Heyy all.

Well i just wanted to post something..however short it may end up being because i didnt want it to be too long since the last one. Mind you i dont even remember when the last one was so it could be like..yesterday lol. i am a little out of it....really tired and stressed i have sooo much to do. its crazy..like missing two weeks of school...not so much fun. Catching up is brutal. But whatever i am managing..i know God wouldnt give me the chance to go to africa and then let me come home and not be able to manage...i realize he gives me nothing i cant handle..so am much as it seems like i cannot do this lol...i definatley can with his help! So pray for me guys its going to be rough. Anyways other than school..life is pretty good...its just to be home....we are still not totally un-packed either..but getting there. I was thinking today...about helping. You ..people often ask me..why i do so much.....why i cook..why i help at church..why i clean...why i am always busy helping out someone or doing something. And i had a friend ask me the other day..dont you ever just get tired? And the truth is....YES! I do...i get so tired sometimes....sometimes half the stuff i do i dont want to but i know that it has to be done. I think its not a matter of what i am doing anymore..or how i am helping..as long as i am helping in someway than im good....i mean its little compared to what my parents ..and other people in my life do for me.....its almost nothing in comparison to that ...but still....stuff needs to be done sometimes..even if you think you shouldnt have to do it..or its not your job. I find too that when you help others..you really appreciate it when others help you too...it gives you a perspective on stuff..it lets oyu see just how hard the people around you work....and sure..i get tired. All the time....but that will never stop me from doing stuff that has to be done. Think about it...really if everyone just stopped doing there job because they got tired of it..we wouldnt ever get anywhere. It has really helped me to see that even in al lthis stress of homework and work and what not....that i mean....it doesnt matter how much you get done...how much you help...as long as you are working hard at whatever it is your doing...then you're set. And i was think too today about all the stuff i have to do....and how i am am so sure i am going to like fail and i thought of this verse......its a very popular bible verse but it always gets me when i start to think that icant do stuff. It goes like this

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jer. 29:11

Talking about how god knows all the plans and things he has for you..and no matter what you should always remember that...that he will bring you through whatever you are about to face. That God will bring you through and give you a hope and a future! uh i love how the God always gives me those verses right when i need them. So yes..after stressing all day i sat down and got an email from and at the end of it was this verse. It was just what i needed! So right about now..everything i got to do..really ...just doesnt seem too big...cause i know God is bigger!

lots of love
