Selah

Do you ever want real solitude? I am emotionally and physically drained from the last month of my life traveling, hanging out with kids and taking on change. There is no better time than now to ask God to fill me up and send me out in the way he wants me to go. I'm on fire for God, yet I want nothing more than to rest. If only I could step away from the world, into a private cabin in a lush green far off wood. The longing to spend hours alone with God in prayer, meditation and conversation is not being filled in this crazy life. I'm struggling to figure out who I am, where I'm going, what I have to offer and why I'm here. These things are constantly swirling around in my head, distracting me from the importance of me. An amazing man recently said "satisfaction will never be reached when you thirst for acceptance and worth in those around you". Thank you Arnold Camacho for speaking to my heart what I've needed to hear so badly.

Lord hear my prayer,

Heal my friends and family from suffering, pain, discomfort, confusion, and struggles. Use me in every way you have planned. I am broken and sinful, Lord guide me. This day has been tough and I am just speechless and still processing everything. What should I do? I don't know how to make these decisions on my own, I'm listening.

I love you Daddy,

Your Daughter

Keep praying

The Countdown Is On!

One more week until I go home for the Summer! 4 full months in the beautiful San Luis Obispo County!

This has been a hectic semester, flying to Georgia for Ben's graduation from bootcamp, flying to Susanville, CA two weekends in a row, taking Ben home with me for Spring Break, quick trips to Long Beach and Riverside squeezed in between, not to mention the unending homework and papers to write. Oh wait there is an end! I see it! No more sitting in classes listening to

lectures...well at least for this semester. Only finals left then I'm moving home for the summer, look out Dad, Mom, Reid and Annie here I come!

Oh Monday

Today was a busy day. Chapel in the morning, class until 11:30am, interview for a speech in Riverside, pick up the boyfriend from a recording studio in Huntington Beach, shopping in Huntington Beach, return the boyfriend to Long Beach, and back to Azusa to finish a paper after 11:00pm that is due tomorrow morning. I'm tired and wiped out. I can't wait to go home in a week and a half. Back to cable television where I will get to see the amazing Vin Scully's face and hear his incredible announcing. Wish the Dodgers would figure out better security and get a new owner.

Over and Out,

Dodger Dogs

OPENING DAY!!!

Dodgers beat the SF Giants 2-1! Couldn't ask for a better opening to the season. I have no idea how my boys will preform this season, but I always have faith. I will stand by my team through thick and thin. Certain players maybe not so much *cough, cough* Manny (glad thats over). Sad to see Torre go at the end of the last season, he's a great guy, but we must move on. Thank you Lord for baseball.

APU...wow its been 7 months since I moved. Currently it is REALLY warm outside. 90 degrees earlier today. Whew! Summer here we come! I've got a good amount of chapel credits so last night I went to Kaleo chapel for the first time this semester. Wow great stuff. Wonderful worship and message, the Lord is so good! Can't wait for all the things he will do in the future. Only 5 weeks until my summer really starts. Throw in a week of spring break, and the semester is almost over!

Over and Out,
