NC visit
I got to go home his past weekend because I was in my friend Amanda's wedding. It was wonderful! Unfortunately I didn't really take many photos of the bride from my phone (which I'm writing from at the moment), but I have a couple other fun photos to post.
It was a good weekend, but definitely a whirlwind! I don't know if I would win a bridesmaid award, haha, because I didn't even get to stay with the bride and bridesmaids the night before the wedding because I offered to take my friend Stephon home (the two places were across town from eachother). And I didn't get to see my mom as much as I would have liked because of the wedding. But overall I enjoyed myself, because it was good to see family and high school friends.
Below are some photos from the wedding. We got these little fun foam mustaches to play with, hehe. The bride and groom didn't smoosh the cake in eachother's faces, so I think she was rejoicing over that. Sry for the somewhat poor photo quality.

isaiah 43 and a new path
I have really not written in a long time, which is a shame! I think a lot has happened in my heart since last December.
This spring and summer, I have developed a new interest and passion: I want to go serve overseas in China teaching English. Of course, I want to discern this calling--I plan to wait and go next year. I have already started looking into a program to go with, and they have been very helpful and caring. I think that I have picked the right group. :)
At the beginning of the summer, I opened the Word to Isaiah 43, and broke out in spontaneous worship. I worshiped God because of who He is--a Mighty Redeemer, who gathers his children that have been scattered. He is ever-present, holding our hands as we pass through difficulty. He never leaves us. We are honored and precious in His sight. We are His witnesses--who else will tell those that are blind and deaf that they have a Healer, a Redeemer, a Lord?
My favorite part is this:
"Remember not the former things,
nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43:18-19
I am believing this to be true for me--later in the passage it says that Israel has not called upon the Lord, and we have made Him weary with our sins. I think this past year was not good, and I have made many mistakes. But for His own sake I think the Lord blots out my sin (v.25)--praise to the Lord Jesus! I pray that it is true that He is doing a new thing.
If anyone reads this, please pray for me that the Lord will be working anew in me this coming year. I want to go where He wants me to go, and if this idea to go to China is my own fabrication, let it be sooner rather than later that I let go of it, and pursue instead what He wants. But if it is from God, that I would pursue Him with all abandon and joyfully accept the calling He has put before me.
