Change is right around the Corner

Man It has been a crazy two weeks! I have been working with a performing arts camp here in Nashville. Where we teach kids to sing and dance....at the same time lol! Then at the end of the week, they put on a performance for their family and friends! I got to Peer lead with some awesome kids. Some of them had been effected by the flood that Happen in Nashville a little over 2 and half months ago. Total over the whole two weeks, it was fun!
But in the back of my mind, I have been figuring out all these things that are in need of getting done before I travel back up to the great North East!
In case You haven't heard, I am going to do some traning up in Lebanon PA. Its with YWAM and its 3 months long, and then Ill be right back here in Nashville. The training will not only better my knowledge for now, but for the long run. My vision and goal is to take everything I learn from here, and use it one day down the road. The training is going to be focused around counseling. Let me tell you, Im pretty excited! I love LOVE being around people, but helping them, gives me so much more joy. I say this to some you a lot, but right now, where I am, the direction I am headed, I wouldn't trade it for all the money in the world. The Lord has been so faithful for every step, and I continue to follow where He leads.
I am heading up in a week from Thursday, and Ill be at Come Alive on Sunday, and then Ill be around Lumberton for a week, before I head up to school. So if you are around and want to meet up and hang out, Im there!
(This is the base, where I'll be living for 3 months!)
Please- Continue to pray for everything! My travels, finances, for my heart and mind to learn to be open to learn more, and for whatever else the Lord may lead you to pray!

Matty!

I was going to write about what I have been doing this past few weeks here in Nashville, but I couldn't help but put that off for another day. I was talking to my brother a couple days ago and he just got home from Haiti! I know that I have yet to hear all the crazy stories that has gone on, and all the things God did. But I know that God showed up. I have been praying for Him for so long, and that the Lord would do something crazy in His life. 

After talking to him, He wants to go back to Haiti! I am a missionary, not just to my home but to the world around me. I know the Lord has called me to short term missions, with a focus on America, and restoring these generations to go out and impact other nations. 

Well if this isnt the most prime way of doing it! My Little brother is going to go! Weather it be Haiti or Africa, or Mexico, the Lord has gotton ahold of him!

If you think people aren't watching what your doing, ask Matt, I know the Lord used my obednice to bring Him into a new place!

Matt, and the Whole team, I am proud of you guys! For sticking in and raising the money you needed to go on this trip! Im proud of the fact that you gave up 10 days of your life, to go serve others. Im proud that you are running after the Lord and all that He has for you!

You guys make me proud! Matty! I love you and if ever forget Im proud of you, and where your letting the Lord take you!

Put your bags down and stay a while...

Man, it's so beyond words amazing to be home. From moving for the past two months overseas, and then coming home moving, and then flying to one side of the US to the other side in the the matter 3 months...woo Im so excited to just be stopped! Im back now in the Great State of TN! I got in later monday night, and headed home. I slept in a bed, that I could actually sleep in!! Woo!

Anyway, before I get lost in all that, Home in Jersey was soo good. I really do hate leaving that place and all the amazing people up there. But While I was home,  I got to see so many people, and meet new people, hang out with my family which was much needed! I got to go to the zoo! (pics to come). Sunday I got to hang out with a friend who was just arriving in NJ, we cooked dinner for my family and my mom helped! I being the smart one that I am, I bought shake and bake for pork, when we were eating chicken, so Stacy called it Porken. props! I made a cake with icing that said NJ, it came out good, I would say! Who knew I could cook?!

Anyway, Here I am back in TN, Im working in back in the recruting office. Ill be here for a little over two weeks. Next week my family is coming for the first time in 3 years to visit me! Woo, then I'm working with a performing arts camp in Nashville. 

Im excited, I miss working with Kids, and I like that it will be for a fun short time!

After that...is still waiting to be told so, keep your eyes open!

This is Home.

Its funny how a house that looks so big, seems so small when your trying to get space lol. With 7 bedrooms, you would think you could hide away for a little bit, but nope lol. 

Random starter note, but now onward, today was a crazy uneventful day. Spent a lot of the day thinking, woo, and then time with my family. I like watching my siblings grow up, I like growing up, when we can go out and have fun and thats just it. I sat on the window sill with my mom today and we just talked about life, and laughed at the fact that shes not funny. But so funny at the same moment.  Then, Like a good big sister, I ran my brother around, and helped get ready to go to Haiti, and head off to creation tomorrow. 

And for my favorite part of the night, I was blessed to hang out with Nikki! I love coming to Jersey, catching up with friends, and especially ones that have been part of my life for so long. Who understand even when I don't explain it very well. But we had time to hang out, catch up, and talk about what Im doing, she's doing, so forth! 

Jersey, thank you for such a welcome home, I am blessed to call you "home"

Coast to Coast

O the wedding! It was amazing, Matt and Erin deserve nothing but that! The weather was amazing, the wedding was beautiful, it was nice to be around lots of unknown people. The wedding was at a ranch, and It was defiantly Matt and Erin touched. It wasn't a wedding that looked nothing like them but really their likes and personalities really came out! It is such a blessings to be part of a day like that! To have been a leader in Erin's DTS and co leading with Matt, to being in their wedding, wow! The things that I am learning through them have been amazing, and I am blessed to call these two my friends! Let the Lord bless them, and keep us close no matter where we end up!
Home, How much I love New Jersey! I got in really late last night, and was greeted by my brother and sister in law! And I thought I was done moving, but nope, I moved upstairs in the house which has more pros then con's. Packing and moving stuff up there, made me realize how much I hate throwing things out. Jesus, Please teach me to get rid of stuff!! But its not just random stuff, its old school books, and well I guess it is. Maybe ill just throw it all out...who knows! 

So anyway now that Im home, today is a chill day and tomorrow will start the chaos of meeting with people, working on newsletters, and figure out what's next. Im only here for 10 days so little time. Let's get it started and see what happens! 

Let the adventure begin!
