"I just want to brag about the fact that I got raptured"

Wow.  
Ron's message tonight was amazing.  It was the kind of message that makes you want to leave the church doors and go out to really live for Christ, even if that means dying for him because it was the kind of message that makes you not afraid to die.  As a Christian, I know where I am going when I die...how amazing is that?  I get to meet the creator of the universe when I leave this life.  It makes me want to devote every second of my time here to absolutely great, God glorifying things so that when I do meet this majestic God of mine He will be able to look at me and be proud.  He will call me his good and faithful servant and this love that I am striving to comprehend will become transparent and tangible for me.  I can't wait for that day, my prayers tonight will be consumed with requests for the rapture to happen asap.  Until it does however, I am anxious for Hume and really feeling my heart prepare for Africa.  If I haven't said it enough, I can't wait to go and be the hands and feet.  I'm so blessed to have the opportunity to go serve others in need and I praise God for it.

I am going to miss Ron SOOOO much.  I love his messages.  Not only do they add gasoline to my flames, they make me want to spread those flames like wild fire.  There are a few people I have in mind when I think about "spreading the flame" and they are in my prayers constantly but above and beyond that I start thinking about missions.  1040 window missions.  People who have never heard the name of Christ missions.  For now they are still just thoughts but God is recurrently putting them in my head and my heart.

Well, time for bed because tomorrow is t-shirt making, gym, hw, melting pot and Jacquee and Amanda time!  Yay :)

You are such an inspiration sweet girl, you do spread Jesus just when you walk into a room with your enthusiasm and your smile! What a great opportunity to share what God has blessed you with to go out and be his hands and feet! I am so excited to hear all your stories from Africa when you come home and so proud of you for seizing the moment and knowing this will be such a time for growth in your life. Love you!!
