Just finished day one of classes.
It was pretty awesome. Not as difficult as I expected SO FAR.....only time will tell though.
Gotta go hit the books pretty hard tonight....so I will give a more sufficient update later. :)

Sunday oh Sunday
Honesty:
Sundays are difficult for me.
10am....church is starting here in St.Louis....but all I can think about is how worship practice is just getting started back at home. *sigh* I MISS everyone....I miss singing....and I even miss being picked on by Frank!
It's weird...but going to church has been the most difficult thing for me so far. It's SO weird to go from being the one greeting the guests to the one being greeted. It kind of makes makes me excited to go back home and put more effort into making people feel welcome. But at the same time, no matter how welcoming people are or how many people greet me, it's still one of the loneliest feelings I've ever felt.
So, as I stood in worship today....I didn't know a couple of the songs and I found myself starting to dwell on the fact that as I looked around, not a single one of these people really knows me...and I don't know the songs...and everything here is so different...and blah blah blah. You know, the typical pity-mode that we all get into occasionally. And I started to pray....
And suddenly I remembered two things:
1) On my last Sunday at the River Center, Katie Krueger had a vision......of me....walking in an unfamiliar place, and God...facing me, walking backwards holding both of my hands. And as I walked, I kept my eyes focused on him and not on anything around me.
2) Jackie Blondell also had a word for me about abiding in the Lord....and told me to read Psalm 27.
Here are a couple of sections of that chapter that stick out to me:
"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be CONFIDENT"
"He will hide me in His shelter in the day of trouble; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will lift me high upon a rock. And now my head shall be lifted up above all enemies around me above all my enemies around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will SING and make MELODY to the Lord"
"Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me!"
"You have said, 'Seek my face.' My heart says to you, 'your face, Lord, do I seek.'"

"I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! Wait for the Lord, be strong and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!"
Who am I to worry? GOD, in his perfect timing, has placed me here.
What more do I need to know?

Writing from the Lou....
Oh man oh man. I haven't blogged for awhile. I guess I didn't feel like I had anything significant to say. =)
Went to a Cardinal's game this week for Josiah's birthday. That was a BLAST! =) I seriously loved it.
Today we got up at the crack of crack and went to the church to help with "angel food" then we got to go out to a lake and swim around...ride in the boat....get sun burned. It was BEAUTIFUL out there. I'll post pics on facebook in a lil while. Had a wonderful ride home with Renee and Amie. They're pretty much amazing. They're SO much like my friends at home....*sigh* God is good. =) I was worried that I'd be TOO crazy for people...and maybe freak them out. But...pretty sure things are gonna work out just fine ;) And some day soon, I plan on completely releasing my "crazy"
This week was.....well....a little more rough than last week. God has been speaking to me, showing me areas I need to work on, which is good. Humbling, but good.
It is REALLY different spending a HUGE chunk of my time with 3 boys and at times I get a little frustrated with it. Mostly just because we're still learning how to be a team. I KNOW that God placed me in this place, with these guys, for a purpose. I keep reminding myself of that and so far I've only had one break-down moment =)
So.....yeah......it's been a good week. Tomorrow we have a college age BBQ after church. Kinda excited about that. I love hanging out with these people!
K...that's all for this time folks!
Miss ya'll!

