joy (II)

I can hardly contain myself. I've just had a really great weekend! Talking with my housemate Angela late last night was so great. I'm really going to miss those girls when they graduate. We were talking about her going on STINT in the fall and how that's going to be, and talking about being excited how God is going to raise up the men to go with her. I'm just really excited!!

I really don't know what to say or how to articulate what's going on inside of me. Like, I just love life so much and I love God so much andddddd I wish that there really was a word that everyone understood that could explain this... I know the word is 'joy' but I really don't believe everyone knows what 'joy' truly means by experiencing it. When Jesus said, "I came that you might have life and have it to the full" he wasn't lying! I just really wish people knew what they were saying no to when they ignore a relationship with God.

Julia showed me Melissa's blog (she's doing STINT in Tanzania right now) and so I've been reading it and realized that I really believe God wants me to go there in the fall of 2008. It's so crazy. I'm really excited and scared and nervous and yeah. I'm especially excited to raise the money!! It will be such a testament to the goodness and provision of God. Raising like $30 000? Wow!
