Tagged
Current mood: awake

Okay, so I guess I got tagged by yanna :). The way it works is when you get tagged you have to do exactely what I am doing here... Which is write a blog of ten random facts, ideas, habits, goals, or whatever about your life and then list ten people that YOU are tagging. So here we go:

1. right now im sitting in an old dormatory room with all my luggage scattered because i cant figure out how to fit it all in... i really need to get rid of the clutter in my life.
2. im struggling.. with my walk with God. i keep feeling these desert times... i dont know how else to describe it.
3. i need to have a stronger faith. or renew my faith maybe.. i feel like everything i've learned in the past, i have to re-learn.. its so tough becoming the decision maker in my own life.
4. i just got back from my first mission trip in Vilnius and i leave for ukraine tomorrow morning.. by bus and train thru poland with my new friend Olya.
5. by the way, I loved Lithuania.. it has forever changed my life, because it opened my eyes to the real world.. to exactly what i needed to go through to get to my awareness of how truly blind i am.
6. life is so much more then following traditions and doing things just because someone says so... how could i have sold myself so short all this time. i didnt allow for my heart to learn on my own.(i dont know if this makes any sense at all)
7. I think its about time i start seeking wisdom from God and not just go with the flow... i am really really lacking in it.
8. my family-its so crazy that while im gone it seems like everything is happening, good and bad... i wonder about God's plan in that. but i know its supposed to be this way.
9.im leaving for ukraine tomorrow and i'll be meeting up with my beloved fresnoians! i dont even know how i will react... the first time seeing them in 5 months...
10. wow it feels like i just got started and here is the last fact.. well i guess i could say that i've learned to never never never stop making good friends whereever you go. dont ever be afraid to get attached. because the hope of seeing them in heaven is the biggest reward.

i think i understand how that is. it takes a long time to understand everything that happened.
