God is SO Good.

This past week has been one of my best weeks in a while. First, Saturday we had our auction for missions where we raised over $17,000!! Secondly, I got accepted into Messiah College's music program. I will be attending Messiah in the Fall. I can't believe it is happening. I've been wishing for that for 4 years!! I'm floating on cloud nine!! God is soooo Good. That's all I can say. And I'm thankful for everything that everyone has done to support me and help me get to this point. That is another reason why God is so good. He put these people in my life for this reason and has made me better. So it is 120 days until we leave for the mission trip and 153 days until I leave for Messiah.

"Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? And I said, "Here I am. Send me!" Isaiah 6:8.

Koinonia, Crabs, and Cornrows

So, I've been real busy, a surprise right? Well this week we had our monthly meeting for Senegal. (I love the meetings!!) And the Right Reverend Joanna Beske, our missionary spoke at all three services today. She spoke of about partnering in missions with missionaries. She spoke about the Greek word, Koinonia, which translates out to fellowship. I have heard that word many times but I wasn't sure of the meaning about it. After being introduced at all three services to the congregation we had a luncheon where the members going on the trip and all their family members were invited to join. We had a great time, and Joanna showed us pictures of the crabs that they have at the Kids Camp which is right on the shore line. We 'pow-wowed', or so my dad and Mr. Beske thought. They thought we were scheming about who was sleeping outside with the crabs. We were actually talking about the fashion over there and what we should bring and wear. Then it was brought up that we could have cornrows in our hair, which I'm not doing my whole head....And we could also get henna tattoos. Imagine me coming home with henna around my ankles. It was a really great day, though I was on little sleep from my show the night before, it was all good. Because God is Good!

God Bless!
