Northbound, Where The Wild Things 'Are' Found.

I'm going on a journey, northbound.
I pray its the adventure I've searched for but never found.

Moose, bears, wolves with thick gray hair.
Northern lights,
New moons, 
Navy blue long johns.

That's just the way things are..
Oh, and there's gonna be black bears in my
Backyard.

Haiku...

Wind speaks of my song
Northern lights dance on my eyes
Wolf friend at my side.


You've probably guessed it by now, but I just really want to say it.

I'm Going To Alaska....

I hardly believe it, but this is real. I leave May 15, and return Oct 15.  Port Alsworth is where I'll be. A town of 150 people. 

Travelers come from all over to stay at a lodge up there.  I will be working at the lodge, cleaning guest houses and the like. 

For some reason, I feel like...

This is the beginning of the rest of my life.

My whole childhood is filled with dreams of travel, it all starts here.

"Sometimes I see myself as a child in a rain storm, running around, trying to catch all the drops in her mouth. I long for my adventures to be like the raindrops the child saves, and not those that crash to the ground."

Shakespeare wrote this actually, I just like to adapt it to myself. Hehe

Here is one last quote before I head off to sleep...

This is one of my faves :]

"We live in a world full of beauty, charm, and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have, if only we seek them with our eyes wide open."  ~ Jawaharlal Nehru 

I'm excited to meet new people, see new sights, and hear new sounds.

These are the gifts of being Northbound.

Y'all sleep sweet now! :]

"Look Up At the Stars. Can You Count Them?"

The last night of the Rising (a service at YWAM that they offer to the public every Tuesday night) God gave me another revelation of who He is.
We were reading the story of Abraham, and God had made a promise to Abraham that he would be the father of nations. "Look up at the sky Abe, see all of those stars? Count them if you can... the number of your children and grandchildren and great grandchildren will be the same as the stars in sky." 

Abraham waited and waited for God to fulfill His promise. When God blessed Abraham with a son, you can  only imagine how excited Abraham was! "Finally God gave me this which I have prayed for!" 

You can only imagine how Abraham must have felt when God said, "Go, take your son, and give to me as a sacrifice." 

So is DTS for me......

God promised me that He would take me places, that I would go to Thailand. He then, took it back, to test me..... Thailand is my son Isaac.

God has beautiful things in store for me, He has my life planned out for me. I just need to continue to give my dreams and hopes up to Him who gave them to me.  

Gen 15:5- The Lord took Abraham outside and said, "look up at the stars, count them if you can." Then He said to him, "That is how many children you will have."

When God saw that Abraham trusted Him enough to kill his own son, He stopped Abraham. God gave him his son, his dreams, his hopes and desires, when He saw Abrahams faithfulness.

God keeps His promises.
