so who knew...


that i would become a blogging fanatic! yesterday when i finished posting i went to the kitchen and started cooking and thought of tons of stuff to tell you guys! you guys meaning my one blog follower. For the sake of protecting her identity i will call her, pregnant silence. she is my roomate here in india. So yeah. just got soo much to say. so i started taking notes about what to say tommorrow and decided NO. these blogs are going to be so fresh. hot out of the oven of my mind! who wants a blog thats been in the fridge for a fortnight! scratch that. got a little too fancy there. didnt kno "fortnight" meant two weeks. So this is pretty darn fresh,
Ephesians 1:3
"Blessed be the God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will to the praise of his glorious grace with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption though his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullnes of time to unite all things in him things in heaven and things on earth."
Some things,
-we are blessed in Christ with every spiritual blessing. I RECIEVE THAT. haha
-i am adopted in love as a daughter of the king.
-through his blood we are reconciled to him.
-because we are reconciled to him we are united with all good perfect things in him. heaven and on earth.
So with working with a team out here. thats very important. being united in him. i also think its cool cause i like my friends and fam allot and to be one with all the good things about them would be very enjoyable! im not going to mention any names, cause i dont want anyone getting freaked. like what Ali wants to be one with me? uk! but i totally wouldnt mind being one with all the (many many) awesome things about my mom. that would be A ok.
Pray this saturday and all saturdays we are doing dance and art lessons at a childrens home outside the city.
Praise started dance classes with embassy and foreigner kids and it was a blast!
i am starting a section called yesterdays bagels. Referring back to the fresh analogy. these are thoughts from yesterday.

YESTERDAYS BAGELS
i already talked alot today so im goin to keep this short.
before i went to bed last night i thought of a funny interaction with a cop i had at the dmv. it made me laugh then i went to sleep. My friend, wel call her "the prisoner" (im goin to make a character list next blog of important people in my life. its goin to be fun!). okay so i took the prisoner to go and get her license at the dmv. as we pulled up to the facility a cop was standing in the middle of the road. i slowed down and began to roll my window down expecting that he had something to tell me or he needed me to tell him something. so i roll my window down and say "do i have to tell you anything?" and he says "i dont know. do you have anything to tell me?" and i say "not really but i hope you have a nice day?!" me, the cop, and the prisoner proceeded to crack up. i love that story for some reason. i miss the prisoner. i think my aunt would be good at blogging. im going to tell her that.
my neck hurts from typing,

Im in delhi india,

drinking chai and sweating profusely. Im going to start this blog in order to post some pics from my travels for my peeps back home. HOLLA. I am very tempted to say holla again in all caps because i just successfully communicated to our maid "after you are finished cleaning, rebecca said to grate the cheese in the bowl." primita said "all the cheese?" and i said "all the cheese". so proud of myself. but then the dust bin vala came to the door and i had nooo clue what he was saying. so that pretty much negated all that happened. and im back to zero. :( kya ka roon? what to do! love to all in jersey,

o wait! okay so the name of this blog is All My Springs because i might be blogging past India into the future, so therefore i decided to let this blog be about all wells of beauty in my life. I must mention a friend who is a professor of lightning bug science when i mention this verse. He and his BELOVED sister showed it to me. And once i got to India (ahhhh! i just heard a gunshot outside what the heck? nvm.) where was i, once i got to india i meditated on it allot. And then this anonymous professor emailed it to me again! CONFIRMATION. WATCH OUT! haha. "Psalm 87:7 Singers and Dancers alike say all my springs are in you." I must find my home in the Lord. He is my anchor and my only delight. Through God everything exists and has its being. Hebrew 11:3 "By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible." one of my favorite verses! I just came back from Nanni tal and whenever I looked out on the land the mountains with brightly colored houses and people my heart was so full. Each landscape it was like God was speaking poetry to me. What words did he use to create India? How will i respond? kabi kabi (sometimes) being completely quiet, kabi kabi singing and dancing A LOT!
k bye,
