[Ready or Not]

my heart loves adventure.
loves packing.
loves traveling.
loves *going* places and meeting new people.

last weekend i got to travel... for 6 days straight.
it was a *little* stressful, but i loved it. every minute of it.

and my heart is overwhelmed with happiness right now, because in about [12-ish] hrs, i get to travel again.
this time, with two *AMAZING* girls who do *AMAZING* things!
actually... i only know one of them... but from what i know of the other one, it's gunna be like we've always known each other <3 <3

i'm SO excited.

granny Ruthie is one of the most enthusiastic, encouraging, crazy, most-Blondie, passionate ppls i've EVER met/talked to! and she's coming back to Taiwan... and *i* get to see her! how wild is that?

and she's bringing her friend, Maddie - who seems beyond awesome as well (so excited to meet this face whom i've only seen/talked to over FB)!!

seriously, back in september-ish, when we "talked" about her possibly coming out, i never thought that God would actually LET THIS HAPPEN!! it's fabulous!

God has seriously been amazing me *constantly* these past few weeks.
He gives me more than i could ask for.
He arranges my life perfectly...
HE IS SOOO GOOD!!

::sigh::

so yeeesh... adventure starts tomorrow.

9 days traveling over as much of Taiwan as possible (or, at least making as many memories as possible in every town that we land in)!

hmm.... 9 days seems too short. really hoping that it doesn't "fly by"...

and SUPER glad these girls love coffee as much as i do
(much coffee = little sleep = more adventures)

wow... i am WAY too excited... it's about 3am right now cuz i can't sleep (coffee at 12am doesn't really help) and i'm not picking them up from the airport until 10pm tonight. dumb :P

yesh... now i am rambling. sad.

oh, and for the record i will not be online/checking emails/FB for the next 9 days as well... so if you NEED to get ahold of me, try my cell phone! (but, as rumor has it... i usually don't keep my cell phone on me, so don't expect to get ahold of me regardless) :P

okay... i'll probably have lots and LOTS to talk about in a few days... (unlike my ramblings right now)

but prayer requests:
- safe travels!
- being a BLESSING to those ppls i come in contact with
- remembering my "Chinese Language skills" (or lack thereof)
- for my team - getting proper rest during this "vacation" and coming back to our 2nd semester fully rested and rejuvenated!
- sleep  - i haven't been getting very good rest... and it's making my days rather difficult
- FUTURE PLANS... i'm taking steps in various directions... but i have a feeling i will have to choose very soon... which scares me. i just want God's best... but right now, "God's best" looks like 5 different options... all at once. [sigh]


Happy February to y'alls! have a great first few weeks ~ i'll be back to keep y'all posted on happenings in Taiwan in no time :)

Lots of Love <3 <3
