its going to be sooo much fun!

i have an opportunity to go to tunisia [north africa] in may for 2 weeks with my SCF group

this is something i really feel that God is calling me to do

i feel that He wants to push me out of my comfort zone & stretch me

i've been praying about it... a lot

i have all my SCF friends praying

phil is praying in indy

it's just really close to jackie's wedding

so i'll continue to pray, please be in pray with me

i'm going to enjoy some apple cider from fall fest & study a little bit

The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your needs in parched places, and make your bones strong, and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters never fail. Isaiah 58:11

just when i thought things couldn't get any better... they did.
