Ocean Front Property in Arizona
In 4 days I will be leaving on a plane(which is extremely hard for me) to Sells, Arizona. Why you may ask? We are going on a mission trip to the Tohono O'odham Native American Reservation. I went last year around this time and fell in love with the T.O. people and the area. When you enter onto the Rez (yes Twilight fans...they really call it the Rez), its like entering into a third world country in the middle of the United States. No modern sewage system, trash and abandoned homes and cars everywhere.
I have been researching about the T.O.'s for my international social work class. I will be meeting the social workers at the Sells Indian Health Services Hospital down the street from where we are staying. The T.O. people originally had land that covered into the U.S. and Mexico. After the treaty that has a long name, their land was split between the Mexican/American boarder. Their way of life has completely changed. Since 9/11 boarder control has increased and the negative outcomes show in their society. High drug trafficking between Mexico and Arizona leads to high gang activity, abandoned vehicles everywhere. Poor health behavior, no economic development therefore no jobs, high alcoholism... you name it...they got it. I can't wait to be out there.
I'm also buying a new camera before I leave so I am excited to take pictures!

Rainy Days
Its raining in Atlanta today.....whats new?? It seems that it hasn't stopped raining since september. I currently am missing class right now, and I think it was a good decision. I've been able to get some work done today, eat a healthy lunch, relax and not feel rushed before I go work at Treehouse tonight. Sad, but sometimes class just gets in the way of actually getting things accomplished.
So I read the book by Nicholas Sparks, Dear John. For some reason, most other women in the U.S. didn't read this book. Apparently, we don't like entertainment if it doesn't give us a fairy tale ending. I'm opposite, I love books that give us realistic glimpses into our own lives. This book is one of my favorites. I did get to be girly and go see it the night it came out in theaters! I loved it. Of course, no movie is as good as the book(changing of characters, and lost scenes). The last time I read a book and then saw a movie was Kite Runner. If you have the chance to read it, you should! It is set in Afghanistan, so it gives a decent look into their culture.
Anyways, I leave you with this :)

Pick me up Lord....Everyday
My BFF Alison Leigh Dickens inspired me to post today :)
Its funny out she can be on the opposite end of the country....I mean absolute opposite ends and yet our lives remain intertwined and connected :) Today, my heart is overflowing (although the first half of the day you would have not known). As I sit at my internship...and do NO work....I have this feeling of just wanting to be with my Lord. He has opened my eyes to so my truth through His words, I can not keep it all in! I just want to be the beloved: "I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine" Song of Solomon 6:3 Everyday for me I am consumed with school, internship, working for my professor, working at Treehouse, and socializing.....and I leave the Lord out everyday. His grace never ceases to find me, the Spirit intercedes for me in ways I do not even know, and he picks me up from the bottom :) So much more I could share, but I think this sums it all up...Enjoy.
