Gone south!

Hey everybody, I am guest blogging for Katina! She is in Mexico this week on a mission trip with our church. I believe this is her third time to do this trip. They left Saturday shortly after 6am and arrived in Juarez Saturday evening. It was a long trip but they arrived safely and taught 2 Vacation Bible Schools today. They teach at a church in the morning and at the orphanage in which they are staying in the evening. The guys who are there are mostly doing some type of construction work in the barios or something. Katina's dad and brother (Keanan) are there doing this. Kayla is there as well. btw- Keanan turned 14 today, the 24th! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEANAN!
Please, be in prayer for her and the rest of the team. Katina hasn't been feeling full strength but God has been reminding her that when she is weak He is strong, so pray for her to continue depending on God and that He will use her for His glory.
She would love to hear from you all out there in blogger land!! What is God doing in your lives?
Thanks!

Jesus is my best friend

Hey Y'all!

Well, Mom & Kayla leave for Asia in THREE DAYS!!! AHHH! Mom will be there a week and Kayla will be there for thirty-five days :( I don't know what I'm going to do without them. Sooo Y'all can be praying for me, that I won't go crazy with loneliness. My Father has been showing me that He needs to be my best friend and that He is all I need. It is really amazing, the peace I feel when I really do see Him as my best friend and I'm content in that. I have been really getting closer to Jesus lately, just talking with Him for FUN!! It is really a blessing to know that I have a best friend who loves me unconditionally and I can talk to Him all the time!

Love you all!

Learning patience and trust

Hey people!

Life is going as good as expected right now. Things are steadily getting better, but too slowly for impatient me:) I guess the way to learn patience is for things to go slowly. Lately,God has been teaching me to trust in His timing, and patiently wait on Him in everything. Not so fun for me, but once I started resting instead of resisting it has gotten better. It is hard for me to surrender things that I have no control over, and trust that God will work everything to His perfect plan and perfect timing. But once I do it is so much more peaceful!! I know that if God does not give me what I want, He has got something soooo much better in store for me. He has been teaching me, not to just surrender once, but I've been having to surrender to Him moment by moment. God is so good to give us what is best and perfect, and not just the things we settle for.
love you all!!

Ps. 18:1-3

This will blow your socks off!! (make sure you are insured before reading)

Hey Y'all

How is life on the other side? Haha. Welp good news ... *Drumroll* I CAN CHEW AGAIN!! YEA!!! I know that blew you away... But don't stop reading now... ( I know how could there be anything more exciting than that) I CAN COME OUT IN THE OPEN WORLD AGAIN!!! (officially starting Tuesday.) Yea! woohaa! * fireworks* *boom boom* ( That was the fireworks BTW) Exciting, huh?
God is continuing to teach me to trust in Him no matter what the situation. I have been kind of scared about coming back out, partially due to me being vain, and partially because of me feeling claustrophobic in big crowds. It's been weird, I would usually call myself a people person, but I've been having some social anxiety about going back out in public. But my Father is still in control, and still helping me with everything. Is God great or what?!!!

I look forward to seeing Y'all again!!

Love Ya,
Katina
