I'm so close to being home!!! I've missed you all a ton our conversations, Crazy times, Drivens, late park nights, random get togethers, Camas hang outs!!! I can't wait to hear all about what's been going on in your life's and of course what the Lord has been doing for you all!!!
My time down in México is one I won't forget...God took every thing...my thoughts and expectations and turned them upside down! and blew me away...He's taught me a ton about trust, faith, and prayer...and used each orphan and certain situations in such profound ways to teach and bring me closer to him.
After the school I went on as staff and LOVED it!!!I'm so thankful that God kept me at "the mission"...Even though it was hard at first God changed and answered a lot of prayers and questions that I had been fighting for a long time with myself...and it feels good to be free! One of the orphans Nilse taught me a ton about the kind of faith I should constantly have....Nilse is afraid to walk on her own and wants to take hold of your hands and not let go so that she won't fall....and when she takes hold she's trusting that you will guide and take care of her....God used her in a powerful way and as a constant example...To be afraid to walk on your own, have faith that he's holding you, take hold, and to never let go!
Staying for Christmas was a CRAZY blessing!!! I'll share more about it when I get home.....But, some other highlights were Hiking, climbing sharks finn with Felecia to find Austin and Quinn, making Eddie laugh for two mins, playing guitar with Emma, sleeping in Ana & Emma's room on the last night, Running crazy down and up the halls, making a birthday cake for Jesus with the girls and an AWESOME christmas tree;), Cara, Felecia and I at the mood y's house, and more....for when I get back=D
Over all I'm doing Great I'm at my Grandparents house right now and it's going to be a great time of relaxing before I go home...But, if you can keep me in your prayers over these next few days I'd appreciate it a lot! Saying good bye to the orphans was harder then I thought it would be and I'm still fighting something in my heart....God's shown me how He wants me to push through this but, it's not easy...I'm out of my comfort zone and I want to go back to where i felt "safest" but, that's something Satan want's and I'm not going to let Him win....God has been so Good to me and I can't place it in writing nor into words...Keep living your life's for Him guyz, NO matter what this world throws at you...and you will go far! See ya all soon!!!
Love ya,
Your Sista,
In Him,
Crystal

I'll be keeping you posted and in my prayers! I don't have all of your address so if you can post them or e-mail....that would help me a ton!!! So that I don't have to search all over cuz, inbetween working everyday and packing not just my bags....i just don't have to much time at all... oh!...and the reason I ask for your mailing address is cuz, I won't have access to a computer nor phone! Just Letters cause if I have a chance to call it will be to the parents from a $2.00 per minute phone or somthing like that. I don't have much time till I leave(17th nine days), I'll be traveling by plane at 8:15A.m. and arrive around 10:35a.m. Please keep me in your prayer and I'll do my upmost best to keep you guyz updated some how....Thankz so much for everything guyz and see you when I get back!

I'm really surprised how much I'm going to miss High School! I'm overjoyed that it's over but, there are something’s that I'm gonna miss! ALOT!!! Our high school is one of a kind that's for sure! I'm really looking fwd to my up coming years of college their gonna be "pretty exciten" as simo would say....but, I still can not get over how fast life is moving! It feels weird to think that I'm done and over with High School Forever!!!!....Hmmm....Yeah! My mind is a blur right now....but, this new chapter is gonna get better and better as my life unfolds! We all have a ton of great stuff ahead of us!!!
But, I just wanted to thank those who have had me in their thoughts and prayers over these past few weeks it's OVER!!!! Outside of college junk and a few other things but the main of everything is subsiding and I'm viewing life in a totally different perspective! I think it's called and part of growing up.....Hope to see you all on Saturday!!! Much LOVE to you all!!!
In Him,
~Crystal~

