Oh man.. Im not even in Mexico yet.. but I was just so excited about this whole blogging thing that I just couldnt wait that long. At the moment its 1:57am .. which is kind of a lie.. because I set my clock 10 min fast ..due to me not really waking up and always being late places. You would think that since I know that its 10 min fast that it really wouldnt help my situation, but have no fear! If you really know me you know that in the mornings im not really all together so my mind doesnt really process things till one of two things happen.. I get some decent coffee in me ..or an hour or two pass after I have been awakeish.. and if you didnt know that or dont know me that well but find me intresting.. you now know that I am not a morning person and I will usually bite your head off if you try to talk to me as soon as I wake up. For your own sake do not try to amuse yourself with the thought of getting me going in the morning.. just ask my sister. bad things will happen to you.
As far as my trip goes im trying to prepare and get ready ..its so hard packing. Especially when packing for a year. I have trouble packing for a week so you can imagine me trying to pack for a year. The real kicker here is that everything has to fit into two suitcases AND weigh under 50 lbs. Im a shoe addict. I have over 50 pairs of shoes ..yes over.. this also includes slippers..fyi ANYWAYS I am having to pick and choose which shoes to bring with me I mean im going to be doing some crazy stuff that my purple stillettos just arent cut out for.. I almost feel guilty leaving some of my shoes behind They are like my children I love them so! lol
Im really excited to go grocery shopping down there. Why? I dont really know I just like grocery shopping. One of my many goals is to find a Walmart down there. I have already located a Panda Express and have learned how to say orange chicken in spanish. just so you know.
Im really excited to see where God plugs me in at and how he will use me to show his love. God is such a cool person. Sometimes I think He throws me a curve ball just to get a laugh.
Usually when things are thrown at me or I start to get on that like this is what I have planed for myself kinda path and some sort of something changes MY plans I sorta freak out a little. and run around like a chicken with its head cut off. and then when God reveals HIS plans for me im like Ohhhh........... wow.... your way is way more awsome (and probbly easier) than the way I was planning on taking. Thats how my whole adventure started. I wasnt even planning on going anywhere to school. I went on another Mexico Missions trip with the Youth Group and ..nothing... like.. huge or spectacular had slapped me. Then I got home and I felt this really strong urge to look into Baja Bible School again .. (I had looked at it a couple times a long time ago) and I totally hardcore felt God TELLING me to send in an application. So I did and I was like ..Ok God. I did it.. if this is what you want from me Ill do it. So ... like..... FOREVER later I finally got a letter in the mail. I was at work at the time and had not told anybody about this whole adventure...so it was kind of hush hush.. but my mom and sister just couldnt wait to see .. SoOoOoOo we opened it..and there it was .. Megan we are happy to tell you that you have been excepted into Baja Bible School. We look forward to meeting you! .... I didnt know rather to be happy.. or sad or anything! I was in such a state of shock.
After work I got home.. and I just wanted to cry. I knew that this was the sign that I had asked for.. I knew that God wanted me to go. Only probblem was.. I didnt want to. those next few days were tough.. All I could think about was leaving my friends, my jobs, my church, and my family and let me tell you man.... it wasnt cool. Some how some where in the days following he changed my heart and calmed my nerves and was like.. why are you freaking out Megan? Arent I big enough? Thats when I kinda realized HEY ..its alright. This is the adventure of a lifetime ..and he choose ME to be His tool in the crafty work He has in store for His people in Tijuana. As time draws closer and closer I cant wait. Im so excited that im bursting at the seams. So im going to sign off now but I hope you enjoyed this first blog and in advance please forgive the terrible grammer and spelling errors C; I get so excited that I just keep typing C:
Till next time,
Meg
