loving the blog world...

i love blogging! i think it is because i saw julie and julia the other day with my mom...and i was so inspired by her blog and it reminded me of you've got mail and the email system! so fun! by the way, if ya'll haven't seen julie and julia, you definitely must!
sarah, i will be praying for you. i feel so bad for your situation...but i am SO thankful that you said all of that and that you were honest and transparent in the fact that you are not "great". as ironic as it is, i am most encouraged when people are honest and talk about stinky things going on in their lives and how they are depending upon the Lord. keep me posted on how things are going and especially on your plans for after december. and you and kate both should definitely come to memphis this fall! that would be AMAZING! or we could all meet in nashville one weekend?? that would be so fun too! i am planning on coming to auburn some time... i get a few fridays off from school so i will probably come those weekends...maybe the end of this month and again a couple of times in oct. i will for sure give ya'll a heads up!
kate, i am SO SO excited that you are committed to and loving RUF. WOW!! that is AWESOME. i am so sad i missed out on that my senior year of college :( God has worked in so many amazing ways in that group, it is almost mind-boggling. i can't even put into words how blessed i was by that community. after being back in memphis for a while, there have been times where i have longed for that group of friends and relationships...but those types of longings have led me to the sunday school i am in now and the friends and relationships i have built here since being back. how the Lord works is AWESOME, even though getting to the place He has called us may be absolutely challenging and difficult. about the china thing---that is awesome too!! i have been praying about maybe making a trip to s. korea sometime after i graduate---or even before if time and school permit. i have been wanting to visit one of my old high school teachers, who now lives over there with his family and is a principal at a NICS school there. i want to know more about the culture and the people and about orphanages and how they work.
haha it is totally ok to just have updates! i want to know about ya'lls lives and just hearing about our different situations and roads we are on is encouraging in itself.

OHH ya'll can also be praying for a ministry called "Bloom" i am thinking about getting involved with either this fall or in the spring? it is a women's ministry for girls our age who team up with an older lady at the church and are mentored by them. i am praying the Lord will open up that opportunity for me and allow time in a day to do that. that would be AWESOME.
ALSO---i know we are all super busy, but is there a book of the Bible (short) or a short book we could all read on our own and then post as we read through it?? we wouldn't really have to be on any type of schedule...that is what is so great about blogging! let me know!
ps- yall need to download some shelly moore band songs on itunes....her voice is incredible, it makes me tear up every time i listen to it!!!
