Down and almost out

Have you ever had the experience of passing out or getting close to passing out? Its the weirdest, creepiest feeling... When we where in Kenya... We started our 8 hour drive to the village.. On our way, I fell asleep. Waking up few hours later to my face slamming the front seat, a big boom with water splashing on the windshield followed by my mom yelling "We hit him we hit him!" Him was a young boy who ran out in front of our car. This young boy should of been dead... But by God's grace. He is alive and well. The next day, we went to visit this young boy. (Mind you I'm scared to death in Kenya) We make it to the hospital and I was already feeling car sick. Going in side was over whelming... So much sick and hurting. That could be stop. It hurt me just to see it.... We went into the children's clinic. Where we saw the young boy... It was horrible. I would never expect him to look like that. We prayed over him and his family. After that I pulled my mom aside and told here I need to leave before I throw up. Me and my dad stepped out into the hall way and waited. Trying to hold it down, I lost my hearing. We started making our way down stairs when I lost my sight and told my dad I'm going to pass out. I can't remember all what happen. But I remember getting outside throwing up and gaining sight back. I can tell you how happy I was that I didn't all the way pass out. And that I learned alot from this scary experience. It was so poverty stricken there. And I want to help. Well... I must go for now.

Today's post.

Truly forever and positively in love with Jesus.
To tell you the truth, it took awhile to realize how much I really loved Jesus. I mean I love him A LOT... Each day I try to fill my thoughts with him, and how I can't wait to go spend time with him in my quiet place. (heheh my room) I want him to be my true forever focus, yes when I'm married I will be in love with that man. But still never as much as I am in love with my Savior. I love taking time to talk to him... Even though I can not say I spend a lot of time with him. But I try to take it one day at a time getting more and more into his word. And I would like to encourage everyone to spend time with him. I bet he would love it more than any other person.


Truly and forever,
Coral Christine

My friend Taylor,

There's a lot to say about her. But since I have a short time limit before my brother kicks me off i must only say this.

Besides the fact that she can quote all the lines from LOTR, she is ON FIRE for the Lord.
She recently posted awesomeness on her blog that the WHOLE world should know. So I would like to lead you to her blog. Even know my mom is the only one who really reads this. (Hi mom) Her blog is Http://journeysoftalilao.blogspot.com/
Check it out. She is pretty amazing.

Love you Tay Tay!!

Hmm... Skirts #2

Skirts.... To tell you the truth now just last week I was complaining about wearing them. Now I can't wait. Skirts are not as bad as I thought. Just last night we got several skirts from Cindy May. Me and my mom tried them all on this morning. When my mom or me would see a skirt we like and call out 'I call it! Its mine! I own it!' This would happen over and over again till we Finlay got our skirts sorted. Child hood memories huh? We both have five skirts for our journey. And I really can't wait. Skirts as I said are better than I thought. They are really comfortable, fun, colorful, and not to mention the best part ever... They are flowy! Yeah, I am secretly four at heart. ;) But I love them. I might come back from Africa and wear them more than usual.
From this moment we leave in exactly two weeks!

Skirts....

With Africa coming sooner each day, me and my mom tried on skirts. Yes skirts... To tell you the truth I would rather be caught dead than be in a skirt.. Not to offend skirt wearers, I just really don't care for them.. But anyways, while me and my mom where trying on many different skirts, all with different shapes and sizes, I thought to myself.. "I can not believe I'm going to Africa." It started out as just Cadenn going, he has always wanted to be a missionary or something on those lines... In Africa. I was soooo jealous, I wanted to go really bad. But the best thing to do about it was pray. That was the biggest thing I prayed about for awhile. Then finaly my mom started talking about getting me a passport, just in case I get the chance to go. Now my hopes where up, I had no clue weather or not I was really going. But I hopped too. Soon after that the ABBA fund agreed to help us. I was so excited. I'll never forget going to get my passport, God truly answered my prayers. So with less than 3 weeks before we leave, all I can say is this is a true blessing.

Coming

I want to leave to Africa soooo bad. All I think about all day is Africa and I dream about it at night. I doubt what I have in mind would be anything close to the real deal. I just can't wait to go! In the future I would love to live out there. And when I go I'm guessing I won't want to come back. I pray all the time for this trip to come sooner and I thank God everyday for giving me the chance to go.

Your truly,

Coral Christine

Sooo Soon!

Africa is coming faster and faster. I can not wait!! One thing.... I gonna miss my best friends birthday... My best friend Cailee. That's right my sister. Besides our fighting and bickering over cell phones, Hair products and clothes... We are the best of friends. Nothing can make us hate one another. I truly love her. The longest time I was away from my sister was for merely 2 nights and that seemed a long time. Compared to the two weeks I'm gone that's nothing. It may seem really dumb and I might sound like I'll never see her again. But two weeks seems really long. I'm going to miss her soothing voice asking me random questions like 'Do you wanna walk to Kohls tomorrow?' at midnight. Right now I sit here looking at her from across the room, knowing I'm going to miss her bunches. I don't know how I will make it up for missing her 14th b-day. I can truly admit that she is one of the coolest people I know. And I won't trade her for anything. Yes we do fight, we are far from perfect. But we truly love another.



I love you Cailee!!
