where is home?
So here I am, in Charleston, and I'm trying to adapt. Its a wee bit lonely because I went from being around awesome people almost 24/7 to being...well, home...alone most of the time. But its okay because it is starting to prepare me for Argentina. Besides, I'm not always alone. My brother and I went for a little jog yesterday. Did I mention that I hate running? I'm trying to like it now but we'll see what happens.
Its comforting to know that I will be returning to Columbia eventually (never thought I'd be saying that). But for now, things are still good.
I went to Barnes and Noble the other day, with a gingerbread steamer in my hand, I set out to start reading Captivating. I feel a little behind because it appears that most of the women in my life have already read it. It wasn't on the shelf so I picked out a different book by John Eldridege called something like Waking the Dead. So good!! It talks about living life abundantly and what the crap that means because most of us aren't living that way and don't know where to begin. The blurb about doing what Jesus did and more caught my attention and I can't wait to dive in deeper. Perhaps I will purchase that book or just read it when I go to B&N.
"Take less luggage, clothing, etc. than you think you will need and take more money than you think you will need."- thats a reoccuring theme as I research what to pack for studying abroad.

I actually read Captivating by going to BBN (hehe) several times out of the week until it was all done. That's how I read those Eldridge books b/c I can't really afford to buy every one of them. That's so neat because at church tuesday night, a few of us were having doubts and Hope reccomended 'Waking the Dead.' COOL. :) Sounds like the Lord is moving around, like he always does. You are loved here...you are loved here so well. :) Keep that faith and that chinny chin chin upidty up up, k? can't wait to see you. Allie Trotter
Kayla Kayla,
Hope your Christmas was a great one. I'm so glad that you called me, it was such a blessing you have no clue how excited when I got your call. To actually hear from someone that I love and appreciate so much was so good. Well I've rambled on for long enough. Hope I get to see you before you leave the country, I'm sure I will.
Love ya girl,
Linda
