okay-lots to share with this one...
so, when i left this i had $270 for nicaragua, in the morning i woke up to my mom sharing with me someone handed her $40. okay-up to $310. now, get ready for this. i found out i'll need the remaining $500 by february 15th. so..on wednesday, Tim (our bcm director) told me to stop by the bcm center whenever i could. i came in and to my utmost surprise he informed me a few students came to him and wanted to help me out. they wanted to remain unknown, but had given me $250 for my trip! so yeah, i was shocked and i still am!! insanity! God has just been so awesome to me!!! so i need $250 more, but i have complete faith that the rest of the money will be given! i am soo pumped!..i also got the opportunity to go to Converge 2010 this weekend. it is a statewide bcm event which was amazing. i got to meet up with friends from high school, as well as meet some new friends! i got to meet a lot of people from Anderson University..totally cool people! also, i was able to get closer to people in my own bcm. always great worshipping with fellow believers! God really showed up throughout the time there. His awesomeness was everywhere. He really just taught me to confess it all to Him. He already knows, but how can i expect Him to heal my heart unless i confess it and give it to Him, fully. it is something that is going to be very hard to do...i guess the only thing stopping me is the pain i'll feel while i re-hash emotions and get to the root of the hurt. i had a good step tonight. something came over me and i just lost it, completely broke down. it was good. i'm starting to realize, He is the only one that can provide peace. it is something i know in my head, but tonight i felt it in my heart. awesome stuff. the peace was worth the pain. peace will last forever, while pain is merely temporary. so yeah-these past few days have been awesome. God is great! all the time!

i'll leave you with some awesome quotes from converge 2010.

**we need to live lifes that say, "i follow a crucified saviour all the way to calvary"
**we should never revel in and enjoy the very things that Jesus came to destroy
**satans strategy: he creates an environment where he will solicit our thoughts to stir our affections and lead us to go in a direction we were never meant to be. leaving us people we were never created to be.
**what you think about determines what you care about; what you care about determines what you chase
**the best defense to sin is a great offense
