2 in 1 weekend (This may be sad)

Wow can you believe it I am posting twice in one weekend!!! :)

This is probably going to be a sad email so if you want you may stop reading here. If, however, you are in the mood to cry with me then read right on a head.

I got a very sweet email from Heather today. I just sat in my bed and cried for a very long time. I never knew that I would miss her this much. Sometimes I feel alone at church even though I know that I'm not. I have so many AMAZING people in my life but I still really miss Heather. This was my fist communion at Cornerstone and I wished so bad that Heather could have been there. I have always had my close friend with me at communion and it was really hard not to this year. It seems so odd that we have all went our own ways. I don't know if there is really any of us that are still 100% on the same page. We used to all be close to the same spot and now we seem to be getting farther and farther apart. I know that God brings us to different places thought out our life's and its a good thing to have change but it can be VERY hard. I also know that there are NEVER ALWAYS going to be people who you are 100% on the same page with, but its still hard to see us all going in such different directions. God is good and He is leading us ALL on our journey though life. He has called each of us to a different calling and thats ok. He knows what his is doing so much better than I. "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares the LORD" Isaiah 55:8." For I know the plans I have for you you, Declares the LORD, Plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" Jeremiah 29:11. These are such encouraging verses to me when I am feeling down! God is so good and He has a plan for us. We need to trust Him and lean on Him.

Just so you all know. I did tell you that you did not have to read the whole thing!

Well I am VERY tired to Goodnight.

SORRY

To: Courtney Boone!

So... I just want everyone to know that I am VERY sorry for not blogging in such a LONG time. But to Miss. Boone I want to send a special apology. I ask that you would PLEASE forgive me for being so behind in my blogging. I am a very POOR writer and it makes it difficult to keep up.

So how about an update. So I made it home safe from Haiti. I am missing Heather lots and lots but I will make it :) I got home and was getting settled in and the opportunity for me to go to Kenya came up. I leave Nov 18th and get home Jan 1st, which just happens to be my 18th birthday!! :) I have been getting everything that I need together for Kenya. It has been much easier then going to Haiti because now I feel like I know what I am going to need.

Tonight Court and I went to town and I picked up the last of the things I am going to be taking with me. Sometime I am hoping to get a list of things that are needed in Kenya and then I will be getting things that I will be taking down for the people down in Kenya. I am hoping to maybe get this in the next week or so. If anyone would like to help out let me know.

I just got a call from Sheila (Heathers mom) She said that she just got off the phone with Heather. Heather asked for prayer for one of the girls who is staying in the D.R. at the other IFM mission. I guess she was in a park in Jimani (the little town right across the border) and was in a moto accident. She broke a bone in her hand/wrist and has had some pain. Please keep her in your prayers her name is Stephanie. There is also prayer need for the Children's home. John, Lois, Julia, and Kris are all sick. John, Lois, and Julia have Typhoid and Kris has some sort of fever. They don't' know for sure how to spell it. They are all feeling sick and can't do a lot. Please pray for quick healing! They have two children now!! That is very exciting. They did not think they would be getting any for a year or so and in a few months they have two!! Please just keep all of them in your prayers! God still works today! I think sometimes we forget or don't let Him!

So that is all for tonight. MAYBE I will do a better job of keeping this thing up to date! We can always pray :)

Goodnight.
