Back in California

HI :)

Ok so this might be my shortest entry yet! No promises though...so don't get excited ;p

Ummm I am currently in Diamond Bar, CA. We've been here for a couple of days. (since friday)

I wish I could talk about my wonderful time at the Riverwalk in San Antonio and talk about my last school ever, or about the nice people we met on our 2 day drive back to Cali from Texas, or tell you about my weekend, or more, but I have no time.

I am curretnly at Starbucks because the Camfel apartement has no internet :( I've been here for a while and slacked on the blogging. I then got a phonecall from a great friend who needed an ear and after that I realized it was time to go. Tiffany and I are going to eat at IN n OUT for one last time (well one last time for me). My stomach is complaining so I must listen to it.

I want to update you all on how I've been doing, or what the Lord's been showing me, or what's evolved with my situation but like I said I don't have much time :(

I do however need you all to pray for me. My time with Camfel and California has officially come to an end, as I am waking up extremely early tomorrow morning in order to make my first loner roadtrip. 18 hours to CO. It's been raining here in California since we got here friday night and will continue to rain until wednesday I believe, which is horrible for poor ol' Californians haha.

I am not going to act like I'm not nervous about the trip. As some of you may know, I am a terrible driver and it is supposed to rain/snow (according to where I drive) all day. I've never driven in snow before so that'll be a new one.
PLEASE pray for good weather and protection to on the way tomorrow! That'd be great if I made it there in one piece. :)

I've had a lot of packing to do, was able to pick up my car on saturday, and pick up a few boxes and bins of mine on sunday night. I finally have everything of mine in ONE place :) I am workign towards fitting it all in the car and I believe it will be a success.
In fact, I met a man who doesn't live in the apartments but comes around a couple of times a week to help out his old grandpa and uncle who can't take care of themselves anymore. He saw me in the wet parking lot struggling trying to sort out of all my belongings. THe car was SURROUNDED with bags, and shoes, and clothes, and trash, and suitcases, and bins and...well...basically my whole life and he talked to me for a while and ended up helping me out (not sorting things cus that'd be awkward hehe) but once I was done sorting he brought a bag to goodwill for me, and helped me carry suitcases and things upstairs. At the end of it,we had a long talk and I found out he was a believer. He seemed real interested in my crazy life story and he confessed to feeling like he didn't know much about the world outside of California and I kept encouraging him to look things up, or going out to open up his eyes and I hope I was able to challenge him in some way. In return, at the end of our conversation, he decided to pray for my trip. He thanked God for meeting a new sister in Christ and He just covered my journey, my decisions, and everything in prayer. I felt the Holy Spirit present and it was just a great bonding time.
It's so amazing how so many of us only have one thing in common, our deep love for Christ, and how that alone can make us feel like we've known each other for years the very first time we meet!
I felt so blessed afterwards. I told a friend of mine about it and he told me I had the gift of having people love me without even knowing me and I replied that I felt like God had blessed me with a social gift and that if all I can do is bring light to whoever I meet or run into, then my daily goal is fulfilled!
Unfortunately I fail at that goal a lot, but I still try :)

My coworker, Tiffany actually joined me here at Starbucks, which is why I've been rambling some more :) You thought you could get away with a short entry today huh? Sorrryyyy!! haha Just kidding.

It's been swell. My stomach is still crying out. I hope to come back on here very soon. I'll be in Colorado next time I do.

Merry Christmas everyone, You are loved and thought of!!!
