Bend, I can't believe it.

I am here, in Bend. I live here. It is greater than I could have ever imagined or planned. It almost brings me to tears when I see God's hand so ridiculously over my life. I love every part of it. So, I am going to try and fit in every ridiculously amazing thing he has done and is doing...

I have officially been a Bend resident for a month and a half. I feel like somedays I never left, and other that I have just got here. I am still living out of suitcases and boxes, but the barn is now being worked on at a much more rapid speed. Which is amazing! Hopefully it'll be done real soon. I need a closet. :D Since I got here, I have jumped of a real high rock into water. (huge step. I HATE heights) but I survived and am still breathing! My little precious camry got hit while it was parked at my friends house while I was at the lake. Which sucked at first, but God is so faithful and provided me with another car while my car got fixed, and out of all of it she finally got a name. Bruisey :) cute huh? I am living with the most amazing family, who blesses me beyond belief. Plus I get the privilege of hanging out with 4 of the cutest and coolest kids ever. I have stood in awe of God's creation, as I drive to work I get to look at some of the most beautiful mountains you've ever seen. I get to drive for 20 mins and be in the middle of nowhere, just me and God. I do get lost and end up in a different county, but its cool. I have a great job, hard and challenging. Yes. but I know that God has provided this for me and well it works out perfectly with my school schedule in the fall which brings me to that. Upon moving here I had planned to attend COCC (central oregon community college) but after much prayer, many words, and much confirmation I know God is calling me to do CLC (cascade life commission) at Westside Church. and can I tell you how incredibly excited I am?! I start in a month!!! God is going to do amazing things this year and I can't wait to share them with everyone. I also have been blessed with some of the most amazing friends ever! I don't know nor remember the first time I met most of them and well I don't think they remember really when I came along either but they have embraced me with open arms. and some with sharp tongues. haha. my birthday is in 6 days, I cant believe it. Everyone knows for sure, I think. I've been reminding them for a little over a month now :D but sadly, most will be gone. I think I'm going to get my nose pierced. but I haven't decided yet. I am almost 18, in bend, following the will of God, jumped off high places, and blessed beyond belief. How can life get any better??

Above are some pics since I've moved. Not vert many cause my camera sadly broke the same day my car got hit... :(