I’m sorry for being a bum but to an extent I’m not…
I don’t like who I am right now…I’ve been hit all week…been down to my lowest low that I haven’t felt in a long time…have been faking a smile in so many ways…I want to be me again and I know who that girl is but I left her some where and I can’t find her…But, I know the girl she is now is not me…she’s broken and wants to keep so much inside…She’s sick of hollow words….people saying one thing then doing another…being full of excitement then full of disappointment….She’s tiered of so much….people not being/acting like who they are and being in their own worlds alot....Seeing more of how sick this world is…I’m not me right now and I’m struggling to the end of this finish line…I’m beaten, stressed, tiered, and shattered….I’m struggling to forgive some people for the same words they continue to break over and over again…Then I think about how I do the same at times and I feel worse and beat myself up over it…The main reason why I’ve been withdrawing myself in ways is because I don’t want to take the risk of feeling more pain from some of the ones that I love most and I know they love me…I’m not thinking to clearly cause I’m over loaded with so much work that I have in-between now and graduation…and because I’m not thinking all to clearly I don’t want to say anything that I’ll regret!!! I need time to be with Christ!!! It’s been hard finding time to just be with him and truly focus on HIM!!! And when I don’t spend time with him I’m MISREBLE!!!
I don’t want to talk about what’s happened over this past week…Cause, I need Christ!!!…and If you try I will not be happy!!! I’ve talked to a few people about me and have guidance…but, I need Christ’s love to fix my heart!!! Please, don’t take any of this personal and assume….for all I need is your prayers and encouragement!!! but, only if you want to don't feel obligated! cause then I don't want it nor a joke! I’m just NOT ready to talk!!! and may not ever want to once it's over....It doesn’t mean that I don’t want to see people though when I do….it’s just during any free time God blesses me with I want to spend it with Christ or do something that helps to get a way for a few brief moments so that I can come back with a fresher out look or spend it with those that know what I’m going through…Once these up coming two weeks are finished I know I’ll be able to recover! Only cause I have Christ sustaining me now…This is a time where it’s Him and I suffering together!!! He has his arms around me tight…I can’t trace his hand right now so I’m trusting his heart…I hope that you guys understand and I’m sending this to a few other people too that don’t have LJ’s….and I’m Sorry!!!!!!! I feel like a really Crappy friend right now I really didn't want to say any of this but, it's not far for you guyz to be in the dark....I guess to I didn't want to complain about how crappy my life is nor burn you guyz out cause I know some of your thoughts on that and didn't want that nor a roll of the eyes but, hopefully you’ll understand….I'm sorry again and hope that I didn't hurt any of you!

=D so Celisse and I…..were thee most craziest girls today! L-town is flooded (insert for those who don't do well with sarcasm! Its not really flooded!!!!) We went to Blackbird today and found that various paths were covered over with water…and one of the paths looked like a creek and was moving pretty fast….. So we followed it down to the park where Celisse slid down the slide and landed into the flooded playground….Where I was hehe nm;)...then one of us had a bright idea of lets go see what barns beach looks like….So we started to make our way over and the water soon became up to about our shoulders(still on the path)….then my cell phone rang and its my work….lol the funniest part of the conversation was when she asked me how I was and I said great….after my four minute and thirty six second phone call I hear “Ahhh” …..”What?!”….” Crystal, P-P-P- Porter potties!”…..”Ah that means….ah Celisse sick!”. Hahahaha….yeah! It was quit the day thankz Celisse! I needed it! And now I’m all clean! And don’t think that I’ve ever felt sooooo clean! Lights Out=D

What do you do when you feel as though God has called you one way and you feel at his peace about it but, then he brings somebody else to bring up the way that you don’t have peace about the side he’s not leading you too…. I’m so Confused and don’t know what to do?! Am I being tested or am I hearing Christ wrong? I feel like I’m where God wants me and don’t feel convicted over my past few decisions...I’ve talked with Adults and Friends that I trust to tell me No, that’s not right or that doesn't sound like the way that he's leading you towards but, Above all I feel God saying “Yes, theses things are what I’m asking of you”....But, I have a few people questioning me? I know that I’m hurting, I'm Drained, and that I need to just keep trusting and following Christ but Why, is the doubt of theses few people getting to me so badly...I think it's mainly cuz I'm so over whelmed:( or maybe cause I've pushed past the pain and them bringing it up is causing me to feel some of it again...Please Christ rescue me!

This morning I past a really bad accident just a little ways before cashmere…..there were four cars in a ditch and a double dump truck that broke in two which took about 20ft off a guardrail. Half of it was lying in the ditch and the other going up a hill……there were many cars and Simi-trucks that were enclosed by flares and police cars….and by an ambulance I say a white sheet being placed upon a blood stained body…It felt like a nightmare or a movie.....A few hours later I learned that I had missed all this by five minutes……The thought of “that could have been me, if I had left a couple minutes earlier”…was overwhelming…Today was such a strong reminder, to me that. We never know when will leave this earth and that we need to try to make the most out of the short time that God has given us on this earth……and looking back on this morning….trying to get out of the house and everything seeming to go wrong…..Now I know why! God was delaying me, it wasn’t my time….Thank-You Jesus for keeping me safe!!! I’m so happy to be alive!!!
