Look at the time....

so yeah like I said before in my very first post, I'm not good with this whole blog thing....i haven't posted since july!!!!...

Well for whoever wants to know, I'm attending Bethany Bible College in Sussex, NB and I love it. I have a super awesome roommate and an awesome apartment, not to mention the other amazing people i've met. God is really teaching me a lot here at BBC. I'll try to remember to tell you about it later. It's 1 am and I've got class @ 8 am so goodnight y'all (for my many fellow students from south of the border....

Miami heat....and rain.......then skip some days

Well it was a nice change today in weather. While the teens learn the drama, i decided to relax this afternoon after the past few days of training and having the teens arrive yesterday. I took a walk down to starbucks and enjoyed the nice sprikle the clouds gave me. It was refreshing. After ordering my drink I sat down and opened up my Bible to Romans. Wow, God sure had a lot of grace to claim us as people of righteousness.



Some of you may have gotten an email the other day since I couldn't get on here. But Now that I am I hope to update quite a bit.



Last night's FUAGNEM (Fired Up And Going Nuts Every Minute) (our evening worship rally) was really powerful, I think God is going to do amazing things in the lives of the teens on this trip. Pray that these students would have a burning desire to follow God and be able to let go of anything that is holding them back.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so we´ve been in peru since the wee hours of friday morning after two long flights and 7 hour layover in mexico city. finally got to bed and asleep at almost 3 am and had to be up for breakfast for 7am........not fun. the first ministry day was good.....expect for the fact that the weather is the oppostie of what it should be...it was very sunny and warm....and those of you that personally know me probably know what resulted from this warm and very sunny day.....a red face. other wise it was a good day.

fuagnem was good too. Susie talked about being spiritually asleep and how many of us have put God on the outside. It was an emotional night for the teens.

well i´m running out of time so i´ll catchup on the days later..

Why we need caffeine


I work at Tim Hortons where i constantly make and serve coffee and tea for those who choose to drink it. ( I'll be the first to say I hate tims coffee, but i like all their teas.) Today while at work, my mind went back to a sermon I heard one Sunday at Brunswick Street Baptist Church in Fredericton, when i was still going to STU. It was about how we as Christians need to be caffeinated as we was with Jesus. You may be thinking "what is she talking about?" While i can't remember any of the scriptures mentioned I'm going to give the Reader's Digest recap of the sermon.
Terry appears with 2 coffee-type drinks: a coffee cup from tim hortons and one from starbucks. HE begins to talk about a book that I actually want to buy now, "The Gospel According To Starbucks." I was a bit confused as how this related to a church sermon. But Terry went on to give examples of two types of Christians, Caffeinated Christians, and Decaf Christians. Decaf christians are those who want to relax in their walk with God, taking it slow, and sleep through the night. (Yes this is what he said, It makes more sense when compared to the Caffienated christian) A caffienated christian is a person who is on fire for christ and wants to be awake so they don't miss any of God's goodness, and is ready for God to transform their life. And as Christians, we must be caffeinated if we want to live in God's Purpose.
So bringing you back to the present moment. This came to mind as I am in the very center of the caffeine crazed world. I kept thinking, Am I really really craving the caffeine in my own life as I live for Jesus, or am I sitting back and taking the decaf route of life?

Hello Blogger World


So while i'm not technically new to the blogging world as i sometimes would blog on my MySpace, the world of constant, and frequent blogging is very much new. I want to start blogging as a way to develop some journaling about my life as i go through a huge transition in my life, and try to figure out God's purpose in my life. So bear with me as it might be a bumpy start but I know that once i get the hang of it, I will probably be on hear quite a bit.
