[thud]
that's the sound of assignments being dropped on me like they're going out of style.
Before the end of the month is over these assignments are due:
10 page paper over Twitter's effect on war/revolt (9 days)
15 minute Spanish presentation (7 days)
Sigma Alpha Iota National Exam - history memorized; some verbatim (17 days)
History Test (5 days)
Spanish Exam (13 days)
Women's Chorus Concert (12 days)
launch a website - ICOM - (2 days)
CAP ???? I don't even know!
AND I'M SURE I'M FORGETTING THINGS...
So, In summary. Please pray for me. I am not trying to have a woe is me pity party, simply asking for prayer. After seeing all of these things I feel like I am defeated. Please partner with me to stay calm, not hate my professors and possibly that some will have mercy.. Also, that the stress does not effect me much..

Glory to God
Well, seek Him in times of praise and in trouble. Unfortunately the seating arrangements did not end up changing. I am trusting in Him that I may not feel ill on the entire trip. I have a history of being incredibly neaseaus behind the engines. We will see.
This issue also creates other issues because now when I get home I have to call Orbitz and get a refund for the Economy Plus seat I had reserved. I am incredibly disappointed in the services.
This flight has been overbooked, my seat has been given away and I will most likely end up ill. BUT! Jesus Christ is still sovereign over everything. He is Lord of all and protects me through everything.
I'll let you know I'm four hours how the flight was. Prayers for safe travels and no illness to ORD.

SEA to ORD and suspicious bibles
My farewell breakfast was biscuits and gravy at Shakabrah. Be jealous. Be very jealous. Mt. Rainer looked majestic this morning. Just floating in the clouds.
After the beautiful drive from Tacoma to SeaTac, the chaos began.
Yesterday when I checked into my flight, I noticed my seat had been changed. I continued in the process and would ask at the desk in the morning. Well, its was now morning and the question had arose again... Unfortunately, the lady at the counter could not help me but said those at the gate may be able to help. So, then through security I go!
Huh? My bag is needing checked?! So then I hastily gather my belongings and step aside. Apparently, my BIBLE was suspicious. I put it in the same exact spot as when I came. But I was freaking out for about 2 minutes.. but after a rescan all is well.
As I arrive in terminal N, I search for a restroom and Starbucks. To my relief I found both. :) Shortly after, I approached the counter and asked the nice ladies behind there. She explained that they are currently workign on another flight but in about 30 mintues, the attendants who will work on my flight will be here soon.. The only available seat on the plane is in 1st class, and this whole situation is upsetting because I had the seat reserved already. It was confirmed..
All I can do is trust in the Lord that He will provide or take care of me on the plane.. Now it is a waiting game. I just know I would love to not be nauseous for four hours as I sit in the back of the plane..

Thursday
Well, today was my last day in Tacoma. It all comes to a bittersweet end. Tacoma is definately a place I can see myself ending up..
He is doing big things.
Today, we finished up the website. In less than 12 days, Network Tacoma will have a website of teh 21st century. :) As people may complement it, please, give glory to God for the gift He has enabled me with. No glory to me.
It has been an honor to serve this whole week and literally, take a break. While I was busy every day with activites and errands and tasks, mentally this was a very relaxing break. I meet so many people, learned several new things, and most importantly have grown significantly closer to God's will and trusting Him.
Now is a season of life of waiting. I need to be perfectly content in this. For the last year, I have been asking His plan to be revealed and how I can work towards "that" goal. For the past year, there has been no answer. So I am interpreting this as a season of waiting. I am blessed with the opportunity to go to school, I am blessed with a roof over my head and food on my plate. I am so incredibly blessed, and I need to soak up these blessings and learn much in my season of waiting.
Everyone has seasons. Some of action, rest, recovery, healing and various others. In preparation for the next season of my life, I pray that I may trust Him fully in what ever His will is for my life. I desire a life of His plan, His glory, and His will. I look forward to the future when I can look back on a decision and say "I knew I should do this."
I was called to Tacoma for a reason.. In the next three years, lets figure out why.

