i figured that it's probably time for me to blog...

So i have been thinking a lot about stuff, just everything. I always find myself thinking so i guess that's a good thing. So i just spent 5 days at home. My time at home was good. It was not fun at times, a bit overwhelming, and i also found myself asking where my time had gone. Although it was great because God spoke to me in a way that i did not expect. I found Him asking me to love Him with all of my heart. I have to fall in love with God and i'm not sure if i have yet. Now as i leave for Bogota tomorrow morning, i find myself wanting to love God, and figure out what it means to be a child of God. So that is what i am working on.

Now i am in Miami and these are just random things i am thinking about...
When i was home it was cold. The one night it was in the 40's... yesterday, i spend the day in the beach. I believe that it was 86 degrees out, and i got a tan. It's crazy how different the temperature is wherever you are in the world. Oh and i just checked the weather in Bogota, and it will be in the 60's and high 50's this whole next week.
Last night i went to the Lighthouse which is a small church downtown. The church was great and so homie. The speaker spoke about the Samaritan woman at the well, and he said that we need to take the monkey suit off. He also said that we need to ask the questions, and face the truth, like Jesus asked the questions and the Samaritan woman had to face the truth. This morning i went to a spanish church, which was a lot of fun. The speaker started the sermon by playing the music to Mission Impossible. He said that our mission is not impossible but instead is possible.
Traveling can be tiring. Getting here was quite adventurous for some of us. Rachel had some unfortunate happenings. Both of her suitcases had a painful experience getting here to Miami. Today we spend the afternoon "fixing" them, but we decided that only one was fixable and it would be better if she just replaced the other one. After eating at a Cuban restaurant, we 5 were off to find a suitcase. Walgreens was in sight, so we went in, and found a suitcase! We were happy, and walked out of the store all talkative and joyful. Then.... it started pouring, so we walked home in the rain soaking wet! It was quite the experience. I am so thankful for the friends that i have made that i can enjoy these experiences with, even if it means walking home wet.
