SYDNEY AND AMY AND FULLER

This post is dedicated to three wonderful women whom I have been blessed by immensely this semester! BUT FIRST.... I just finished my final final of my undergraduate college career. I think that means that I am OFFICIALLY finished with college. Oh man.

Just in case the title of this post wasn't obvious enough, I am talking about Sydney, Amy, and Fuller. To everyone who doesn't know them... you're missing out. Big time!

Amy (affectionately referred to as 'Amycita') is a beautiful bundle of energy and joy. She is such a great person to be around! Amy is a master at making people feel loved and special, and I have been so blessed to get to know her this semester! We have had a great time flying over the Nazca lines (she's a real trooper--she was sitting next to me in that itty-bitty plane while I was throwing up!), baking yummy goodies, playing futbol, and walking miles and miles and miles all over Arequipa together. Amy's joy is contagious, and I just love being around her!!!

Sydney (affectionately referred to as 'Sydneycita') is awesome! The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Sydney is the beautiful encouragement that she has been to me! There have been multiple times this semester when God has given her the EXACT words that I have needed to hear, and she has obediently spoken them. Sydney is pretty quiet, but some of the most wonderful conversations that I've had in months have been with her. Seeing this woman live her faith has been so incredibly encouraging to me!!!

Three words that come to mind when I think of Fuller are: authentic, genuine, and loyal. This lady is super cool! I have sat next to her for hours on busses, and we have had some great conversations. She can always make me smile, and she is a super fun person to be around!! I especially enjoy singing on the soccer field with her. She is a beautifully inviting person--being around her is an invitation to be comfortable and at home, yet challenged to keep fighting the good fight.

It is so hard to believe that I didn't know these three people before this semester! I have loved getting to k now them and I am so very thankful that God put them on this trip and let us become sisters here in Peru.

Lord Jesus, I thank You for Amy and Sydney and Fuller and I pray that You would abundantly dumb blessings on these ladies! Guide them in the months to come as they continue to take classes. Fill them with Your joy and Your love and Your peace and everything that comes from You. And God, draw them deeper into You that they might know You more and more and more, that they might get lost in wonder of Your love and Your goodness day after day!
