Welcome
OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

10:52 [i really dont have time to do this]
Wednesday, April 11, 2007 8:49 PM
how long has it been?
like a flippin' month or two?

ah many many things have been going on lately.

ill start with spring break.

[juarez]
my feelings for juarez are really hard for me to express. (i dont like over using adjectives). the whole trip was an amazing expierence. i think as americans its hard for us to comprehend (sp?) the fact that there are other people in the world who worship the same God we do. different language, different customs, different environment, same loving God. Hes like one of the few things we can actually relate to. Worshiping with the people in juarez was just exciting and new and fresh. i think it opened alot of our eyes. God is omnipotent and omnipresent.
all i really wanted to do was love the people when i was there. i just going to be honest, i wasnt to excited about ministering to the people. i would have just been happy to give them some food and talk to them but when i got down there i knew how important it was that we did. Gods love is so much greater than ours. We could have never made the impact that we made without Him. im glad He was in our conversation each time we went to see another person.

since im mallory, and i worry and think entirely to much about my future it (my future) was in my thoughts alot in juarez. over the past two years ive always felt like i needed to do homeland missions. so i was really thinking about that before juarez and what kind of impact juarez would have on the decision. about two weeks before the trip i kept being reminded of discipleship and how important i think it is. i was really considering doing that for a living, just with kids in the US. i never really put the whole thing together until i got to mexico and they told us about their Discipleship Training School (DTS). so basically, right when i heard about it my heart jumped and i really had no idea what to think. dts is a 5 month program, 3 months in intense spiritual training that really stretchs you and helps you develop your relationship with God and two months on outreach. i love it when God gives me glimpses of the future. so im really excited about this. i still have a few more years before i would actually go but im just going to continue praying about it and go if God says go.

after juarez nothing else really happened.
alot of friends went to las vegas on a mission trip so i really didnt get to hang out with them at all.
it was good to just be home and to relaxe.

a while ago my mom told me i couldnt go to hawaii for the summer.
NOW she says i can go IF i get a B in algebra.
(im pretty terrible at algebra)
so ive got alot to think about.
if i go...amazing.
if i dont...no big deal.
im just trying not to get my hopes up.

im really trying not to think about my future and whats going to happen but i feel like it has always been forced upon me. i just want to breathe and live for today. it really shouldnt be one of the hardest things to do, but for me...it is. i want to enjoy just one day, stress free. no worries.

Matthew 6:24

[NIV]
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

[Message]
Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.

ill try to remember and update soon.
ive got alot of things to say, just not enough time.
