friends....

friends, can i ask you to help pray for me? tonite was a rough nite for me....it seems like this year is just getting off to such a rough start for me. i cried and cried tonite. i felt so helpless. but after talking to my dad, i knew his words held truth in them. he told me to welcome hardship and troubles into my life because that meant i got a chance to carry Jesus' cross.

i needed to hear that because i haven't been wanting to carry His cross. ive been wanting to be out in the audience gazing at Jesus from afar when He had to bear the cross. why should i have to know what hardship in life is? why can't He just make my life easy for me? I NEVER SEEM TO CATCH A BREAK! but i knew wat my dad was saying was true. God's refining my character during these difficult times. its just that it's soooo hard. and i dont want to go thru difficult times to grow in Christ. i just want Him to take a magic wand and make my life easier for me.

as you can see, i need to be humbled. i need to welcome adversity in my life because i know that He's breaking my heart for what breaks His. im still learning so much....

thanks for reading this.....

we honestly cant wait to see our dearest friends as well. i know you guys already know it, but you guys are some of our friends we hold closest.

Johan and i have a weird relationship, where we just like to be around each other. sometimes awkwardly so, not really knowing what to say to each other but just really enjoying each others company and ideas.

we will be spreading our time out over the summer between the three places we hold most dear...3 weeks in IL, 2/3 more in MN and one in Denver.

cant wait to see you guys.
