| Kaleo: to call
Apathy is something that I cannot understand. Especially when it's misplaced.
In the past, I have been excited to go on summer mission trips. I was pumped the year we went to Minnesota. But, when we got there I was a little let down. Do you ever get super excited, but then when you get to that point, its just not exciting anymore. Maybe in the past I have just gotten excited about getting excited. Does that make any sense?
But, I just realized that apathy is very necessary in these situations. Before I came to college, I didn’t really care where I lived or who my roommate was, much less what I was going to major in or who I was going to meet here. I now know this feeling was essential to my success in college life and played a major part in the growth I've experienced over the past year. Because I didn’t have a set expectation, God moved and worked in my life more than I ever could have expected.
With that, I come to this summer. Kaleo. It’s worth being pumped about, but I’m going out of my way not to expect too much. If I expect this summer to be..say..a blank piece of paper, how much more worthwhile and fulfilling will it be when God turns it into a masterpiece I cannot envision? Then to whom will I owe all credit besides God?
Please pray that God will answer some questions for me this summer. And that I can learn to effectively share the Word of God with girls in Hughes next year.

| i feel alone in this
whatever happened to common courtesy? and respecting friends? and having good attitudes? and doing what is right? the people i used to know...where did they go? did i do something? what can change a person so drastically? what makes a person choose to go a certain way?
do i expect too much from people? or have i become prideful and conceited? did i hurt you? anyone?
i know one thing. friendships come and go, and come and go and go and go...but there is one friend i will always have. Christ..My Rock. people change. attitudes change. i change. Christ does not change...
i do not feel alone in that

oh and i quit the daycare because i am a pushover...who woulda thought.. | | |
| Things are hardly ever what they seem.
I still work at a daycare and its helping me with my patience.
I've been trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up...but every time I think I have a good idea for a fun or rewarding career, God reminds me of His plans for my life, plans that will bless me so much more than anything I could ever do on my own. I know that if I were to chase after my own aspirations I would fail. I'm waiting for directions on where to go from here.
oh.. i love you!
here are some pics for those of you who care. :)
  
good times...good times. i'm bored. i have to watch this movie for class.

try exodus 33:7-11. God is BIG. That's why we don't understand it all. | | |
| I’ve wandered far away from God,
Now I’m coming home;
The paths of sin too long I’ve trod,
Lord, I’m coming home.
My soul is sick, my heart is sore,
Now I’m coming home;
My strength renew, my home restore,
Lord, I’m coming home.
Coming home, coming home,
Nevermore to roam;
Open wide Thine arms of love,
Lord, I’m coming home.
I know its good to get away from what you're used to and push yourself. I know it is.
But sometimes I feel so alienated from everything that I can't seem to relate to anyone.
Its good to get back to a comfortable place, full of love, now and then to ensure such
a place still exists.

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" Matthew 6:25-27
