so...i know it has been a while, and even this little update will be extremely short...sorry.
We have been crazy busy, learning, growing, being challenged-and God is so faithful. I will write more in detail soon, but for now, here is a brief glimpse into the last few weeks
Memphis, TN
Civil Rights Museum
Kids...tons of kids
basketball
sharing Jesus' love
kids coming to Christ
moms coming to Christ
helping out at the community center
cleaning 2 giant fish tanks
first-screaming at the sight of cockroaches crawling in my bag-eventually killing them without mercy or second thought
eating carrots and grahm crackers for breakfast
watching "Bewitched"
road trip
knock-knock jokes
relay games
Chicago
five girls in a garden apartment
walking, walking, walking....and walking
passing out fliers
a carnival with over 300 kids showing up
face-painting non-stop
being caught in a rain storm, invited into someones home to stay dry-an hour long conversation about Truth
VBS
getting the material for VBS 3 minutes before it started
teaching the material for VBS
learning to be assertive
prayer
challenging
Working with Kid's Club in Cabrini
Hip-hop church service
eating lots of rice, pasta, and donated chicken
4 girls in a grocery store...sent to buy milk an bread...returning with chocolate and moostracks ice cream
waking up at 5:30am
sleeping in is 7am
being invited to eat dinner in wonderful homes
playing my guitar
drawing with charcoal on newspaper
too much caffeine
eating cereal out of cups
Roman's Road
Asking others "who is Jesus?"
good conversation
and finally
very little extended time of internet access
love you all

warn me before you go and do something like update your blog..give me some time to prepare. I nearly seized from the shock! ;)
Serious now: I miss you & I am *SO* happy to see a peek at what you're experiencing in Chicago! I hope the rest of your time this summer is as fruitful - soak it up(even if it seems so busy you're drowning in it) while you can..squeeze every experience and lesson out of your time there..stay open and pliable for God's spirit to change you! I LOVE you!

Hey, It is so cool to open your blog and not see the world's largest buffalo anymore. I know it is still there, I just won't scroll down that far. LOL
Actually I must say I am glad to see what God is doing over there--across the pond. Praying for you, love you.
By the way, feel free to check out my real blog (at the real blogging site)! xanga.com/crashingforward
