This past weekend was a "storm of life" type and even though I wanted to let the emotions of anger, confusion, and disappointment take over... I couldn't/or wasn't allowed?
I started praying that through this process He would be glorified, and then I sent out the get to my Prayer Warrior Family! =) (side note: If you don't have a group of people you can reach out to 24/7 to mutually pray for one another... DON'T GO ONE MORE DAY!! Remedy this issue!)
I asked God to let me open my mouth to ensure that the flesh didn't come spilling out on anyone, including myself! Through God's faithfulness I listened, cried, prayed and listened some more!
The ringing message was that I am to praise the Lord in everything and that He is most glorified when I serve Him in sharing the gospel! Circumstances take on another "dimension" when put in this light!
Even as I type this.. A dear sister is texting me and reminded me that I told her "Jesus is Faithful to the end" so I rejoiced in realizing, I'm still here and He is still being Faithful... so this MUST not be the end!!! =)
There is sooo much to write.. but God's faithfulness to me is TOO great to document ;)
I am extremely blessed!

The Many Hats of Blessing
I wish I was better at posting when I thought of all my awesome thoughts!
So funny how God knows what we need and when we need it! For example... the kids I work with say something obscure and I just crack up, I need a slap in the spiritual face and listen to a sermon-delivered! My favorite is when friends and family call, Skype, FaceTime, text, tweet, Facebook, etc... to ask for prayer or to tell me I'm missed... DUDE my heart leaps for joy and I am sooooo blessed!!
Thankfully, when I need to be humbled and reminded that I have been given life for serving my King, I find myself at prayfordaisy.com I am so blessed by this lil girls life, and the thing that boggles my mind- I've never met her in person! Be careful as you read their blog... YOU WILL NEED TISSUE!!! The testimony of the Jesus in her and her family is a journey in its self!
Lots of people come into your life, at different times, for different reasons, and for different lengths of time... I have been blessed to know and share life with Mr. Dave Zapp.
I didn't want to write anything for a while about how close I was to him, my favorite, memory, or how much I am going to miss him! Not due to the lack of words I could produce, but because I didn't feel the time appropriate! Even though I am still unsure of a time to divulge, I know this... The greatest compliment can't be penned or typed for the world, but rather lived!
Mr. Zapp was a wise man and I loved him very much! What better way to say THANK YOU than to "follow him as he followed Christ"!
Goodnight All n Blessings

An Interesting Happenstance
Hello All!!
This is my first attempt to blogging!!
It all started on a weird June day (the 18th to be exact) I received a fbook message from Kathy W. asking for an update on my time in Oregon!
I recently transplanted here from BEAUTIFUL CALIFORNIA for the summer to do summer camp... Well, as I prepared a response that was witty, charming, and worthy of noting... my co-worker Jonathan B. said "You should blog about it, so you don't have to wire out the same thing a million times" to which I replied "What if no one reads or follows mine because I don't keep up with other peoples blogs"
So whether this was anyones ideal passing of information... here it is, take it - or leave it!!!!
Since returning in June, we have moved into our lil basement apartment. (I know! You're probably thinking "BASEMENT!! Like a dungeon?? Drafty, damp, mice invested under layer of a house?" Keep reading!) It is more like an attachment because the house is on a slope! http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150846191322307.401997.687727306&type=3
Check out some pics!
Anyway!!!!! I will hopefully NOT forget about this blogging thing and try to keep anyone who is into blogging and into the HAPPENINGS of Portland up to date!
Loves n Hugs!