Wait it's Wednesday
Yeah.. I'm playing the whole catchy name game.. haha :)
Today was super awesome. We went in this morning, got some web stuff done then it was already lunch time! Lunch was at Southern Kitchen. I drank sweet tea out of a mason jar.. that's one more thing to cross off my bucket list. The food was delightful there.
After lunch, we went to Shakabrah's to work on the website. Wondering what the password to the wifi was, this is the conversation we had with the staff:
(Us) What's your pa-
(Staff) Breakfast with a capital B
(Us) Okay. [looked at each other]
Then the discussion of hipsters came up and good times were had.
After Shakabrah's we went to Chambers Bay and chilled at the park.. watched the ocean, the Olympic Mountains and an amazing sunset. Also, all day long Mt. Rainer was out and shining. I was in awe all day long because it just is so incredibly gorgeous that "this isn't real life." I'm not entirely sure how many times I said that! haha. But really, Mt. Rainer was so beautiful today.
After a wonderful Wednesday, we finished it off with dinner with Paige and watching Hugo. As my week comes to a close I am really trying to savor everything God is doing and will do. I think it's too soon to say whether or not I'll be back in Tacoma anytime soon, but God definitely is going to keep me involved in Network. As I've been working on the website, I've also agreed to help update it. This, I know, will be a total blessing to Network because things can get pretty crazy around here but updating the website is something I can do that shouldn't take me too long.
I'm excited to see what the next three years of my life looks like and this time off of school has definitely been a good time to step back and examine areas that have needed attention or thought. As I plan to move forward in my life, I pray that I will take back the bold faith that is exampled here by the members of SOMA & Network and apply it to my life. That may be, perhaps, the lesson I have learned most.. Our faith is a daily commitment, something to be lived out at all moments of the day. Your faith should be you life, not just an event on Sundays or when things aren't going well.
On that note, I sign off and look forward to a day filled with technological jargon as we finish up the website and make final touches before dealing with companies to transfer hosting, emails, domains and all other things involved with a non-profit website. Please partner with me in prayers that this update into the 21st century for Network will transition smoothly and this new site will be a way to help for years and years to come.

Oh it's Tuesday?
Wow.. so much is happening in my days here.
So far today:
- good morning
- Starbucks (Tall Carmel Latte w/ Carmel Drizzle)
Network
- me time
- Staff meeting
- website
- Lunch at Fruggles with Kirstan
- errands with Kirstan
later:
DNA group
who knows!
My time here is really being used. I'm so welcomed here and it's great. He is doing great things in my life right now. I'm not sure how I can really word this but God is cultivating my heart for His Kingdom and how I can best fit in to serve. I know this sounds crazy, but can you partner with me to pray for my future? You may be feeling like that is far away but in all reality, it's within 3 years. I only have 2 years left of school, so what does that timeline look like - how do I pursue Kingdom work while using my talents I am learning in school? Also, for the relationship between Billy and I and how that will play out. I mean.. c'mon, we all know it's leading up to marriage but how does His timeline look and give us the patience, wisdom and trust to follow it. Another thing about our relationship is pray that we continue to follow the Holy Spirit in all of our actions, both individually and as a couple. Being here in Tacoma with the Landon's is really giving me a good idea of what it's like to live out God's word. Its very encouraging.

