I will go

"Where you lead me Lord,
I will follow
Where you lead me Lord,
I will go"
these are lyrics of one of my favorite songs. I've been singing since I was in grade school. Unfortunately, I do not think people always grasp what they are saying. These simple words have power. God is waiting to lead you, as long as you listen. In our society, it's all about fulfilling our dreams, and wants-but after you've done all that I'm sure no one would be satisfied. God is ready for you to surrender, and give Him control. He could lead you to a new job, state, city, or even a world away. See where God leads you in your daily life. You'd be surprised what you've been missing.

God lead me to Monterrey this summer. I can only imagine what He has in store for me there.I'm feeling quite sick, and if everyone could pray for my immediate healing. That'd be fabulous. Much love. MEXICO TOMORROW(:

Packing

The packing has begun and the pile is huge. I can't believe I will no longer be in America in two weeks. This is my first time packing for being away so long, and this is my first time being away for a month. It's exciting, but also nerve wracking.

I'm completely distracted however, by my aunt and uncle's house. My family and I have put on a little "home makeover." He have had over 50 volunteers come show up over the past week to help out. We have literally restored there house. Every room has been painted. The kitchen has been redone. New plumbing, and new electric. The trees have been trimmed, and the backyard has gone from a jungle to looking more like a park. The floors are being refurbished. It has been amazing to show them God's love in such a practical way. God kept putting "radically bless" in my mind, which I believe is exactly what were doing. The project is not finished yet, we still have to put the house back together. If your free this Sunday, please come be a part of what God is doing in Cincinnati!

Off to make some more visits, then continue this packing!

13 days(:

30 Days

Well, it seems like I started counting down in October to go to Mexico. 30 days left in the USA. It is very close. I have two finals, and two more papers due then I'll be done with my first year of college. Pretty excited about becoming a sophomore! Prom was this weekend. Lovely Night.

Please be praying for me, as I prepare for Mexico. Also, please pray for my heart when I come back. God has put a lot on it, and it just doesn't seem fair. Why do some children live in slums, while I live here in America? God gave me the chance to stand up for Mexico this past week, in class on a paper about Mexifornia, and illegal immgration. I defended Mexicans, and Mexican-Americans. I ended up with a grade of 100% and am exempt from the final. It would have been easier to agree with the books opinion, but instead I stood up for what I believed in even though it could of hurt my grade.

God is showing me more and more ways to be a light in this world.

Love to you all. 30 days.
