Crazy african I will be!!

    I'm going to live in a hut in Northern Africa...woo hoo

AHH!!

   So I'm off to IMB conference next week to find out what I will be doing with the next two years of my life...ahhh!  I'm so excited and so ready...but scared to death at the same time!  God is good though and he know's what the future holds.

   So, for those of you who know me I tend to have random dreams.  The other night I had a dream that I got married at Taco Bell...what the heck.  I don't even like Taco Bell that much and can't even tell you the last time I was there!  I woke up with that...I hope this doesn't come true kinda feeling...I mean who wants to get married at Taco Bell! We did get free taco's out of the deal though!!  I hate it though, cause any time I dream of me getting married or someone being in love with me, I never get to see his face.  Last week I had a dream that I was going on a hike around my house and there was a dead bear in the road standing on it's head!  What does this mean...I need a dream analyzer!

   I hope everyone has a great weekend...make wise choices ; )

            So I have decided that you are poorer after college than during!  See during college, you have bills and such, but your not so much paying for school, it you have loans, till after college.  Also during college you get alot of free meals or special deals just for being a college student.  After college, no one cares that you graduated with a degree.  No one cares that even though you work like a crazy person, you still DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY! No more free meals, special deals, or using the old excuse  "I'm in college".  Don't get me wrong, I love my life right now....but I could use a free meal every now and then ; )

        I really don't like Clemson University.  Ok, I probably like the university as a whole, but I really don't like their stupid football team.  They made me a little angry yesterday and I so wanted to go kick them in the shins.  I mean, who do they think they are beating NC by 49 points...that wasn't their game to win...yuck...that's all I can say.  If you like Clemson, well then your dead to me...sorry!

       On a more serious note, I was listening to an old song the other talking about how "we should abandon it all, for the sake of the call".  Those lyrics really got me to think about where I am right now and would I REALLY abandon it ALL just for the sake of the call.  I talk about my passion for the nations and how I have such a passion for all to know him, but am I, little Sarah Herzog, willing to give up everything just because He asks me to.  Honestly, I don't know.  I want to be the good christian and say, "Well of course I would", but to tell you the truth that is something that I struggle with.  Not so much having faith that He will provide, but being prideful and selfish and wanting my nice bed or my warm house or even my great friends. I know it is something that we all will struggle with because we are flesh, but I think the more important thing here is, do we even have the desire for that call.  Trully that's where our heart change will start, don't ya think.  So I leave you with this, are you willing to abandon it all for the sake of the call?

    I hope everyone has a great week and remember to MWC...kinda like WWJD...sorry for those who don't get it....you're missin out!

     So...I had such a great weekend with my girls.  It is funny how when you can see your closest friends everyday, you take it for granted, but when they aren't there, it feels like something big is missing.  It was so fun to just sit around being goofy, talking about the past and present.  I could do that the rest of my life!!

   Ok, so I have an addiction.  Not anything illegal, but still I have a problem. I'm addicted...to...ORANGES...I know...real weird!  I don't know if my body is telling me I have a Vitamin C dificency or something, but I AM ADDICTED.  I need help...like a OA club or something (that's Orange Anonymus for those of you who didn't get it!)  I eat like an orange a day and drink the juice. The weirdest thing about it too, is that I hated oranges before. Now I crave them...weird.

   I am soo ready for fall.  I started listening to my fall music this week and I'm ready for the leaves to change and cold weather to show it's face.  I am crazy to think I can survive 2 years in Africa...maybe I'll go to Russia or somewhere cold like that...nah!

  Oh for those who care, I finally got my invitation to IMB j-man conference.  I am going Oct 18-20th.  If you care and want details, call the cell.  And yeah...I'm SUPER excited   !!

                                                LOVE and PRAYERS,

P.S.  Make wise choices ; )

Boo speeding tickets }: ( After spending a scary, yet interesting morning in traffic court, I got stuck with stupid safe driving school bright and early Saturday morning...me and all the other criminals! Eight fun filled hours of learning that speeding is bad and basically no one should really be driving.  Boooo.

On another note, I finally got my hair chopped.  For those of you who know me, I am an ever changing kind of girl and after a year of long long hair, I was done.  Thirteen inches gone from my head.  It was crazy when the lady said that was how much she cut...I didn't realize that's how much hair I had...crazy!  I really like the new cut though...and it makes my head lighter...no comments please. 

I'm house sitting this week...well really just watching my house while my parents are gone.  Anyone up for a party?! We can make quesadillas!!!

Ok, I'm off now.  I hope everyone has a wonderful week and always rememeber to make wise choices ; )