He is alive
It's true, He is alive everywhere.
It's really cool when a church becomes life. Not just like "new life" but when a church lives so intentionally that there is no separation between church on Sundays and life Monday through Saturday. The one thing I have noticed most about being here with the Landons and their friends, is that church is a daily life style. Here, the people of SOMA aren't afraid to admit that they are broken, in need, or hurting. The fear of being judged is not looming over every corner. As a church, they have a really good understanding of the grace of God that looks past our brokenness, which in turn leads the congregation to look past it's own brokenness and love each other.
All of this is as an outsider looking in, but even then, I find myself saying "I want that." I want a community that is so intentional, you are not scared to say the word God in public. He should be involved in everything.
This morning, Greg asked me what my goal was to get out of this trip, what did I want to happen inside me. I responded with transformation and a good life experience. After my day at SOMA, working with Terrah, Greg, and Kirstan, some of the SOMA ladies took me to downtown Tacoma. The conversations at dinner, and at Paige's house afterwards were so life focused. There was no shame in the name of the Lord. Just gospel intentions and intentional living. On the ride there, Mary said that it just becomes a habit. That's one good habit I hope to have one day.
I'm sure you didn't want a sermon (above) but this what has been happening. Now I know some of you wonder why did I have to go all the way to Tacoma to learn these lessons, why couldn't I just stay in Danville? Well, it has become very clear to me that SOMA is a way of life. From every aspect of the way I see their church working, I see a whole life picture, not just a place to sing songs on Sundays. It's something I really want to see implemented in my life. Also it was Sunday night as I sat upon a hill in a park in Seattle, looking at the city, the space needle, and the ocean that I began to wonder where He will put us. I began to get this comfort of Seattle. Yes, its a busy city. Yes, there is no corn. Yes, there are TONS of hills. Yes, there are tons os high ways. But my God is bigger than any obstacle man can make and if we are supposed to be in the Seattle area, I say give me the sign Lord! Now the next step is praying and waiting. Just about 2 years until we need to know..
As far as my day went, it was a lovely day overall. What started off as a typical rainy Washington day ended in a sunny & chilly evening.
- good morning!
- errands with Greg
- Starbucks (venti shaken black tea - 1/2 C 1/2 R)
- off to Network
at Network, I worked with Terrah to figure out some stuff for the food pantry that they are trying to mobilize
- Lunch @ Shakabrah's (french dip)
- website & auction work
- errands with Kirstan
- LADIES NIGHT!!!
- bedtime
I know this isn't very detailed but He is good and the lessons I've learned can't really be expressed in words...

Hello Seattle
Yes yes, I hope you heard the Owl City song in your head right now. :)
My day began by awakening at 5:30a to a bright sky (not sunny just bright) and dozed on and off until 7a.
SOMA:
Today was a wonderful sermon at about 1 Corinthians 2:2-4.
- He works through our weakness
- Though we have nothing, we have everything, we have the Lord.
- Rely and trust in the Spirit, not your ability to be "smart"
Then it was off the Seattle.
Seattle highlights included:
- Pike Place Market featuring:
"One crab, clean it!"
The transformer man
Music of course!
Shopping
- down on the water:
Starbucks (I know, I didn't go to the original one because the line wrapped around and out the door!)
Ivar's - the closest thing to Irish fish n chips I've had in America
Gum wall - yeah.. Not just a tree, a whole wall!
- this one park
At the park we had a gorgeous view downtown Seattle. The sun was setting and the city was coming to life. It was in this moment I realized I might want to live here. Not necessarily IN Seattle, but perhaps a suburb. I know the music scene is hot, I don't think finding a job will be hard, and now I'm just praying for His will to be shown. I don't care where I am or what I'm doing as long as I know it I His will. That's the whole reason I'm in Tacoma in the first place!
I am already well rested but I am off to bed once again for a wonderful day tomorrow filled with time at Network and dinner and fellowship with some of the ladies.
PS: note from yesterday, really cool coffee shop (somewhere close to me, I think) called Metronome.

Glory to God
If you don't follow me on Twitter, you should. Everyone should have a Twitter account even if you don't tweet. Anywho, had you been following me today you would have seen God working in His mysterious ways.
Delayed in IND led to me sprinting through gate C at ORD (very similar to the contestants in the Amazing Race) only to find a very much unexpected delay at my gate. This unexpected delay secured my ability to make my flight and also for my suitcase to be transferred over.
All I can say is praise the Lord.
This truly was divine intervention, and I now know what it was like for the followers of Jesus to weep in joy. When He touches your life in only a way He can, it's something truly special.
Well, tomorrow is a wonderful day filled with SOMA fun and then heading to the slightly larger city of Seattle for fungicides that include the gum wall, Pike Place, and as already stated, adventures at SOMA.
Keep posted and make a Twitter account.