Welp, I'm officially a college kid! It has been such a wonderfully busy time here so far and I can't wait for everything to get into FULL swing. :)
Here is a little recap of Freshmen Orientation so far:
On Thursday we all arrived and unpacked all of our crap, that took most of the morning. Then after lunch we had our first Freshman Year Experience class which was actually really fun. I'm in Dr. Baker's class and really lovin it. We have a lot of smart kids in our class and Baker is an awesome prof. That took up most of our afternoon so after that, we had a little luau out on the lawn then said goodbye to our parents. After that we were off to our "knighting" ceremony which WAS pretty cheesy, but hey we got a free t-shirt so it's all good. :) We concluded the night with watching some of the volleyball game (We dominated, btw.) and a trip to play broom hockey at Lloyd Center.
Friday started with FYE class bright and early. After we were done with that, we had just enough time to squeze in a little office scavenger hunt before lunch. Next, we went and did some community service at a local high school, pulling weeds and cleaning up stuff, ya know the usual. ha ha. When we got back from that, they set up a giant waterslide down the hill.....in the rain. So my roommate, Rakay, and I decided to run to Wal-Mart and get some snacks instead. Then we had a little President's dinner and ceremonial class tree planting, followed by a pretty awesome hoedown. :)
Today we spent pretty much all day doing a "City Search". We went all over downtown portland and found some pretty sweet locations while answering scavenger hunt type questions. Once again, my FYE class was bomb. We never got lost and actually finished early. Then when we got back to campus, we had a little debriefing with all the other classes and answered some questions about what we saw. And of course, our class won the city search trophey. :) So yeah, excellent experience so far. Now we have a bit of free time before dinner and Brent and Nancy are actually gonna come visit me since they were already in town. :)
I'll have to give you more details about things as I have time....and as they come up. :)

Recap of week #1 in the Lou...
Wow. I've been here a week. Crazyness. It feels like way longer than that!
Today was our first "day off" so we went to the St. Louis Zoo...it was actually really cool. And free. =) I like free.... lol
But last night...oh my goodness....not much can be better than a night like last night.
A small group of people wanted to hang out...I was under the impression that we were going to "chill" maybe play games...I dunno. But when i got there, everyone wanted to sing worship songs and pray. I was like alright, cool. (honestly, as lame as this sounds, I don't remember ever getting together at someones house just to have a mini-worship session just for the heck of it. But after this night, I'm pretty sure that I'd like to do it more often!)
Ok, So...we're singing, praying...and Amie is talking about how sometimes we need to stop requesting things of God and just worship Him for who HE is and how thankful we are and in doing that He wants to do amazing things for us.
So we continued to just worship God for his goodness and love and Ryan suggested that we pray for specific people. We all went around the room and said someone we wanted to pray for. So as we're praying for Ryan's friend, Jesse, Ryan's cell phone rings loudly and interrupts us...and it was Jesse calling! We were like "dude...wow" =) So Ryan goes in the other room to talk to him and we can overhear him like preaching the gospel to this guy! So we continue to pray for the conversation that's happening at that very moment. And Amie has a vision of Ryan giving Jesse a gift. And Ryan didn't know what this gift was but he was just faithful to give it.
So...Ryan comes back in the room. The conversation was really good. This guy was searching.
Coincidence? I think not.
So, we start to pray for Dillons friend, Corey. We start praying...and go on to pray for some other people...and Dillon gets a text from Corey saying "we need to find a time to hang out and talk"
SERIOUSLY?!?!? =)
Coincidence? I think not.
At this point, we're all cracking up laughing! Like, "God? What the heck are you doing?!?!" lol
So we move on to pray for Mitch's friend, Amie's family, Renee's family, Latitude, and my brother, Cory. Meanwhile, I'm hearing my phone vibrate in my purse and I'm like "holy moly....could God really be THAT amazing? maybe it's Cory!" So I check my phone...missed call...voicemail...last missed call was Gus. *sigh* Guess it's not the time. I go back to sitting down and Dillon has a vision of a father holding his baby son in his arms and a little daughter jumping up and down saying "daddy, cover him up with this blanket!" and the father says "Daughter, I see your compassion and love but remember, I KNOW how to take care of my child" Wow.
Then Ryan has a word about how when Lazarus died, Jesus wept. He had compassion for the sisters, wept with them, and the proceeded to raise Lazarus from the dead. (read John 11...it makes alot more sense than I just made lol)
Anyways....lots of praying, worshipping, encouraging one another. It was an amazing night.
I get home...plop down on the couch to send a quick e-mail...and my phone rings.
It's Cory.
Coincidence? I think not.
No stinkin way! Let me just tell you..it was all I could do to hold in the tears as I talked to him.
After we talked, I remembered that I had a voicemail. I listen to it....and it was Cory also! Come to find out, It WAS Cory that had called when we were praying. but when I looked, I only saw the last missed call and I had actually missed two.
*Sigh* God is amazing. Someone made the comment that that night was like, "God, in real time" Or "the 21st-century God" sending texts...using cell phones....
We worship an amazing God.
For such a time as this, I was placed upon this earth.
To hear the voice of God and do HIS will, whatever it is.
I'm sorry this was so wordy...I'm just so pumped my fingers are flying a million miles an hour trying to type this all out!
I've got some reading to do. I'm only half way through Genesis and it has to be finished by the end of this week
Miss you all....but I'm VERY glad to be in St. Louis, EXACTLY where God wants me! =)

