Pretty much...i'm giving up my xanga. And myspace. Sorry, all. It's just too weird for me. It seems like i waste so much time on the stupid things. I hardly ever post on this anymore.

Anyway, God is good. Do I tell you that enough? Well i should. And you should tell that to everyone you know. God is good and His strength is my provision. I love Jesus.

I love other things, but God is proving that my love for him comes first and foremost.

I am also learning to sacrifice. And let me tell you........it's hard. When you give God the one thing that means the most to you, He will reward you more than you can imagine. Faith is trusting in that which I cannot see or predict. That's ok, i'd rather let God do it anyway. He's better at that whole future thing.

So let me leave you with this... Go serve God. Get your hands dirty. Sacrifice. Love without holding back. Let go and let God. Breath and love life. Love others. But most of all, Love God.

Peace and chicken grease.

This is officially my second post of the summer. Time flies when you're having fun.

I'm sitting here in my own little piece of heaven....my apartment at the Children's Home, typing away on my little laptop, looking out the window and seeing the sudanese kids riding around on their bikes and making a huge fuss.

Oh, how I love life.

This summer has proven:

1. The faith of children is what i long for.

2. God can use children to make me grow up.

3. I love this internship.

4. I love working with youth. Absolutely love it.

5. I have grown up. I have put the childish ways behind me. No longer to I fuss and whine, but I look towards the future and what God has in store for me, never missing the opportunities set before me.

I absolutely love this place. Yes, I am excited to go "home." Wherever that may be. We've all heard the phrase "Home is where the heart is." It's more true than anything i've ever heard (besides Jesus, of course). My home is where my best friends, family, and favorite people are. No matter where that may be. I guess i'm just flexible. I do miss all of my friends and family, and can't wait to see them, but it's pretty sad that my ministry in memphrica is almost over. I'd love to come back down here next summer, but I am leaving that door to God and waiting for Him to open or close it.

Just a few favorite things said by the kids:

**well Hunter is a christian and he still does bad things!

**you a monkey. OR you a turkey. (spoken by a 2 year old)

**miss caitlyn, you're crazy (spoken like a true genius)

**missah caitalyn, are we-a gonna go-a swimminatoday?

Stay tuned for more...

I'M DONE AT RICHLAND!!!!

So far i've gotten an A in organic chem, and a B in music. that's all I know so far. Hopefully the other two classes were A's too! We'll see.

Lane and I have been staying at Kevin and Lauren's house while they are on their honeymoon, so we've been having a grand old time! Last night Lane went to hang otu with some friends, and I was back at the house by 8 to watch American Idol...and it felt so nice just to sit by myself, relax, and talk to justin. Man, I don't think I've actually just sat for a long time. My legs liked me for that :) Anyway, Tomorrow is my graduation at the Civic Center, then we are going out to eat after. Anyone is more than welcome to come to the graduation...I just haven't been announcing it because we aren't having a party or anything. So it will probably be pretty boring!! This weekend justin and i are going to springfield and Sunday is the graduate's recognition at church. Next week is my last week here!!! eeeeeee!!!!! Thursday is my "ice cream crawl" at work for my going away thingy, and that will be my last day of work! I am so excited!!! Friday I'll be shopping and packing, and that weekend I'll probably just be hanging out with my family.

I've been so busy lately that I haven't really had time to talk to many people!! So hey everyone! Consider this your warm greeting from me :)

pee esss....I miss you, kim cox and I can't wait to see you soon!!