IND to ORD
It's real, it's finally happening. I woke up to immediately praise Him because He made this all possible.
So.. I know you probably don't want to know everything about my morning, but I want to remember every moment. So here:
7:30a text from Orbitz, flight is on time.
then the excitement began!
8:30 arrive at IND
check in
Se-Cur-Ity! (I hope ya'll get this.. if not, watch this video at 1:30 in)
Starbucks
people mover
gate A17
I am so excited, blessed, and in general just happy! How many other college kids want to go to Seattle where there is it's cold, wet, and hardly an sun? (I'll give you a second to look around...)
No? Can't find any? Me! Sign me up, any day! I know this week is going to be amazing! I am so excited.. and I get to time travel! ;)
I can't imagine doing anything else with this week off of school.. Honestly, I am speechless and in awe. I can't say anything else that I haven't said before.... besides I managed to make a pretty sick playlist that I'm proud of.

SB 2012!
Finally!
After projects and papers and quizzes and tests have been finished, the time is here. Spring Break 2012!
Hopefully by now you are aware that I am going to Seattle to do work with Network Tacoma. I will be doing much more than just helping Network. Some of my tasks include jump starting the new website, helping to organize a silent auction and food drive, as well as "living life" with the Landon's. Unfortunately, even during my break I must complete some homework but I'm hoping my layover in ORD on my way home and the 4 1/2 hour leg from ORD to SEA each way will knock most of that out.
Through the duration of the week I will be doing several blogs. Possibly more than one a day. Check back often. :)
So, what's been going on with me lately? Well, these past 5 days have been total proof that the Spirit can carry us. Mondays are usually my hardest day, days that I dread, but I was completely carried and guided thorough it. The week had an obnoxious amount of to-dos that just kept getting crossed of faster than I could realize.
He is so good, and He provides, always.
As I reflect on the process of how this trip came to be, it was all by the guidance of His hands. Which is a glorious thing. It's really awe-some (awe & wonder not "rock on, sweet bro") to know that He blesses the work of his people, especially when it is in His glory.
Tonight, I will spend my first night home preparing to leave for the west coast. This is my first adventure alone.
Prayer requests:
- safe travels
- no complications in ticketing
- acclimation to the time change well
- SOMA (the church I will be attending) just to see how it has grown
- Tacoma as a city - that His light will shine bright. Did you know that the Seattle area is one of the least churched areas in America?
- the people I will interact with, may I build lasting friendships and relationships
- divine appointments
- that I may take every opportunity to praise Him, seek Him, and most importantly: listen to Him

So, what's been going on with me lately? Well, these past 5 days have been total proof that the Spirit can carry us. Mondays are usually my hardest day, days that I dread, but I was completely carried and guided thorough it. The week had an obnoxious amount of to-dos that just kept getting crossed of faster than I could realize.
He is so good, and He provides, always.
As I reflect on the process of how this trip came to be, it was all by the guidance of His hands. Which is a glorious thing. It's really awe-some (awe & wonder not "rock on, sweet bro") to know that He blesses the work of his people, especially when it is in His glory.
Tonight, I will spend my first night home preparing to leave for the west coast. This is my first adventure alone.
Prayer requests:
- safe travels
- no complications in ticketing
- acclimation to the time change well
- SOMA (the church I will be attending) just to see how it has grown
- Tacoma as a city - that His light will shine bright. Did you know that the Seattle area is one of the least churched areas in America?
- the people I will interact with, may I build lasting friendships and relationships
- divine appointments
- that I may take every opportunity to praise Him, seek Him, and most importantly: listen to Him
