I am on my way to a concert on an Island here. I chose to use a long piece of lace as a headband, found at your local fabric store. I am also wearing plain old jean shorts and a black slip on skirt as a shirt. Not everything you own is meant for its original purpose :)

I am still in Kingston at this present moment, sitting in my kitchen, waiting for my double chocolate cookies to bake.
Here's the recipe: Yummy :)
I have about 5 days left in this town, and I feel as though the timing is fairly perfect. I hate leaving friends, seeing as we have such a wonderful time together, and I will miss them dreadfully until the winter when I see them next.
I am preparing myself (and by myself I mean my heart, my head and my spirit) to become an RA for a group of young women this year. I am not prepared. I do not say this because I am nervous or scared but rather because I can't seem to get around the idea of me being a role model. It's one thing to live in a dorm and a whole other thing to be the leader of it. I'm not afraid of being vulnerable, I have been that before, but I am afraid of how they will react. I'm scared of them getting tired of me, or frustrated. I have a tendency to over-do things... personality wise.
I know that there is an amazing support system who is 100% behind me and I have a God that knows exactly what each girl needs and that I am placed there for a reason.
I will continue to pray about my path and about the girls entering my dorm. I will be strong and brave and ready to show my heart.
