Best. Day. Ever.

Guys. Today I have been blown away. I mean seriously. God is amazing!

For starters, today was beautiful. Blue skies, 80's. B-e-a-utiful. I mean how do you not look at a day like today and see Him in it? To me it screams "HEY WORLD I LOVE YOUUUU!" And makes me want to scream back "HEY I LOVE YOU TOOOOOOO!" It also makes me want to go sit outside and just soak in the beauty He placed around me.

Today I saw my adviser about summer school. I found out that I am going to take a Maymester, and the first summer session. This means I can go to Nigeria for the entire month of July! And with my mom! Let's recap because those two sentences mean a whole lot and I want to make sure you're following me. I'm going back to Nigeria. I get to see those sweet beautiful faces that I long to be with. That every part of me wants to hug and hold just about every second of the day. I get to go back to a place that feels so much like home it's weird. AND my mom gets to come? She gets to also see those sweet beautiful faces. She gets to hold their hands, play games and love them right along with me. God is good. I don't know how to contain myself. For most of today, now yesterday, I just wanted to yell, jump, cry, and sit in His presence thanking Him. And believe me I did all of those and more.

I talked to always wonderful Kara Rainwater on the phone today! It always fills my heart with joy to talk to her. If only you knew how much she means to me! I just love that over the course of our almost two year friendship we have only spent about 2 months and 2 weeks actually together. And yet she's kinda like my other half. The gina to my beans. Kara please tell me you read that last sentence and laughed, since only you would understand it. :] Guys I can't stress enough how much I love this girl.

I got to spend time with a dear sweet friend who I love dearly and haven't seen in far too long! Shout out to Cam! It was so great to just sit and hear about his life. Truly a wonderful hour or so.

I had some delicious root beer. For those who don't know I love root beer! It's one of my favorite drinks! Martin and I went into a candy store on the square that has so many different kinds of root beer it's crazy! Our new goal is try them all. Two down, lots more to go.

Tonight was our outreach at Crave! One of my Chinese friends from WorldLife came and joined my group. We had some good conversations with people. It was wonderful! And back to first paragraph,  it felt WONDERFUL outside. Two girls in my group even got me an ice cream cone. :]

This trip will cost $2,750, due to a rise in airfare because of gas prices. So let another season of support raising begin! If you could please be praying for my mom and I during these next few months that would be much appreciated!

I just love you guys.

If you made it this far in your reading, go find a gold star and stick it to your shirt. I'm impressed.
