me & lauren yesterday...studying :)


Girl's night!

About to do some homework, just made some pizza, having a girls night around 10pm since all the boys are gone (at least the American ones) & then...going to sleep & Lord willing going to Churillos to see the kids :) Today was a good day, why? Because He cares for me.


Love you all.

Prayer request:
Guidance for next semester & break.
From the looks of it right now, I'll be flying home Dec 6th...unless the Lord guides me else where. I want to do what He wants, so please pray that I will have wisdom & an open heart & mind.
No matter what though, "Where God guides, God provides..." I have nothing to worry about!

2 Chronicles 20:12b "nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You."

God bless!


I miss youuuuuuu!

2 Corinthians 5:17

Hmm...So I have spent all day, not doing homework. This is unacceptable.

But, it's been a productive day at the same time.

1. God is revealing things to me like never before in my Peter class..

2. I finally got the...what's the word...I don't know but I'm finally deleting my Facebook. I have my own personal reasons of deleting it but I definitely believe it's what the Lord wants for me.

3. It's one of my really good friends birthday! :)


4. I'm a new creation in Christ.

5. I cooked really good chinese food today with Jaunita, Matt & Alicia.


I take so much for granted, for instance, being here & being a child of God. I pray that you don't do the same. It's not fun haha...I think that when I start taking those for granted I have the worst days. I've been learning a lot about obedience this semester. Obedience...eeeeek. It's hard but you know what else I've been learning - He gives the strength I need. All I have to do is accept it. I wish all of you could experience what I'm experiencing. I'm learning so much.

It's funny how after a year in Bible College, I'm finally getting it. Obviously I don't know everything & I won't know everything ever in this life...but I'm learning, praise God. My heart is overwhelmed with joy. You know why? Because of Him.


God is good, therefore life is good.

Daisy...

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.

:)

Mainly pictures :D

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening :)

So...there is a lot to cover & I'm going to try to squeeze it all in here.
Last Saturday I didn't go to Ventanilla, instead I went to Churillos! It was a smaller ministry that needed some more help. I had an awesome time a lot of fun & the kids had such a good time! Here are some pictures from then:







Today, Friday, we finished Matthew class! :D It was so good & I learned more than I thought I was going to. We took our exam today & I got 100% Praise the Lord, it was awesome. Studying definitely pays off!

Last Friday a few of us went to Crepes & Waffles...& here are some pictures :D






I don't remember if I mentioned this yet, but I have my M1 (Servanthood class) in the Kitchen, and I love it! I love learning how to cook, I definitely want to cook some of the Peruvian food when I get home.

The next class I'll be taking is on Prophecy and Dan Edwards is teaching it, I'm pretty sure that's his name. I'm excited about that, it doesn't have any homework :)The class after that will be 1&2 Peter.

I love you all & hope you're doing well :)

Here are some extra pictures :)
