Already the end of October

I can't believe that already almost 3 months have passed since i got back. It is has been a whirl wind of events since i got back. Life has been back to usual but i will never forget the great memories of that week in Mexico. At our church in Colorado they put up pictures from the trip with stories. When i walk by that wall it is like i go back to the day in Matamoros when that event happened. I feel like i am back with the kids at the church or worshiping with all the people at the Gateway from all across America who were there that week. Being in the dorms with the firls that i met from Nebraska. Who were some amazing young women after God's own heart. I can't wait to see if God has mission in my future again.
This week i was brought back to an event that lead up to the trip to Mexico. On friday night i got the chance to go to a Starfield concert. They are a worship band from Canada that i adore. They have a song on their new record that Is called I Will Go. Pretty much the song has the the theme of I will go serve where ever God plans for me. During the 24 before i left i was in shambles. I was broken down and just was scared to death about what would happen during this trip that was going to start within 24 hours. I went on the internet and i found the song I Will Go by Starfield. I listened to it and it gave me an overwhelming sense of peace. While at the concert i met the lead singer, Tim, and his brother, Jon, Who wrote the song and i told them this story. It was really great to have the chance to tell the people who helped me on this life changing experience know what that song did for me.
I love having the chance to to events that changed my life forever. Here are just a few pics from that concert.
