The Tender Mercies of the Lord

p90x

Carly and I started p90x this past Monday and it is kicking our butts!

That's all I have to say about that.

faith.

"Each of us faces the time when the powers of reason come in direct conflict with faith. All the logic, all the understanding of men may swell in unison and there alone, in opposition, stands faith--unalterable, unassailable, unmovable--the anchor to our souls. The tides of trial can come, the ocean waves of wordly reason pound against our souls, the current and popular trends tug with all their mighty sway, but there unmoved, unfuzed, unharmed is the soul that is anchored by faith."

drum roll please...

So, I have BIG news.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE.... :)

I'm going on a mission!

I'm so excited!!!!! All of the people that I have told, with the exception of a few, have looked at me like I was completely crazy. I don't really blame them though because if someone would have told me this a year ago I would have thought they were crazy. It's funny how life unfolds so much differently then you imagined sometimes.

There's a long story that goes along with this decision, but it's a little personal. But all that's really important is that I have finally made up my mind. I definitely know without a doubt that this is something that I am supposed to do and I am so excited!

So, here is how the next two years look for me...

I'll be busy with school for the rest of this semester and next year. Next summer I'll take some classes and then WILLIE WILL BE HOME! :) I will have one more semester of school (student teaching...scary) and then I will graduate in December and leave asap after that. I really hope that I go somewhere where I have to learn a different language. That would be awesome.

If you can't tell I'm so excited!!

By the way...my sister is engaged too and I guess I'm okay with that :) just kidding, I'm so excited for her!