Sleepless Nights and Josh Wilson....
Well the art of not being able to sleep because you are thinking about everything you still have to back has finally set in. Actually I think I have become a master at it. It is so strange to think that I only have one more night sleeping in the bed that I have slept in ever since I can remember! I mean its not like I wont be home to visit pretty often and sleep in it then (because I love to think that I will visit often), but coming from someone who has lived in the same house for 18 years its kinda a big thing. Don't get me wrong...I am SOOOOO excited to move to Warner, but I guess I'm a little more nervous than I thought. I know that I will be fine though because God has it all figured out.
So I'm sitting here listening to Josh Wilson, getting ready for camp (which I am going to for 2 days, then coming home, packing, and leaving early Thursday morning for school. Crazy, I know :)) and I had forgotten how much I love artists like him and Matthew West. Usually I'm more into secular music because, regardless of the lyrics, the musicality of it is usually more entertaining to me....BUT I'm diggin Josh and Matt lately. Kinda A LOT. :)
Alright well as much as I would LOVE to keep blogging my little heart out, I have a paper to write for my first Freshman Year Experience Class on Thursday so I better save some creativity for that. :)

And so it begins....
Well, at long last packing day has arrived.....actually I should say packing DAYS. lol.
Most of my clothes are packed.
Wow. Its really weird to actually see this happening. I keep thinking that I have plenty of time to take care of all the last minute things to be done but the fact of the matter is that tomorrow is an average Sunday, then after that I'm off to camp for a few days, home for one, then moving up to P-town. Look out college here I come!
Other news of today....I went and saw (500) Days of Summer this afternoon and boy was it good! It was so random but it really got me thinking about the future. I can't WAIT to meet all of these new people at school and get a fresh perspective about what they think. =)
Anyways, Brit: Your welcome for finally blogging....its not like I haven't thought about blogging, its just that my adventure hasn't really seemed to start until today. :)

The Black Hole
They say that St. Louis is the black hole....once you're here, you get sucked in and never leave.
Do I agree with this phrase?
I haven't decided yet.
But let me tell you, I sure have been thinking about it alot lately.
I don't want to just fall in love with this city and these people only because I LOVE being busy, surrounded by fun people and in a new place. I can already see myself being unhappy when I go back home to a job...and a few random things I'm involved in. I like having specific tasks, goals, SOMETHING to work towards. And I'm not gonna lie...I kinda like having a desk. lol (weird....)
So today was cool....went to UMSL...handed out waterbottles, granola bars, and LATITUDE fliers. Way different than the other day at Webster...but still enjoyed it. I'm enjoying just spending more time with people. I know that in a few weeks I'll open up alot more and start showing my goofy ridiculous self. (I've always been like that...)
Well...it's almost dinner time. We're hangin out here then heading over to Josiah's host home. Should be fun.
I DO miss everyone....but I don't allow myself to think about all that often. It's not worth dwelling on. =)
I'm here.
For now.
Not forever. (at least I don't think it'll be forever)
And I'll see everyone again.
No use getting upset about it.
(I say this partly because I believe it...partly because I'm getting rid of any little bit of doubt that I might have)
=)
If you're reading this....I'm guessing that you're someone that's important to me....in which case...I love you. =)
P.S. If you are nancy or gina...I'm basically sick of being the only one posting on this stinkin blog of "OURS" and if you don't post soon I'm changing the password. lol

