Things I LOVE: Culture

So not that long ago I wrote about going to coffee with friends and I had expressed how this was one of my all time favorite things to do! WELL I have decided that I have to continue writing some of my favorite things maybe as insignificant as they may be but all in all my FAVORITE!
My younger sister, Hillary, started a list of things that she LOVED and it made me start to wonder about things that I might love...as I started thinking about all these things I realized how TRUELY blessed I am to be surrounded by small, big, weird, crazy things that make me happy. They are like little gifts that God has set aside just for me to enjoy at any given time that He chooses!
I am going to start with cultures! I LOVE cultures! I love learning about them, understanding them and most of all being immersed in them, getting to experience them first hand. It is truely amazing how God made different areas so special!
It is like getting to know a person, everyone is different some of them have similarities but others are just off the wall. You can hear stories and think that you will really get along with them but you won't know until you hangout with them. In that time you could love them quickly or not and have to work to love them.
I have yet to meet a culture that I have to work to love...there is just so much behind what they do and how they do it that I can't help but appreciate how God has constructed them over the years!

Missing HOME!!

3 Months...It has been three months since AFRICA and I have been missing it more than ever before! The thrill of being home as worn off and now I am ready to get back to my 2nd home!

Life has been pretty amazing, weird, crazy...my last week in Africa I got an email from my mother stating that a job was opening up at CTI Music Ministries! I contacted one of the staff members there to get a little information about the job and an application! The following week when I was back in Prinsburg I was in contact with them and asked to come in for an interview! I sent in my application and a week later I had a job...not just any job, a job I LOVE and that is furthering Gods kingdom, THE PERFECT JOB! At least for me that is!

Not long after starting there I was also asked to help out my home church with the Young Adults! I have been a little slow getting it all started because it has taken me a LONG time to get into a grove after getting back. I pray that I will be used and can help the Young Adults of my community get involved in a group that makes them feel comfortable! I thank God that I was chosen to try and help out in this way!

THANKS BE TO GOD!
