Craziness and All of that!!

So, I have had one whirl wind weekend, but that has been about the norm lately..
First, I have to post this funny pictures of my cat Sam.. Let me give you some background.. So I had a birthday party for two of my friends on Friday night, and another one my friends brought over some balloons for decorations and such.. Well, sam was after those balloons!! He would grab the ribbon and his mouth and walk around the house with them until he would open his mouth and they would go flying out which just te-ed him off.. So he would go get another color, and when that dang balloon would fly off he would just sit and scream (in a cat scream, if you can imagine) at them.. Me and my friend thought it was the funniest thing ever..

























Also this weekend, I had a team building event for all of us on the Poland Mission trip.. It ended up being a great day!! The sun came out (finally) and the clouds cleared away to a beautiful blue sky!! We did a trust exercise, were you lead someone around blind folded. Well, when I was blind folded all my partner could use was touch, no words.. That was scary, I am such a klutz, we had to climb over a picnic table blind folded, it is a miracle I didn't fall!! Then we did this even were you are knotted together and have to figure out together how to get untied, well, me and Bobby got out first, just the really hard way!! There are definately some black mail pictures there!! But it was good for some laughs. The we got presents from the missionaries in Poland. The sent us some food (all yummy, Poles like Chocolate!!), map and a childrens games to help us learn Polish. Then we each got a postcard, a child's book to learn our colors, and us women got Amber necklaces. It was very touching. I am getting more excited and sacred every day!!








I am posting the words to one of my favorite songs.. "The Voice of Truth" by Casting Crowns.
I think they really convey's how I feel about life and this trip right now.. Just a bit defeated, and sacred, of getting out of my comfort zone! "Let Go, Let God!"

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
on to the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown
where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand

But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy, you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

Chorus:
But the Voice of Truth
tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes
to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name
And he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling meTime and time again.
"Boy you'll never win!""You'll never win!"

Chorus:

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
On top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me!
