Small steps, but cool!

Ok so i am here getting settled into classes, a new set of ppl, new relationships. In the past week, i have been able to work my faith, and even my relationship with Christ into conversations. As my title suggests its not been the type if thing where i was able to go through the "plan of salvation" or anything like that, but its so cool when you can do anything to share yourfaith. We did this exercise the other day called "escape from Primavera Island" Its where there are 12 ppl stranded on this island, a tsunami is about to hit, and only 7 ppl can be saved. As a group u have to decide which 5 die. One person was a Rabi, and our group was thinking we were going to leave him on the island. Well one girl pipes up and says she couldnt ever kill a religious leader, her catholic background wouldnt let her. I begain to speak, and talked about how for a person of faith , life isnt just what's lived on earth. That real life begins after death. and for a Leader, a rabi in this case, but a pastor, preist, or Emam of other religions, they wait for that. To a degree that is what they spend thier life doing, preparing for the after life. I was than asked by our Prof. if someone wanted my place on the helicopter, would i give it up. Confidently i said "Deffinatly!" ppl looked at me, one even stated she didnt believe me. i responded "hey i have no fear in death, i dont need to" Later a girl told me how impressed she was by me and my thoughts on the whole thing. I know its little but its a seed right? Plus a couple other times it came up about me being a person of faith, and how important it is to me. Anyway, its gonna be interesting to see what may come of it all. I need to pray for God to use me here. I know i am right where i am supposed to be. I am soo at peace here its incredible. God is showing me Favor and i need to be carefull to thank Him daily for that. Well thats it for me, im off to hit the books.
Love ya!

Update!

So it is almost the end of week one of classes, and it is finally starting to pick up. We actually did work today and i am so thankful!!! I was getting pretty bored!!!! Tonight we have a few chapters to read and although it is all reveiw for me i am going to enjoy reading it. I have come to realize that this semester is going to be a HUGE review. there is barely anything being covered that i havent already learned/experienced. Oh well thats life.
My day started out pretty frenzied. I overslept, to start. Showered quick threw gel in my hair and pulled up the mess of curls. Grabbed a travel mug of coffee and a meal replacement bar. Out the door i headed when I realized i didnt have any keys. I went to my purse, nothing, dresser, nothing. I looked EVERYWHERE! I prayed and asked God for a clear mind, when i got a "brainwave" to look in the couch cusion. There they were...of course. So i head to class, walking VERY fasgt up the hill to campus. I sit down and took a sip of my much needed coffee. And what should happen, but it dripped on my very light pink shirt. ACK!! Anyway the day continued and it didnt get a whole lot beter. Untill i got home. I got home and decided to call the church to get a phone # of someone who could drive me to church, r at least a few #'s of ppl whom i could ask. So the secretary told me she would ask around, then she said pastor Seth wanted to talk to me. He and i had a great chat, about ministry and stuff. Then I got back on the phone with Lisa and and she had found me a ride. I have never felt so at home at a church other than metro. I am soo blessed !!!!!!!!!!

Fall

There was a chill in the air as i got ready to go to the grocery store. I put on a sweater and my "puffy vest" and headed out. The smell of new apples mixed with this climate adjustment reminded me that Fall has deffinately arrived.
Fall brings with it many things. The begining of school, the harvest, pumpkins, and for church goers, the start of many new and pre-existing ministries. This year I will begin my fall season at a new church, a new home and a new school. I am going to meet with the pastor soon to figure out which ministries i can be plugged into. I am looking forward to that. I love to be involved in my church, it gives me a sese of belonging, helps me to make it "my own"
I guess this post is rather random and perhaps even nonsensical, however it is a post that was in my head .
Ciao!
