Common Chairs...

I would like to begin by saying that my God is just so cool. If only people knew. Which brings me to the point that i feel like I have found part of my calling here. Let me explain...
When I moved up here I was absolutely positive God wanted me here. I knew he had a plan for me and I had a small idea of what that plan was. However, God has just now clarified some crucial points in that plan. All my life I have felt a great passion for other cultures. It makes sense...I've always been in foreign cultures all my life. So, it was a surprise to find that God was calling me to America, one of the most familiar cultures to me. Well, over the past couple of weeks I have gotten to be friends with a girl named Cerissa who is from the Tulalip tribe, whose reservation is only a couple minutes from Arlington. Talking to her and spending time with her, I have found how very fascinated I am with the culture and how passionate I am about reaching out to them!Cerissa told me that so many out reaches to the tribes have failed for many reasons. She said that it was somewhat difficult to get into the loop there, to get people to trust you, but once you were in, you were like family for life. So, after talking to Amy (Tim, the pastor's wife), I found out that Tim also had wanted to do some out reach to the Tulalip tribes. All that to say, I am very excited to announce that I am going to be focusing a lot of my energy in this area. It is just so cool to see God pull bits of my life together to this point.
So, I don't know if anyone is reading this, but I wanted to share with you how excited I am about my mighty God and the thrilling adventure of serving Him!
