because i am actually writing on the blog. sooorrrryyyyyy i haven't until now but life has really just taken off and i haven't really had time to write on the blog.
okay scratch all that. i have had time to write on the blog. but i never could think of anything good to say, or i would start writing a post and then have to leave to go somewhere cause i forgot i had something, or what i wanted to say wasn't sounding good on paper (blog paper? screen paper?). i guess i just need to say what i need to say. (yes, im listening to Say by John Mayer while writing this.)
ANYways. i guess ill say what everyone else is saying. I miss you all. A lot. Life just isn't the same withough you guys in it 24/7. There isn't a day that goes by that i don't think about every single one of you and what we would have been doing at that time of the day. I still can't believe i spent an entire two months in a foreign country with 10 other people speaking a different language half the time and now im back to my old, english speaking, busy as ever life, and you all are not here to share it with me.
(fyi. i just wrote two paragraphs. and then deleted them. not what i wanted to say. oh goodness. maybe ill just tell you about my life. here goes.)
August was absolutely crazy / amazing / awesome / hard / sad / worth it / filled with missing everything. Half of the time what was going through my head had no room for missing guatemala cause i was so busy with life. August was filled with jumping right into Admin for our Youth Ministry and then going on our 5 day Youth Retreat and then leaving straight from there to go on vacation where i ended up getting the stomach bug. Lamest vacation ever. Oh well. I came home and jumped right into nannying for four year old twins, who are sooo much fun but actually really tiring. So i treasure wednesday evenings when i get off work and have a five day weekend.
September was work work work. and then it was gone.
October was work work work work. and too many youth things to remember. The last two weeks of October if i wasn't nannying i was working at the church getting ready for our annual Harvest Party. Safe to say i will never ever forget how to get to Sams Club, Whole Foods, Stadlers Nursery, or Wal-Mart. And they all happen to be the furthest distance away from eachother as possible. But it was all worth it in the end when I was sitting around an I-hop table at 1 in the morning with the best Admin Team in the world.
And then October, too, was gone.
And now its November 6th. and hopefully this time next year i will have been in Africa for the past 4 months. I'm praying about going there for 6 months to a year. Our church is planting a church there in North Africa and im thinking about going and (surprise!) taking care of the church planters children so they an focus on establishing a christian church in a country that doesn't want one. So pray for me as i seek to do God's will in this.
But Guatemala forever is in my heart. I miss it constantly every single day and many nights i long to be back there with children climbing up on me and wanting me to hold them and comforting them. And just loving them. Because i do. I love them so much.
And i love you all so much. Hope November has gotten off to a swell start. Come visit me. I have a Pollo Campero in my mall.
