Tegan: “You know its pretty bad when after running cross practice, and getting all sweaty and gross, your so tired that you don’t feel like taking a shower because you don’t think you could stand up for that long”
Megan: laughs…..

Well...I'm
home. Africa was absoulutley AMAZING! It was mind blowing! It is so
weird to be home...sleeping in my house and being around my friends and
my church again. My heart is split in half because part of me wants to
be here at home but then the other part is longing to see those people
and that place that I left. Being gone for a month...it had felt like
home there...it really grew on me. It was so hard to leave all the
amazing people i met there...Amanda, Carrie, Ainsley, Bethany, Jeni,
Micah, David, Alysa...ahhh the list goes on. They all had such a
burning passion for God which is something I dont get to see alot
especially in people my age. Saying goodbye to them was one of the
hardest things I have ever had to do...i dont think I have ever cried
so much...and i hate crying! It is just almost surreal to be
home...I've had major jet lag which never helps much. But also Its sad
to go from such an intense feeling of God everywhere and then go home
and suddenly the atmosphere is no longer drenched with the prescence of
God. Man but me personally...wow! I will never EVER EVER be the same!
God showed himself so much to me on that trip! It was crazy....I am
SOOO BLESSED! But i was just too stubborn in the past to notice that.
Wow...I have never felt this close to, or in love with God ever....It's
amazing to just finally feel his prescence and his love and to accept
it. I have never been so...i dont even know how to explain how I feel
right now. God is good...no God is great! I am so very blessed..and I
am so happy to be home..but I do miss my family from Botswana. But
Praise God because we will keep in touch. Okay now lets recap on the
days last few events...I arrived home around 10 pm on
saturday...immediatley i went and saw my pastor...i missed him soo
much...both him Jeni and Kaela and Issac. Megan, Tony, my mom and
Steven and Carlotta all met me at the airport...i was so excited...but
really tired. Jet lag has hit me hardcore. Sunday morning I went to
church...it was good to be back. Talked up front for a few minuted and
saw all the people I had missed so much. Unfortunatley softball was
cancelled so...ehh i cant really remember what I did between that and
Mosaic at 6. Mosaic was good...and my mom came which was AWSOME! God's
prescence was so intense...I felt it so hard that i just prayed and
worshipped and prayed for most of it. it was an awsome night. After
that me, Connie, Luke, Mack, Megan and Jimbob all went and saw X-men
III at the cheapies it was quite good. Then I stayed over at Megan's
but skippped cross in the morning...well actually we slept right
through it. I feel bad for that...but I am gonna go tomorrow. I got my
haircut today...finally...Its good. We had to go get firewood and then
we had Campus Life and o yeah i finally saw Pastor Brad earlier which
was cool. Well thats been that last few days...sorry this got so long.
Im tired so I am off to bed! Over and Out!

| For some reason I havent been able to sleep these last few days and really i have no idea why. Well thats a lie...i know why...i guess it's just becuse there is so much stuff flying through my head. During the day im to busy to focus on it but at night...when its silent...thats when the thinking and the focusing kicks in. This past week has been filled with alot of ups and downs. Especially at the start it seemed like a very depressing week...but not necesarily for myself. Its like everything was put out on the table for everyone to see. Problems were exsposed that people...including myself...have chose in the past to ignore. Some have been dealt with and some have not...there has also been some sad, mad or depressed people along the way. Although for me it has been a happy week. Even at the lowest points this week i found myself still smiling within...i know that sounds real stupid but thats how it felt. I dont know if that is God but I sure hope it is...I dont think i have ever felt this peaceful, and happy, and relaxed. Im sure Jimbobs crisco, flour, and saran (???) wrap incident sure helped to make it all that much funner (i know not a word)...but something else just made me feel...like everything was gonna be okay. Even when i was stubborn or whining...sometimes to Pastor Brad...hehe...I was able to realize that I really need to count all my blessings so much more. It seems i'll only count them when everything is going perfect but really i need to remember them always. I have so many that i myself never even cared to look at. I have more than most and probably much more than i deserve. Im guessing this whole happiness thing had to come from God. I dont think it can come from anywhere else. I sure wish i would of woken up alot sooner to this and things in the past would have been a lot easier to deal with. Well now my brain is gonna have to take a rest. Have to get up at 7 to listen to Jimbob on YesFM! Ohh the things i do.....hehe....
