Comfortable Cut-Offs.

Oh how one thing can really take you back... For instance it's wearing a cut off for me. I haven't worn one in like two years, and tonight I find myself wearing one feeling quite comfortable in it as well. Wearing one reminds me of volleyball practice in high school as well as FFA and in the summer on the farm. It is turning to fall here pretty quick now and I know at home it is turning spring, one thing I can honestly say I miss is the smell of fresh hay, manure (I know that's weird but it's true!) and the smell of new ideas! It amazes me how doing or wearing one thing can really take you back to certain memories! I love it, I believe that the way society is today that we often forget the simple things that make us really happy or that we "used" to feel comfortable with. It really is simple though! I am finding more and more each day that as seasons come and go, or as the weather changes that we need to live in the here and now. Meaning even in the bible it says don't dwell on yesterday and don't worry abou tomOreos but focus on what God is telling you right now and what he's teaching you! I'm super stoked although a little sad that I am loosing one of my best friends for two months, that God is going to teach me so much and really show me new things. You know that saying "God only gives you what you can handle" well I never understood the full meaning of it until a few days ago and that is: he only reveals certain things at certain times. Because when he reveals them we are ready to hear them and deal with them if needed. Seasons change so quick around here and the turnovers are fast that you do get used to it but you have to be careful to not become numb to the fact that everyone's leaving. I now look at it as we will keep in touch and I have a million friends all over the world that I can connect with when needed. I also love the support system that comes from it! Prayer is such a powerful thing to have and to be apart of! Reading about David (one of my favs) and how he is little but so mighty, God chose him because he had such a heart and he was going hard after Gods! I don't know if I shared this with you already or not but one thing that the south pacific and I guess pacific in general is being called forth into the nations to proclaim the Lords name! We are small but we're mighty! I think that's awesome because I take that on board being who I am and what God has instilled in me to bring to the table. I am so incredibly honored to be apart of this revolution that is taking place amongst us. A little girl from Argyle Wisconsin can make an impact on the nations through being here for all these people is amazing, if I can do it you can do it!!! This is just what's been on my heart lately over the past week or so. So through the struggles we still learn, I had a good catch up with the base leader who is just such a big bro to me, and we said or agreed on the fact that if you are uncomfortable or in a position that you're struggling with then that is good! Because you're growing, we as Christians need to sharpen each other. We really do forget that and focus mores on being good and comfortable rather than sharpening each other. I don't care if you're 16 or 80 we have a responsibility to one another to holdeach other up and accountable in a godly way. You could be the pastor of a church, a cook, a teacher, a farmer, a waitress numerous things but really we are all children in Gods eyes and he loves all the same. But as a sister to all you I want to do my part in upholding you in prayer and support, to tell you the hard things and come alongside you to work through what you're going through. To maintain that standard in the church and say, you are my family and I love you. The church I attend here is amazing I must admit because it is holy spirit lead and it really has that family atmosphere to it. Granted I do miss good ole Martintown with the way something's are done. Like greeting th people wound you Anne how much that one does feel at home. I also love the fact that although I'm 10,000 miles away from home this church has taken me in and given me the support of familyness and how so far can feel so close to home. So it is 1am on Saturday morning and I need to sleep. Goodnight!!!
