whats this??!

I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
wake up jack, this isnt fair
whats this?

the streets are lined with little creatures laughing
everybody seems so happy
have i possibly gone daffy?
what is this?
whats this?!

i highly reccomend that you look up what's this nightmare before christmas and watch or listen to the clip.
and what's this? hey mom! guess what?! ive got good news! i took a shower today!! and, i even went so far as to take more than a comb to my getting longer by the day mane. you should be proud. ;-)

and... gillian is going back the the states for a few days, for a wedding. im going to miss her. although, my wallet won't miss her influence on dragging me to starbucks. eh, what am i saying, i will miss it anyway. ive started venturing there on my own now, i can't still use her as a crutch. the good thing is, flavored coffees may be a little more pricey, but the cafe del dia after a fiasco each time of explaining that no i dont want steamed milk just cold milk while i get this 'why on earth would you only want cold milk when you could have steamed milk?' stare.. is only cinco cincuenta soles. so its not so bad. im still getting asked if i am gillians friend when i come in here though. so obviously she... lives here. but hey, we are reaching starbucks employees for sali. seriously. eventually. maybe. hehe.

this is what makes my head spin

You're forever holy
God of all creation
pour your life into me
this is so overwhelming
You're forever holy
God of my salvation
Clothe me in your glory
-Lyrics from Forever Holy by the Glorious Unseen

Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 20-21

A distinction must always be made between the revealed truth of redemption and the actual conscious experience of salvation in a person's life. -My Utmost for His Highest

two things i am thankful i brought with me on my trip.. which frequently both supply and provoke encouragement... reflection... and the desire to know more. 

the weather in trujillo right now is beautiful. 
and so is the view at night of the city from our roof. 
the growth of friendships daily is bringing encouragement,
and all these things are gifts.
