i write this with mixed feelings, on the one hand i realize i'm incredibly blessed, even though my roomie has left i still have amazing friends, i love the kids that God has allowed me to spend time with, i love coaching soccer, ive had amazing travel experiences recently and ministry is going so well (we have like 35 kids coming to club each week...more than 10% of the school!)
but if i'm being honest its been a really tough week. really tough. i feel like ive been hit hard by external circumstances. hard things have happened with my family that makes me desperately wish i could be home. ive lost donors in our crappy economy. ive recently found out even more of my close friends will be deployed to places like afganistan and iraq. i miss my roomie. and the weather is miserable...cold, gloomy and raining or snowing.
but God is still good. and the cool thing is that i really believe that. i led worship yesterday for the hospitality house (where i go to study) and it wasnt even hard to worship because i know that God is still worthy of my worship. so i guess thats good.
but if you think of it please pray for me. its just really tough.


on a happier note here are some pictures from a couple weeks ago that i finally pulled off my camera. they are from training and soccer and london i think.
