Well the last few weeks have been crazy! And I feel like my life never slows down, but I have learned some pretty awesome stuff in these last busy weeks.
I was so blessed to go on a girls retreat with my advisory at Valor! One of my advisors has a ranch up in Silver Thorn, and let's just say it's a piece of heaven on earth. I love Colorado because of the mountains and on this retreat I felt like for the first time I realized how beautiful the mountains really are. In my head I just kept saying, "God created that!" Like how awesome is it that God can make a mound of land and make it so beautiful, like its just dirt but it has a blissfulness about it. But finally we reached the ranch in Silver thorn and the house was completely stunning. My jaw totally dropped when I saw it. Us girls tried counting the bedrooms and we got like 17? it was so insane! The prettiest country house I've ever been to. The first night we went swimming in the indoor pool! Like my mind still can't comprehend it haha. The next day we went snowmobiling, which is the best thing you could ever do in winter and I highly suggest it, although it's SUPER scary and I almost fell off.. but hey what's life without a little bit of adventure? We also went horseback riding which was totally cool, but I don't think I'm going to become a pro anytime soon... haha. I also felt super awkward when the horse started peeing while I was riding it.... like I wouldn't want someone on my back while I'm doing my business hahahah. So as you can see it was an amazing time! and it was extremely nice to get away for a little while. Oh and P.S. It was called TYL ranch. Thank You Lord. And I totally understood why they called it that:)
With the play at Valor coming up, my life has been school, rehearsal, eat, homework, sleep. Repeat. hahah it's totally time consuming but I am so loving being apart of something at Valor. All the theatre people are awesome and totally insane hah but I love it. And I can't believe the first show is in like 2 weeks? Ah! so soon! I feel like we just started rehearsing! But this play is going to be soooo out of this world! I can't wait to do my film part where I get to wash Jesus's feet with my hair! haaaa nott. But whatevs I'll get over it.. ha. I know that this play will impact so many lives and I'm hoping it will bring some peeps to Jesus:) Love it.
Nicaragua trip is in like 4 months?! Feels like a long way away but I know it'll be here soon! We had our first meeting yesterday and my Gozo group is totally awesome. And for this trip I get to start a new journal so I was very very happy! hah. But I have been totally stressing about the money part of the trip:/ I have sent the support letters and I am just praying that all the people I sent it to will be generous and supportive for the trip. But there is like this little doubt in my mind, and it's like God is so much greater than money and I have to keep telling myself to stop worrying. If God wants me in Nicaragua, he will get me to Nicaragua. I don't know why I doubt so much when he's come through many times before. I just need to really believe that he has the plan and he is the one in charge, not me.
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself."
Matthew 6:34
"Give thanks always and for everything."

God has been so good to me and I am so grateful for his blessings:)
