yeah I’m gonna try it. So i did, can’t lie the first day or 2 was pretty rough, didn’t like it. Now of course that’s its fading i love it. Ahhh… life. ya start liking it just as it goes away.
SOOO.
That day that i never thought would ever happen, happens…. your socks just come flying off. (jk)
As of this last week I became fully funded!!!!
I didn’t know till today since i was at a 5 day debrief getting to rest, have fun, and deepen relationships all around at the beautiful beach of Monterrico, Guatemala.
:)))
Can’t even begin to tell you how thankful and blessed i feel to have so many people who’ve poured into my life financially, and all the things. You guys really reallly rock.
I know I haven’t been very prompt at giving updates on my life here in Guatemala City, though it has been challenging and busy, and I don’t find myself to be the best writer and to love it… so please bear with me. 😉
Every week here has been a new step in the right direction not only for what were doing here, but for everything going on inside of me, too.
God has taken me from one level to another in the right timing and in the best place on earth.
Guatemala City, Mixco, Guatemala. Working with Street Revolution, alongside my sugar plum-team mates, Claire, Lucretia, Darby, Mafer, Shelbie and Baylee. and my personal favourite ~ JESUS.
I’ve lived in a large family my whole life, people leaving, coming and running around. I’d say I’m pretty used to it. hah. NOT.
In a way i am, in another? Completely not. These people are not my blood-family. These people are my NEW family. And I can tell you right now, this new family of mine was, without a shadow of doubt, handpicked by God.
They’re teaching me how to live reliant on God for acceptance, love, rest, and everyday little things that mean so much to me, to know that God cares about the little things makes me happy, happy, happy.
Their teaching me a new way of living a life of family, to respect, to care, to love deeply, and to be loved deeply, to enjoy, to sing louder, to communicate with love, to feedback, to follow up, to simply live IN community.
God is definitely tearing down and rebuilding the idea of family to me every week that I’ve been here.
It’s no easy task growing spirituallyemotionally on the world race. Your definitely not comfortable, its hard, real, but soon worth it.
One thing I’m learning is to let God be the one to tell me who i am. And to forget and let those lies i once believed and ingrained in me, fall away and live out who God sees me as. FEARLESS.
I am Fearless. I am Special. I am Beautiful. I am Funny. I am Worth it. I am made this way, different, lovely. I am Valuable. I have a voice.
I am Whole. I am Divergent. I am, because HE already sees me this way. It’s a matter of seeing myself as God sees me.
And that my friends is what’s going on inside of me.
this is what happened the other day… (monterrico, guatemala.) 
Pictures and stories will follow soon.
For now? Much love, love, love and peace and joy to you on this day. <3
