Such Fun and Excitment!

So on Sunday I went to a CCF (a community church nearby) with my core girls and it was so refreshing. The church is just like a big family and I wasn't in the children's department working with kids during service, either. It was such an amazing service, filled with prayer, worship, and a great sermon. It was so, so, so.... I can't explain it. But, it was amazing.
Afterwards (still on Sunday) we had "core day". It was even more awesome than the church service. It gave us a chance to connect with my new core. I miss my old core, but I love my new one! It's filled with beautiful women of God. They have love and understanding and I can truly be my whole self around them. I'm so comfortable here, surrounded by other people on fire for God. It such an amazing experience.
During "core day" our Core Adviser, Rachel, took us to a gorgeous rose garden. I loved it! We ran around and talked with each other and took some great pictures (I'll put them up as soon as I figure out how to)!! After that we came back and had a picnic at the Prayer Tree. Then after that we prayed for one another in small groups and then had a party/ worship get-together. We painted each others nails and talked about silly things and then ended with some of the best worship I've ever had!
Sleep came easily that night and we went to corporate at the regular time. But, Monday we found out our ministry placements!! I was SO excited!! I did have my heart set on the kitchen crew, but God told me not to expect that. He had better plans in store for me, and that I should do whatever I get with joy in my heart. And that's what happened to me! I am in HA Operations, in the curriculum department. Its lots of fun! I have a desk, but I haven't sat at it so much so far (I've only been there two days). I love my supervisor, Janell Camp, she is so cool and beautiful and in love with the Lord. And Katie Johnson, Janells Graduated Intern, assistant, is so amazing! And, that Monday night our core filled out a little card with some very cute, girly information about ourselves on it for our C.A., Rachel. It was fun.
That night I actually went to bed slightly early (we had corporate an hour earlier than normal, at 5 instead of 6). I felt great today, the entire day (except for one during Chapel, I almost fell asleep). I worked some more in my M.P. and had lots of stuff to do. They keep me very busy, and I like it! I can't wait to get deeper into this fabulous ministry! I have lots of free time and and I plan on going to Wally World later today to get some stuff I need for ESOAL.
I have to get up at 4:30 again tomorrow for cooperate at 5. And then its off into another God filled, exciting, fabulous day. I don't know what the future holds and I want to run head on into it! God will protect me and I will have my core (and brother core) to help me on this spiritual journey. ESOAL is coming fast and we are working hard to meet this challenge head on AND I WILL FINISH WITH JOY IN MY HEART!!!!

p.s. I have already noticed that I'm losing weight (or at least "inches") because my clothes are getting to be slightly loose. And, not only that I have muscles where some fat used to be! Oh my! I'm so excited about this upcoming year!
