12 am Monday- ready to journey across the earth

I have one more night after I (finially) turn in tonite- or this morning. I am tired but I wanted to get out a quick blog. Today was an interesting day all around. I found out that my dufflebag was so heavy I could barely lift it-unpacked and repacked three times. Downsizing stinks. But, loading a heavy bag around in hot island weather doesn't tickle my fancy either

Earlier tonight, at church, I spent my last service taking communion and getting things straight with God. I basically just told Him I was gonna try to trust Him completely this summer. And also that I wanted this summer to be special, different. Not just an emotional high, but a real life altering expierence. My eyes got wet as I drank from the cup and bit the bread. If He can die the way He did, I wanna live because of Him and for Him. I poured out my heart to Him. Just got real before Him. This is it, God. Me and You traveling across the world together. Help me tell boldy of the love I have come to know.
After church, I was in the parking lot of Sports Authority, getting sprinkled on and headed to the car. Bailey said,"Kaylee, look quick!" Above us was one faint rainbow and one that lit up the cloudy sky. I am normally not the type who looks at something and compares it to something spiritual. Alot of bloggers have a natural talent for this skill(anybody remember pluthpastor's 'weavils in my raisins' blog?) I don't consider myself very observant in that way. However, tonight, as I looked up at that rainbow, I thought about how the sky was so dark and cloudy but God shined through with a rainbow. Corny, I know. But, it was beautiful. I felt filled with wonder at God. He will never leave me or forsake me. That was a special moment. Luckily I had my camera and snapped a picture before it faded out. I am trying to say what I felt like God was saying through that rainbow to me, but I can't explain it. I was just so comforted.
Rainbows aside, I leave tomorro..which sounds weird because I haven't gone to bed on Sunday night yet and it is monday morning now...hmm..tommorro. whoa.
Oh, I am hopefully going to post some specific prayer requests on the blog before I head out for the summer. Maybe anyways. Tommorro is gonna be busy. Hope I get to blog, if not, talk to ya in the Philippines! Peace.
