My message...

Can you believe that it's already August? I for one am excited by that. Now I can say that my mother is coming for her trip next month instead of in one month or two. I can't wait for her to meet the people in my life and I hope they feel the same, well I know they feel the same...

On a much more serious note than that I talked to my friend from home last night right before bed and I have this decision that I've been "chewing" on for a couple of weeks now and I needed an outside opinion. Definitely can't and won't get into detail about it on my blog but I've been praying about this for many weeks. The friend that I spoke to has a special "connection" with God to put it in a way... It's hard to explain. I call it a gift. She has confirmed a couple of things for me in the past. Freaky. That's one word to describe those confirmations.

It was so nice to hear and comforting what she said to me. Unfortunately to my decision...pray, pray, pray. It will come to me. That I'm ok with. But at the end of our conversation she said (and this is just how she talks) she told me this and I felt that I wanted to share it. Of course she added her own words to the mix but you'll get the message:

This is a sort of "download" from God... He's very proud of you. He said it was your time to leave Hawai'i and you listened and did. You left and knew nothing and no one. You've grown and made a life for yourself and it's awesome. From the person you were to the person you are today, completely different. You've changed and it's great.

I try to live by God. He knows our stuggles, triumphs, heads, and hearts. That's why He's awesome. He's with us every step of the way through every emotion or crisis we might be facing.

Another friend has found out that his friend has testicular cancer. All of a sudden I'm surrounded by the devistation of that word....cancer! This guy is sad because he has absolutely no family what so ever here so my friend is it. He has taken on the responsibility of being the "family" for his friend. Taking him to chemo and doctor appt. It's going to be a long, difficult, and trying time for both. Please pray for them. (My list is getting quite long...)

Updates:
My friends boyfriend who fell and cracked his skull is almost fully healed. He's been home for a couple of weeks now so thanks for all who prayed for him.

As for the position I applied for. God knows what's in our hearts and knew that Group Support was not one of them so I didn't get it. I think that perhaps there's something else out there that is for me. So for those of you that were wondering...there you go. I just found out the other day.
