Wow I haven't posted on here in about a month! A lot has happened in this month, so let me just give you a recap of whats been happening.
On November 21st MY BEST FRIEND surprised me at school. She is New Zealand. If you want to see my reaction check it out on facebook. there was a lot of screaming and crying. She is here until the end of January. I am beyond blessed to have her here. AND she has been staying in NH like 40 minutes away from me so i see her at church and all through the week. It has been so very awesome and even if it was only one day i got to hang out with her i would be ecstatic. but its been more so you can imagine my excitement!
On November 23rd I left for thanksgiving and my internship. That day i had a 3 hour lay over in Boston and had the opportunity to reach out to a older woman. It was such a great moment.
November 24th was thanksgiving! It was so great to be with my family. I am so glad i can be the one they look to, to say the thanksgiving blessing every year. :) Its a blessing to me to be in that position. I also actually sat down and had a great conversation with my mom and aunt.
I went to my internship on the 26th i believe. It has been great. i have been able to do many things in the corps. From counting kettles to running the Christmas Castle. I have had opportunities to chat with people coming into the food pantry. It has been a blessing to be here and grow in my own strength. Now don't get me wrong there have been some not so great moments since being here. Especially since it is kettle season. There is a lot of stress and not enough sleep. But it has still been great.
On November 12th i had a great opportunity to reach out to some people at the laundry mat and tell them a bit about The Salvation Army. I am praying for those two people and i would ask that when you have times like that you do the same. I don't know anything really about there lives but God has really laid it on my heart to pray for them.
On November 15th I was having a really tough day thinking about Justin and things i will be facing when i go home, and my BFF came and stayed over so she could be there for me. I suppose the great thing about all of that was that even if she wasnt here i know i could count on her to be there somehow for me. We got to spend an extra unexpected night together and i felt so blessed. we were able to pray down at the beach last night and really just go to God together with our trials and troubles. What a blessing, eh?
I suppose that is about it thus far. I am looking forward to going home and spending time with friends and family this Christmas season. I know i will be blessed and i am very much looking forward to all of the things that will happen.
I hope all of you reading this have a marvelous Christmas and New Years! I will post again when i get back to school in January. Blessing on all of you!
