South America

I'm leaving for Honduras this Friday! I'm working pretty hard trying to save up the last bit of dollars before I go! God has been so faithful to provide for me. Since Thursday I've had the opportunity to work at a Wholesale Jewelry Shop. For 50 bucks a day...5 days, $250. That's God! This will be my first time out of the U.S. I can't wait to see what God is going to do.
My traveling buddy is my best friend from Master's Commission, Sonya Collingsworth. God has called her to go all over the world to reach children. It is going to be a great adventure as we experience this together.
As soon as we get back from Honduras, 4 days later I will be leaving for Monterrey, Mexico! Another Missions Trip! In fact, I've been given the opportunity to go practically for free! I will personally assist our leader with any administrative work, etc. that he needs. God is opening doors all over the place! I can't wait till I will be able to go to Australia and Russia!
I am not going to be a missionary, though it may sound this way. I'm traveling the world to learn. I want to learn about other countries and their culture. I want to see more of God's creation and to experience adventures beyond the US.
Masters Commission is a discipleship program for students out of high school. Here they give 1, 2 or even 3 years of their life to grow closer to God, to discover strengths and weaknesses, to develop their interests in ministry, and to be launched into their future on a firm foundation. Destiny Masters Commission has a strong emphasis on Leadership. Every student will experience personal organization, challenging responsibilities, and genuine love for what they are doing. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. Also, here's the link to our website: http://www.destinymc.tv/.

Colors of Movement

Hello Everyone!
I have been inspired by Jenni to start this blog. I have another one @ www.chantel.vox.com. Well, I just wanted to start things out by expressing the meaning behind my blog title. "Colors of Movement."
I am a dancer. I love to dance, but more than that I love to choreograph. When I listen to music, my heart adopts the rhythm. When I dance, I only dance to the rhythm of my heart. But before I begin to move....I must see the dance.
I don't normally see a dancer moving and twirling around...I see color. Plum, Scarlet, Mustard...you name it. Every dance has its own movement. Every movement has its own color. Recently I chose a song for my dance audition (college UCO). The song is Apologize by One Republic. With this song, my heart adopted the rhythm. My mind began to move as an autumn leaf falls to the ground- the movement burst into colors of Fall; forest green, chocolate brown, blood red, mustard yellow... I'm not an artist by all means so forgive me if I use incorrect words to describe the color. Ha ha
Well, enough about that- I'll blog soon!
