When I actually have to write...I have no idea what to say...
I've been trying to write my "support" letter for Colorado...and I am totally blanking out.
One morning in Malaysia, I had a word come to me..."...but do you have room for my voice?" I realized that for the past 2 years, being a religion major has definitely been a challenge upon my faith. I used to be so sure of the Word of God but with all the analyses and actually understanding the historicity of the works in the Bible, I've been left baffled, unsure and uninterested. I remember days when I would just sit in my room, in the quiet and search and read and love the Word for the refreshment that it gave me. Recently, it has become another book I take to class. the word that came to me woke me up. I have accumulated so much knowledge about the empires and the authors that I have failed to read the Bible as what it is: the Word of God.
I knew that I wanted to use that as the beginning to my letter yet I have no idea what it has to do with Colorado. Ahhh! I am praying for more insight.
To those of you who are wondering what talk about Colorado this is about...well, recently, I have been blessed to be a summer missionary in Gunnison, Colorado. I will be there from May 30th to August 10th 2007. Because this is a mission trip based on my own desire, I have to raise my own support to be able to fly out there (and New Orleans for Mission Lab) and whatever other finances that I will have to pay for. No idea what that comes out to but I'm sure it is a decent amount. Well, I'm not so stressed about the amount, but more about being real in this letter. I know either way I shouldn't be worried...but I want this to be...honest...unfortunately, I don't know what that means. *laughs*
Kinda feel like this:

Anyways, how is everyone out there?
