These times ARE NOT changin'

Today I got to go to Big kid church and act like an adult, which is sometimes hard after constantly hanging out with the coolest kids around. But it was a wonderful service. It amazes me how much I enjoy worshiping with the Lake Houston community.

Pastor preached on change today. His first question was "do any of you actually like change?", my hand immediately went up and then immediately went back down when I realized I was the only one.

He then had 3 different guys read verses about listening to God and changing there lives because of him. As soon as each verse was read I felt the emotion build up inside of me. All that was going through my head was "Why? Why God are you telling me this? Why now?"

I am always ready for change, I love those verses they push me on and remind me of my passion. But I finally in the last two weeks have realized my reason of being here right now. I have realized my mission is volunteering at the church. The new kids department has been waiting to be finished for 2 years. So I am here to finally finish it.

Right now I dont want a change.

So when this sermon began I was aggravated, not understanding why I would still want to go. But I realized as the pastor spoke, that I might not be changing by leaving but right now I am changing by staying.

By then end of the service I had no doubt I was in the right place! I know one day I will leave and when that time comes it will be perfect God timing.

Like Always.

Long time comin'

Let me start you out with a few facts: * I finally called my parents on saturday. It had been 13 days since we last talked. * It has been 19 days since my last post. * 3 months since I moved into my new apartment . Today I have finally posted the pictures. Ok. Yeah so life has been jam packed as of late. I have many exscuses, but I am just going to say dont be sad that I havent been on the internet. Because friends it has been a good thing. I needed to just live HERE for a while. With no distractions of home or other thoughts in my mind. I needed time, to focus on life here. I had gotten back into a rut again. I for some reason forgot why I was here. I was unhappy for no reason. Thankfully I gave it to God, and he my friends yanked me out. He reminded me once again why I am here, and now has really given me the passion I have been looking for here. You do not know how different my days are when I get up in the morning now. I actually want to get up. I am so thankful, because for so lon...

Soon and very soon....

This coming sunday will be a month since I have been in Krakow. I love how at the end of my last post I wrote how updates would come soon. I guess in my time, that means a month. Ha, sorry for waiting so long on telling you what has been happening here. I guess I tend to get so wrapped up in things, I forgot theres another world out there (outside of Yonkers...) Anyways, me and my roommate Katie (who is pretty much amazin' by the way) have gotten our apartment all set up, learned exactly how to get to ikea by tram and a couple buses, and we have learned where to find really really good cupcakes. But on the serious side of things the coffee shop is coming along, and everyday something is happening. Almost all of the plumbing & construction is done, there is just still lots of small things that tend to add up. Today we FINALLY got our really nice espresso machine all hooked up so now we can make the world's best cup of coffee. At least we shall try. Through connections fr...

What a year and 3 months can do...

In the past 3 weeks the shop has tripled with buisness. It has been unbelievable, exciting, and to be honest VERY tiring.  But it has been amazing to see people filling the shop at all hours of the day. All different kinds of people: Business men and women in need of a shot of espresso to get them through the day.  Tourists that heard from their tour guide that we have the best cheesecake in town :) Students cramming for their final exams, chugging down cappuccino after cappuccino. Families that were out for an evening walk, that our in desperate need of a nice cold fresh orange juice. This is what we are to our community. We are the morning wake up call, the home away from home, and always the place to come and relax.  Last night we had a "New Summer Menu Party" and we also celebrated the shop being open for a year. Actually it's been open a year and 3 months, but it just took us a little while to get the party together :) It was a gre...
