God's story

I have got far behind on this blogging thing.
Well since I updated last I have started two new jobs both dealing with special need people of some sort. I have doing assistance living type of thing and being a sub para in rogersville. This is defiantly where God wants me right now.  I have also reapplied and been back accepted to MSU for this summer and next year. I am going to go back and finish my special ed and maybe get a masters. I will get culinary done some time, it's just not where God wants me right now.

Over presidents day weekend Will and I went on our first missions trip together. We went to Oklahoma with the group that I do bible study will. It was alot of fun. Both of us have a heart for missions and have been on several trips just not together. It was alot of fun getting to share the experience together.



Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

And then......... Wedding planning!  I offically have a planning book which is amazing. We still odn't for sure have a date or a place but should soon. We have a few more places to look at but pretty well know where we will end up! So exciting. My mom came down last week to go look at a few places  with me and get a few little things planned. Oh and meet my maid of honor! Which is doing an amzaing job may i mention. Things I would never think of she is on top of.






I am super excited for what God has been doing and is doing in my life and Will's. I love that he made us for each other and that it is crazy how we both had a "list" made years ago and we fit each others to a T.

That is all for now.
What is God doing in your life?

Breathing and on U.S. soil.....Day 17

Rough Rough start today! The shot was sure in full kick! Can I say flying and being drugged up is not fun!!!! Little to say I slept a good 3-4 hours on our 8 hr flight! But I did get Starbucks in the mix! God had an amazing plane this whole trip. We all know I open up to no one. Well Aaron and me have kinda just clicked with all the shots, yes that means I have opened up! Asthma may have sucked but there is always a reason. Pretty much the last 2 hours we have been like middle schoolers passing notes on the plain but it was worth it! The convo of trusting God and just hearing how God works in both of our lifes is amazing. And all this wouldn't have happened if I wouldn't have had asthma attacks. As Aaron said on my first shot " we can bond by a board game or something better. Faking asthma attacks is a rough way of doing so." lol God knew what he had in store rather I liked shots or not, it built an awesome relationship that I don't see leaving any time soon. As for now I am ready to hit Chicago and turn on my phone to call Will   not ready to ready to reenter the world of life, that way my phone can stay off! I made it back to U.S. soil breathing!!!!! The Joke the whole trip!

Aaron and me...you can tell we really like each other
I don't know who is laughing more in this picture

Good bye Africa...Day 16

Last morning here in Africa! :( Today has literately been a blur. We went to church this morning with Mitchell. It started at 9ish and lasted until about 11-11:30 that is what you call a church service. They are so interscholastic here! I wish people at home would have the joy for the Lord like the Africans do here! It is like at home going to church is just something people do one Sunday mornings to check off their list. Here the people sow ant to be at church and dance and sing and just shut out to the lord! After church we went to a French restaurant . It was So GOOD! Except for the fact they smoke inside and my asthma just loved it! Which just lead to one even after the next and wouldn't you know ended with another shot! yes 5 in 17 days lucky me! My asthma just couldn't wait until I got back to the U.S. soil. once again another reaction. Then we did a debreife about what happened in each village and loaded the bus! A few long term missionary made all of us dinner before we left. Which was amazing. Sweet tea! and Cold! so good! Then it was off to the air port. Dear Lord they need a better system, no way are you getting out of there illegally. They check your passport 4-5 times in the amount of 5 feet. Then you put your bags through the scanner wait for your bus to go to the plain and oh wait get our bags searched again and you scanned again before getting on the bus. Seriously! there is a better system. As for now we are officially on the way out of here! It was surreal coming now surreal leaving! On top of this all i just don't feel good, so I am ready to sleep off part of this shot!