Webster University
Today we went to Webster university to help the freshman move in. What an amazing, exhausting experience! The whole time I was there, God was speaking to me that THIS is what it's all about. Serving people, loving people, going to where the people are and meeting their PRACTICAL needs. I loved to see the look on their faces when they pulled their car up....10 people swarmed the car, and literally less than 5 minutes later everything was unpacked and delivered to their dorm room. They were SO blessed and shocked. As things started to slow down people started to as where we were from and why our shirts said "Latitude" (name of the college group @ Jubilee church). So we had the chance to tell them a little about Latitude and even then they didn't understand why we would just go help....for nothing in return.
God is Good.
I've been here for 3 days...Already I've met so many amazing people. After we finished at Webster, we went to dinner at the Royale. Yum. While we were sitting there eating I was just kinda watching everyone talk...(I like to observe. lol) And I was absolutely amazed at how much they remind me of my closest friends.
They talk like we do, they joke like we do, they laugh at the same stupid things...(Gina, Chris, Nancy, Brent....oh how I miss your guts) Anyways, it's a huge blessing to be surrounded by people that I already feel like I know.
God is Good.
I think I already said that =)
Honest truth, I miss home. HOWEVER, today I'm really positive about the fact that this year is going to be so full of amazing times that I wish I had a video camera to just record every moment so I don't forget.
*sigh* God really is good......

Settling in...
Wow. Day two of official Year Team activities. Exciting...
I'm starting to calm down a little. Night #1 was somewhat difficult. Last night I actually slept so that's a plus. =)
I keep reminding myself, it's only 9 months.....while at the same time reminding myself that it IS ONLY 9 months...so I'd better suck in every ounce of everything God has for me because I know it's going to be over before I know it.
We got our books yesterday. 6 books.....plus the entire Bible. Wow. =) Good thing there's a starbucks nearby ;)
The people here truly are amazing. Very welcoming...down-to-earth....NORMAL people. =) I like normal people....lol My host family is amazing too. We had family dinner tonight. It was delicious. =)
So yeah....trying to get into the groove of things. Figuring out when we do what and how to manage our time as efficiently as possible. Everything (including the reading) really starts next week. Sooo......in the mean time me and the guys are doing random stuff (cleaning, moving things, setting things up) and spending time in our "office" =) Yup, you heard me....we have an OFFICE. lol and I have a desk! (Thank you Missy for the fun office supplies...my desk is well stocked...and thank you Karen E for the gumballs...the boys ate them ALL today lol)
Keep the prayers coming!
Love you guys....

This is for real...
I write to you from the Portland airport...
Here I sit...
Kinda glad to be here.....only because this has been the longest week of goodbyes that's ever existed.
To my left...Creepy little hispanic men playing the banjo and some crazy flute thing....not exactly relaxing. =)
To my right....a lady screaming on the phone so someone can here her.
In front of me is a man talking to himself. Or perhaps on his bluetooth......
Behind me is a handsome man in a pink shirt eating a banana......
I'm gonna be ok. I keep saying that out loud. Everyone probably thinks I'm insane. Oh well =)
I guess that this is the first time I've actually let myself think about the fact that I'm surrounded by unfamiliar faces. Yikes.
I've managed to stop crying at this point. That's a start. =)
Christmas is almost here! =) I've always started counting down in July....and I have a feeling that I'll be doing that this year more than ever.
alright....I'm headed to Gate C15.

I've managed to stop crying at this point. That's a start. =)

alright....I'm headed to Gate C15.
