Awesome!

Today started off not so well. . . I woke up at 10:30, which happened to be the exact time that I was supposed to be at my advising appointment. Whoops! I e-mailed my advisor who was also my research professor last year immediately and was like sorry, can we do it this afternoon. She said yeah come by after 2, it all worked out but still how horrible was that! Its crazy to think that it was my last time meeting with an advisor for college. . . or at least undergrad. . . graduation is starting to knock on the door a little bit louder.

I read Valparaiso's blog today, and the latest post kind of hit home today for my life. I mean yeah have I been responsible enough to myself, God, my family everything lately or the last four years of college? I mean personally I feel like my relationship with God has not been where it has needed to be the last couple of months. Especially since school has started and my mind is been many different places.

I went to the campus ministry again tonight that I have been going to for the second part on the Holy Spirit. (Okay, I know some of you are already thinking "hombre guapo be careful, we don't want you getting mixed up in some crazy group where they speak in tongues all the time.") It was a really impacting message about busting through that box of what we think of as worship or knowing God! They aren't saying anything wrong, or anti-Bible okay. . . I am being cautious about it. I am still finding myself worshipping God there and being fed. Plus the group is quit diverse; international students and people from other races, which for me I find it quit refreashing! Then I was thinking about what was being shared tonight on the way home. . .

I decided to stop for gas and also call my friend from high school who I haven't talked to in a couple of months. We are really good friends, so its been kind of sad that I haven't talked to her in so long! She was happy to her from me, and said she has been praying for me for a while now. She is stretched pretty thin right now too with everything going on in her life though. It was nice to talk to her for almost an hour about everything and to catch up! I ended up driving around town while talking to her on the phone and ended up at the lake. . .

Let me tell you, the lake is one of my favorite places as some of you know. I haven't been there really at all this school year, which how sad is that?! Well, I talked to my friend while sitting on the guard rail of the road looking at the lake. It was pretty cool. . . but afterwards I had this awesome time with God just sitting out there and praying outloud and stuff! Lets just say it was good to have that time with my Lord!

I am also at peace right now about where God wants me post graduation. Through my time with him tonight, it kind of hit me that God has placed certain desires and dreams in our heart and is on our side! He wants to see us achieve those as a witness to Him. So as I was thinking about how I want to work with Hispanics and definately am considering moving to Texas or somewhere next year closer to the border. Well, for a while I was like is that what God wants though, am I just being selfious? And tonight God gave me a peace about that by telling me, "Hey I put this vision in you and set it in motion. . . maybe even six years ago and you didn't realize it then." I mean I have been studying Spanish for a while now, gone to Guatemala, God has given me a heart for people and for this population. He has given me the use of Spanish and of course He has led me to decide on working down in Texas somewhere or Arizona. (Not exactly sure on the specifics yet, but God is going to take care of it!) Praise God!
