Almost 3 months! Can you believe it?

Lately I have defiantly been feeling the love of my friends and family around me here in Humble or  more exact Atascocita Texas.  Yesterday I was invited by my very kind Pastor to talk with him for a few minutes during both morning services.  He asked me different questions about my trip, and even about my calling. Which worked out well since his sermons was all about listening to God's call on your life. 

But as I stood there looking out at my amazing church I felt loved. From day one of coming to LHCN it has always felt like home to me. Ever since then, every time I come back, I immediately feel there warm arms around me. I am so glad that I have had this last year to really enjoy my church. To soak up everything from the unique worship to the craziest and silliest kids known to man. 

I love that I have the full support of my church comforting me and helping me get ready for this mission on my life. 

This time preparing to leave has been so drastically different then when I was preparing for Albania. I now know what is important: lots and lots of good jeans and whats not: tons of fancy shoes I will never wear. 

I am also taking in every single moment with my family I can. Last time I had absolutely no idea how much I would miss them. So it is very strange preparing to go again, knowing life is hard away from your family. But I know like always God will provide me with a new family and friends there :)

On thursday I am leaving for a few days hanging out in Disney World with my mom, brother, sister in law,  and so so cute nephew Elijah! Can not wait to have tons of fun with the fam!

This makes me so excited for you!!! You have no idea. That is awesome about that church making you feel welcome and all. I hope there are going to be churches out there that will want to take me in and help me, even though I'm not going through mission corps. That kind of makes me a little nervous, talking to Naz churches and them as me why I'm not going through mission corps. BAH. I'm going to stop worrying rigggghhhtttt...NOW! *Poof*

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...
