Thailand

So.... it has been over a year since my last blog post!  You can say I'm not a very good blogger!!  Actually to be totally honest I forgot that I signed on blogspot!  Today though I was reminded of it from my bestest friend Sarah who reminded me to read her blog.  As I was reading it I was reminded of how wonderful it is to be able to see how she is doing.  As the day went on today I thought of so many things that I would like to blog about.

So here goes again...another try at blogging.

Well since my last blog so many new things have come about.  One of the biggest things, which I want to start blogging about because I know it is going to help me process is that Aaron and I are to leave this coming August for our first mission trip to Thailand for 1 year!  We are both very excited about this and have felt called to do missions since before we were married.  This is something that God put on my heart the day I got saved.  I've been on a few short term mission trips here and there but never anything long term, so as excited as I am, I am also very nervous.  Of course I'm a little nervous about the big bugs, the language barrier, and the mosquitios  but most of all of being so far away from my family and friends.  That probably sounds like such a small thing to be worried about, my husband is not in the least worried about leaving his family, I mean he will miss them but it's different for me, this is my safety net I've lived here all my life I know where everything is if I need something I can call just about anyone.  But in Thailand.... that's a different story.  I know sometimes God calls us to do the unthinkable, I feel like this is the unthinkable!  As much as I feel called sometimes I wonder if I will make it there will I really be able to survive?  Geez I sound so dramatic!  I have to remember God is calling me and I am following.  So many times I prayed, God Please, please Send ME!!  Now here He is sending me and I'm scared!  

Another thing that I wanted to mention why we are excited to go is we are going to try and adopt a child while we are there.  We hope and pray that God will direct and guide us to the child that he would have us have.

Tonight

Hello fellow bloggers! Today is a new day! Actually it's the end of the day it's already 11pm but I always feel more awake at night. I thought that this would be a good time for me to start my new blog! I'm still not really sure what I am going to write about. I came home tonight about 930 from my mom's house, I've been coming and going from there for the past three days because she just had sugery and the helpful daughter that I wanted to be decided that I would make dinner and help clean up as well as visit with her because she can't go very far. I left from there and drove home to do some spring cleaning which I do often now that it is spring and I have more motivation to clean. I realized though as I was cleaning and listnening to some really good worship music that just took me to that place where God and I meet, that place that I can't really explain it's just so intimate and precious, that place where I realize my sins, my faults, my hurts. I realized that I need to worship more often wheather its in my car, which it usually is because I drive so much or just in our comfy little home where I can meet with the creator of the universe just for a brief few moments to have him touch my heart and I remember the significance of who I am and why he created me!
