If you haven't heard about this little girl yet, I encourage you to do so. This is Britt Merrick's daughter...he is the pastor at Reality Carpenteria. She is 5 years old & has cancer. Click the link & pray! :)


So Speaker's Week just ended. It went really well, it was based on ministry. The Lord showed me a lot through that class & it was awesome. I came to the realization that everything I do - is about Jesus. That's the whole point of dying to yourself...is so He is glorified. God is good.

So the plan so far is for me to come home in December, but we'll see what the Lord does...I love it here & wouldn't mind staying over break until May when I graduate. Please pray that I would be guided by the Lord, I need wisdom in what to do!

Remember that you are a special treasure to God - He loves you & He cherishes you.
