Oh my!

Right now in SOM we're going through our Biblical counseling class and I honestly feel like I should have a fat lip and black eye after walking out of class each time because it's so intense just being reminded how imperfect I am that I feel each class is a time for me to be beaten up (in a good way). People come for me to counsel them, yet I still feel like I know absolutely nothing and my life is so far from being anything of an example of living a life pleasing to God, especially when it comes to the issues of the heart. I am so amazed that He uses someone as flawed as I am to be a part of His work! If anyone has ever thought I'm something special for being here, I would have to tell them that it's totally and completely nothing on account of who I am, but God wanting to use those who are furthest from perfection in order to receive the most glory.

Happy Valentines Day

So today is what some like to affectionately refer to as "Single Awareness Day" which is of course a little true, but honestly I can't complain about my day today. It was busy from the start studying for my teachings, painting and cleaning my soon to be little apartment, and then finally after youth group heading out to watch Lost with about six other people close to my age who are also missionaries here with various organizations. This is the second week we've done it and we're making it into a weekly thing which I don't mind one bit. Anyways, all that do say...this day truly was a happy Valentines Day.

My baby girl

Could she be any cuter? I think not!

A nice Thursday night

Right now I'm enjoying a beautiful night while drinkin' a li'l coffee, eating mint oreos, watching Zoolander, and playing Scrabble with Ryan, Ellen, and Judy. I honestly can't complain, of course I'm also trying to study for test tomorrow like a good girl.

Kid's Christmas

Finally!

Today I finally was able to distribute the presents for the kids that many of you helped get. They were so so so excited, it was so cute! They each loved it and their moms were so stoked about it to. It was such a huge blessing and thank you for blessing these kids!

my latest project

So after the school of ministry, I'm going to move into my own little wee apartment, I'm stoked to have a place of my own and I've been going crazy with all the ideas I have to make it my own. Today I really got started "Kellifying" the place. As you can see, my living room I'm painting green, then the kitchen a burnt yellow, my room an egg plant, and then I'm still deciding on the bathroom. Ryan made me get water-based paint because he knows me way too well. It's starting to look somewhat livable though, so I'm getting really really excited.
