Getting Antsy...

SO I have been reading a blog lately of a girl who is currently in the Philippines at the midwife school. She was actually the one who inspired me to start my own blog to help raise awareness and support and then to keep in touch with family when I am there. I found another girl who is there. So I have been reading all about what they are experiencing and I've been doing a lot of research lately which is just making my heart BURN to go! I wish I could go right now. There is such a huge need and I want to help. 10 months...if I get accepted. I can't even apply yet! I keep praying for patience. But if I am this passionate about it all now maybe God is making me wait to grow it even more!

New Home, Fleas, fevers, and Interns!!!

Wow! It has been a very eventful past couple of weeks! First off I got sick...but its a weird sickness and it just wont go away! It started with a headache then a fever and chills then dizziness. Some days are better than others but it just won't go away. So I think I will be going to the doctor some time this week. So that started 2 weeks ago. Then I went to the Call which was AMAZING!!! One thing that was really cool to see was how many people were there and thinking how every single one of them had been touched by God in so significant of way to make them come and pour out theirs hearts back to Him! It was awesome! The next day I moved into my new house! Very exciting! Until we found out the house in infested with FLEAS!!! Yuck! So we have been spraying and vacuuming. I think they are gone on the inside but our yard is still infested! The Best thing about where I live is that is it 2 houses away from the intern house! So I get to see them all the time! The first years started yesterday and they all left for their first team building intensive this morning! I am so excited to see how God works in their lives this year! So that's what has been going on lately!

The Call!!

So tonight is the first night of The Call! I am so excited! The Call is a prayer rally for the ending of abortion in our nation. Tonight is a worship night which is pretty cool! The only thing is I have been fighting with sickness all week. It started last week when I was housesitting for a friend. One morning I just woke up and had a really bad headache. About an hour later I felt really week and really cold! Even though it was really hot outside! Any thing I did made me exhausted even just getting up to go to the kitchen or bathroom. And my headache was so bad it was hard to move. The worst of it was the first 2 days but I have had a headache all week long while slowly getting rid of the other symptoms. Until today...Today I feel like the first day! I think it is totally an attack since the Call is today! Ugh, Hopefully it will go away when the Call is over!

Time to get excited!!!

I am moving this weekend!!! I can't wait! I was walking around Target yesterday and realized how many little things we simply don't have. We will manage just fine, but it was just a reality check for me to see how many things I use daily.

I am so excited to get things started. This summer felt like life on pause! So now I'm pushing the start button and the countdown begins till I hopefully go to the Philippines. First I guess I should count down until I can apply... I have been reading a blog by a girl who just left for the Philippines to go to the same school I want to go to. I love hearing her stories and seeing all the pictures of the beautiful women and babies! Thinking about it makes me so giddy!

Anyways, not much else to say...

Oh sharing my testimony went well! I was nervous until I got on stage and then I was fine!
