I must be the least informed person in the world. It's unbelievable. I'm such an idiot.

JEEZ, people. I tell you I'm going to England for six months and I only get nine comments? Man, I can really feel the love...

"But if I say, 'I will not mention Him or speak anymore in His name', His word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; Indeed, I cannot." Jeremiah 20:9

I got a phone call today from the YWAM base in Carlisle, England. It sounds SO perfect. I feel totally overwhelmed. I'm still not 100% sure it's where I want to go, but after talking to Richard Lowe (the base leader), I'm pretty sure. It's GORGEOUSE, and it's only ten miles from Scotland, and it has a castle and a cathedral, and some ancient Roman wall thing, and a bunch of other stuff.

PLUS Richard said that it's even though it's a city (which in England just means that there is a cathedral in it), it's small and has more of a town feel. This is PERFECT because as you all know, my town only has 34,836 people in it, give or take. (I cheated... looked it up on the internet.) And Carlisle has like 100,000. So it's still a lot bigger than here, but not so huge that I would be overwhelmed, like if I were to live in New York City for six months.

Also, he said that they like to keep the DTS small, so that you learn to really know each other, and you can't "hide" as he put it. You have to be open and willing to bare yourself to others. And they believe in gifts of the Holy Spirit, and are a Spirit led base. Which is FANTASTIC because I would hate to feel stuffed up for six months.

So that's what I'm looking at for this fall. Carlisle, England... HERE I COME!

But for now, I have to do school. Only one more semester and then I'm DONE WITH HIGHSCHOOL!

Love you all!

Okay, I lied. I'm back. But only on occasion, and only if it's a very worthy cause. Like this:

Matt Damon in a cowboy hat is a VERY worthy cause.

Ephesians 3:4-19
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He will grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in your love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height -- to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
