Tea as a way of life.

Crazy life I'm living here at the Foundry. I'm constantly busy with teachings, reading, journals, and prayer.
God is so strong in our house! My roomies are all great! They are all different and we each bring our own things to the table...God is our common factor.
I'm learning lots, having several reading assignments, and am constantly in some new ministry! Did I mention that were only on day 3?
I drink tea 4 to 5 times a day, and love it ith milk in it! :) I'm not good even faking the accent....
All in all, God is great and He is taking me on an adventure I cant even begin to imagine...

Taking Flight!

After an amazing time with Rebekah and Hollie driving to Miami, we parted ways and I began my journey.
I left Miami International at 8:45pm, and had an awkward, and uncomfortable flight with an older fella next to me that didn't smell the greatest... but God kept me safe, and the flight wasn't as long as I thought it would be.
I had a five and a half hour layover in London and basically slept in a row of chairs the whole time.
So far the food ain't the best... guess the rumors were true :/
Tomorrow the rest of the house gets here and i'll meet my roomate, and all my house mates! Then were going to a BBQ... wonder what Brits think is BBQ? lol!
All in all, I'm excited for whatever God has for me here! Its already cold, and now I'm the one with the funny accent.... but my God is good, and He definety has something special for me!

Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow...

Three parties in three days. Saying goodbye is harder than most people think. At this point, I'm completely exhausted, and overwhelmed with the arduous task of packing. Who was the idiot that put a 50lb weight limit on luggage anyway? As I set my affairs in order (paying one last traffic ticket, making bank deposits, cleaning out, and putting everything in storage) its kind of hitting me that I'm leaving. Dont get me wrong, I'm still so excited, and completely confident in God, its just that now that Ive said goodbye, there are some people of whom I wont see again for a year. It kind of makes it more real. I've only known for 6 months now that I would be leaving. I've answered the same questions about my trip over and over again so many times that it feels much longer than that. It was almost like it would never come, like something I just talked about happening in the future...and now this is it! I'm here! :)
I guess it's more surreal, because I thought I would never get here, never get to actually say goodbye. And now that I have, it's kind of bitter sweet... I love my friends, family, and all of the supportive people in my life. I pray I reflect a little bit of all of them in the things I do, and ALOT a bit of God.
So here it is... my last goodbye. I love you. A-DIOS.
