Kelly Says It Big

heylo.

i'm still alive. just been busy and i've now gotten a myspace(so sad), but i did do it. so i've been trying to update that and chat w/ a lot of people that way as well.

it's been going very well here. we're constantly meeting new people and really making lasting relationships.

we've been busy w/ prayer meetings, waffle outreaches, we went to a debate regarding "Intelligant Design" last night at the student center, and we've really had some great times talking and hanging out w/ norwegains. they're so great. i say this almost every day i think, but it's really true.

**funny story**
so we were so kindly invited to go to a tea party after the friday service. my 1st question was, is this going to be lame? haha i was invisioning a bunch of girls sitting around drinking tea. which would be fun, but i was up for something a bit different. but to my surprise, all were invited and it wasnt' going to be 'lame'!! so we walk in the door and there are 50 people packed into this living room. ALL DRESSED UP! we were the only ones not dressed up. so...apparently we didn't get the memo. 'cause it was a "T" party. everyone was dressed up in costumes that started w/ the letter "T". HAHA it was great. so...to improvise, we were the "TEAM", dorky i know, but i guess it works... regardless of our lack of goofy apparel, we had a great time!

i do have to say that we're still in the process of adjusting though. sometimes i forget that we've been here for 2 months already! yet other times it seems like there is so much more to go w/in a 2 year period. there are obviously challenges all around the board, but I've really been learning from everything that has come our way, good and hard.

we're truly wanting what God wants. and we have no real idea what that looks like, sounds like, or how to go about it. we've hit some walls, but we've had some amazing times in prayer and vision casting as well. it's always a process. back to the drawing board after a divine conversation w/ someone. back to the drawing board after you're feeling burnt out already. back to the drawing board when you're longing for intimacy w/ God and it's hard to make time for it...

these are all things that we wouldn't have known prior to actually being here. maybe faced back in the states, but it's simply just a different feel here.

so overall, it's been good. it's a journey, and i guess we can choose to enjoy it regardless of what happens or complain and ask God why or why not? i don't think these questions are bad to ask, but sometimes i need to realize He's truly in this, even if i can't feel it or understand it. but...We're here. He made a way. HE's provided! He's been so faithful. HE's given us amazing blessings since we've arrived. friendships that are awesome! HE's SO GOOD! This IS for a reason, and HE knows. I can have faith and trust in HIM. He is my strength.

PRAYER REQUESTS!!
*we're having a block game (Kubb) competition this Saturday. Pray that the weather will be nice for people to come and hang out.
