Ahhh! Blog!

Oh hi!
Miss me?
Not really?.. Well, I don't blame you. I've never really been a blogger. I do the whole facebook- quick few words of an update, kay done! type blogging.
But something like this is important from time to time to allow thoughts to flow and take concrete forms.
As an update, I'll be leaving Sunday to do Orientation for Thomasville and will be working there again this summer right after.
My biggest fear is that I'll go in expecting this summer to bring as many gifts as last summer did.
What I'm hoping will happen is the relationships I started to form last summer will regain themselves quickly this summer and allow even more of God to flow through me and into these kids, that the new kids I don't know will see how much the old ones trust me and be less wary because of this so that I won't have to start over from Square 1. I'm also hopeful that the mistakes I made last summer can be avoided this summer because I'm more aware of the system.
But I'm too worried about MY will for this summer when it should be HIS will I'm focused on. If things don't go exactly as I have planned, will I be disappointed? I think I might. And that's really not fair.
As always, prayer is requested and updates will hopefully be made.
After Thomasville, I'll be doing a round of International Missions that I'm incredibly excited about. Traveling has always been a passion but I rarely have the funds to go through with these ideas I have. Fortunately, most of the cost for my trips will be covered (how blessed I truly am) because I'm going in the name of Jesus to do minor missions in these places. Last on the long list of traveling places is Sao Paulo, Brazil and I'll be staying some extra days there to get in the tourism that I'll miss out on in these other locations.
Busy, busy, busy.
I hope to lose 2 sizes before going back to Wingate. Hold me to it.
Music- The Avett Brothers- The Ballad of Love and Hate
Crayola Doesn't Make A Color For Your Eyes-
Bon Iver (We have a love/hate relationship)
Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)
John Mayer Concert- July 16th!!! I'm 7 rows from the stage!!! Train opening.
Minor rant- JM has 3 bands opening for him, alternating tour days. These are The Avett Brothers, Train, and Owl City. I ADORE Avett Brothers and Owl City. I only know a handful of songs by Train, none of which I'm incredibly stoked over hearing live (sorry all you Soul Sister fans, I really don't care too much for that song... it's ok I guess) It'll be ok, though. JM will exceed my expectations as always.
