The weekend.
So this weekend we all went "camping". Because we didn't really go camping I decided to make a campsite for us. In our living room I hauled some trees in and decided to get creative.
That was are make shift campfire
Then we went to Dunn-Bros for Coffee... I think they cut me off from the coffee at this point...
Always time for hugs.. Or tired legs
Then we went Apple Picking. In this picture we went in the store at the Orchard and there was some crazy music playing so we decided to dance.
Then we ALL decided to dance.... Lets just say we made a big scene in the middle of a store filled with people
Oh, the tasting of the apples
Mmmmmm
I found an apple with a butt...
Notice the Moon and Stars

Oh.. to be fully known
Our deepest desire is to be known. Our deepest fear is that when we are fully known we will not be loved.
It says in the bible that perfect love casts out all fear. What if love is what you fear?
I have learned more about love in these past 9 1/2 months than I have my whole entire life.
I have come to a place where I am ok with being fully known. Don't get me wrong it still hurts, but I am ok with fully being known.
Through an amazing bunch of ladies I have realized that the commandment Love your neighbors as yourself should only flow out of the place of Loving the Lord with all your heart. We seem to skip the first and run to the second commandment.
I never thought I would gain 9 sisters but I have. I have fallen in love with each and every one of them.
Kyndra, Bonnie, Jessie, Laura, Katelyn, Rachelle, Amy, Brianna and Sasha... You girls truly bless me and it is an honor to call you family. Thank you for showing me the Father's heart.

Next Year
It has been an amazing time here at Bethany College of Missions. I can't believe I only have 2 1/2 months left.
I hate this time for many reasons... I hate the fact that the family (all my sisters) I have gained while being here at BCOM will be leaving in December. I don't like this transition period of wondering what I am going to be doing come next year. (Sometimes I wish God would just speak audibly to me.)
I don't know what I am doing next year. I do, but I don't. I had a few options presented to me last week that would be a way of working around and with what I really want to do next year. On campus we have a prayer ministry that God has put a burning passion in my heart to be a part of. Leadership here came up with a couple of ways that I could slowly work into being a part of that prayer ministry. The first option was being a mentor next January. A mentor basically oversees a group of 6-9 girls that are going to school here. You meet one on one with them, encourage them, pray with them etc... The second is going for some specific training in Canada called Singing Waters Ministry and taking an intense 3 month course called Isaiah 61 and then returning back to BCOM.
I really don't know which one to do. I have prayed about it, but am waiting. The Isaiah 61 school is kind of expensive and I don't know where I would get the money from and the mentoring position I don't know if I am really ready to be in charge of 6-9 girls spiritual "development" for an entire year.
I was telling a good friend of mine here at BCOM that I feel inadequate and weak for both these options and that God graciously reminded me that I am indeed inadequate and weak, but through His strength I am adequate and strong... and only through His strength. He brings me to my knees every time He reminds me of this. Once again I am humbled before Him and feel strength arise as I focus on Him and nothing else.

Prank!
This lady is our Advisor here at BCOM and last week she and some other girls soaked me with water balloons and then the next day this lady went out and bought a super-soaker and was waiting for me after I came out from lunch... Revenge is sweet :) We had a lot of fun pranking her back, but I may not live to see next week!
