Time for a Change

Ok, so I know I look absolutely dumb in these photos, but here they are for you mom! I decided to go ahead and cut my hair off again...it was just too long for my liking. I'm not so sure it was the best idea because it is humid here, but nonetheless I've done it. I do really like it short though, even if it does make my face look "rounder." My computer is currently broken, so I am using the one that my family has in my room here, and I discovered I could plug my phone into their computer, browse and upload pictures directly from my phone without having to download them onto their computer. It's amazing what technology can do.

I've really been learning a lot in the past couple of days. It seems that the longer I am here the more I find myself wanting to go sit in a coffee shop..aka Starbucks, and just read and journal. For those of you that really know me, in the past I would have never ever wanted to just spend my spare time doing that. I really enjoy it though and I find that spending time alone with myself and God is one of the most amazing things. I think in the past I have been afraid of really finding out who I am because of what I might find. What if I found out I was someone I didn't really want to be?? I think it is so important to be comfortable enough with yourself to realize that we are always changing and growing. So what if I discover something that might be a bit weird, I don't have to stay that way, I can change, I can grow. God wants us to spend time with him because we want to, not out of obligation. I think I am really beginning to see and understand that. I am really beginning to want that time with God and not just do it because I know I should. Anyways your prayers would be much appreciated because I having a bit of difficulty with one of the girls on the team and I think ulitimately it is going to come down to the two of us sitting down to have a chat (as the British would say). Pray that God would give each of us understanding and grace towards each other. Thank you!!
