So this will probably be my last blog on here for two months. I leave Monday for Colorado to be a Sojourner Missionary. I started a new blog though so I will be posting on that. The link is HannahColoradoTrip.Blogspot.com So check that out regularly to see if I update. I will try to get an update out once a week, I did that last summer, and it seemed to work pretty well. I'll also give you the link to my facebook group where I will be posting photos, maybe some videos, and a few other things. That link is http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/group.php?gid=106962962682565
So request to be in the group, and I'll most likely accept. I just wanna make sure you're not a creepy stalker ;) hahaha. Anyways, I'm really looking forward to seeing what God teaches me this summer in beautiful Colorado. He's taught me so much these last few months. The latest thing he's taught me is that he does everything in His timing, not mine. I had been praying for 9 months for God to heal my family, and the prayer didnt get answered until now. It's all in His timing, not ours. I hope everyone has a great summer, and keep checking my other blog for updates :)
In Christ,

Thursday, May 13, 2010
A lot has been going on lately, and it has shown me how good God really is. Life has been really stressful these last few months for multiple reasons. Parents divorce, selling the house, and trying to figure out if I was going to do anything this summer. God has been so good at answering my prayers that I have been praying for months now.
My parents have decided to try counseling one last time before they completely give up. The stressful part of that was that we had a contract on the house by the time they decided to do that. We needed something to happen for the contract not to go through, but couldnt afford buying out the contract, and had no idea what we were going to do. After the inspection they had asked us to fix some stuff, and my parents declined that, and they had 10 days to reply if they wanted it or not. 10 days was yesterday and they never got back as far as we know. If they can prove that they sent or tried to send in their thing saying they wanted it, then the contract is still valid, BUT if they cant prove it then we can bail out of the contract with no problems.
All of this takes a great deal of stress off of my shoulders for the time being. As long as everything happens to where the contract is no longer legal, I am going to be so relieved!
I leave in 18 days for Colorado as a Sojourner missionary for two months!!! I am so excited to see what God teaches me this summer! Last night while i was laying in bed, I was thinking "maybe I shouldnt go this summer. There's so much happening with moving, james and juliette having their baby, maybe I shouldnt go." God answered that today, saying hey! Here's one thing you wont have to worry about! I can go see my niece after I get home, so that wont be anything to worry about.
These next few weeks I was going to be so stressed out because of everything. Packing up everything in my room, getting ready for Spring Formal in 9 days, then Graduation in 16 days, graduation party in 17 days, and leaving for Colorado in 18 days...was not going to be a fun time. But God gave me peace with it last night at church, and today I understand why.
There's now only one more thing for me to write about right now, and it's to ask you for prayer for a good friend of mine. He has so much going on right now in his life that is just really taking a toll on him. I was talking to him two days ago on the phone, and I could hear the pain in his voice, and on multiple occasions it almost brought me to tears. He is in so much physical pain right now from a surgery, and from another accident that happened a few days ago. He cant get any medicine that he needs until Friday because of some misunderstanding with his doctor. His family and church family have turned completely against him because of his past. They say he's not worthy enough to be in church, but in God's eyes anyone and everyone is welcome in the church, no matter what walk of life they're in. You cant judge someone because of their past. That's not right. it's in the past, leave it there. Please be praying for him. He told me on Tuesday that he feels like he suffered less doing bad, than he does doing good. He told me he's so sick of suffering like this, he's just ready for his prayers to be answered. He's been suffering for two years now with his family and church family. The physical pain has just started here in the last month. Be praying for physical healing for him, and healing in his family and church family. I've been praying constantly for him this last week, and every time I do, it brings me to tears thinking abut everything he's having to deal with. Keep him in his prayers, and continue to keep me in your prayers as I try to comfort him through this, pray that God gives me the words to say to him in these times of suffering.
