doo wap doo wa

The last couple days have been full of errands and goodbyes ( I like to call them see ya laters..) and I feel like I have done so much and been non-stop. I can't even remember everything I have done but here is a list of things I remember..:
Bassam, Winning at poker, visiting kids already at Loma, Goodbye party, sushi, church, Doctors, errands, hugs,hugs,hugs, tears, laughter, sleep, top down in bella, polaroids, shopping, panera, slumber party, packing, music.. and thats just to name a few. I know that is very little detail but I think you get the gist. Something on sunday really stuck out to me. My dad's uncle gave the sermon at church and it was entitled, "why God why." When bad things happen a lot of the time that is the first thing we turn too. Begging an answer as to why, but as uncle bill pointed out, we will honestly never know. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD. - Isaiah 55:8. This is just so crazy and true to me because I guess when bad things happen we dont always look at the bigger picture. We are concentrating on the saddness and unfortunateness of a situation while God's thoughts are different. He has a greater plan for us in the end. We can't know what He is thinking and I feel like that is so frusterating and yet so beautiful. I personally can't wait to meet him and ask a bizillion questions. Anywho, the next couple days will be once again full of a lot of "See ya's" and packing and I am getting so excited to be with some amazing people who I love very much for a few months. :)
ps. Here are some pictures from my bon voyage! There were so many more I wanted to post but I refrained! :)
Love you all.
in Him,
Dana Beth.
