RUMINATION means:
1 : to go over in the mind repeatedly and often casually or slowly
2 : to chew repeatedly for an extended period.
Intransitive verb definition is
1 : to chew again what has been chewed slightly and swallowed : chew the cud
2 : to engage in contemplation

This page will be a little different from now on. I will be posting WEEKLY scriptures for us all to RUMINATE over. Think upon, Ponder, to chew on it. We as Christ Followers are called to Read, LISTEN, AND APPLY the Word to our lives. I desire to give an opportunity to you for personal growth along with me. Take what you read here and meditate upon it and find ways to apply it to your everyday life. I invite you to leave your comments, corrections, concerns, whatever they may be I want to hear from you!!!

Getting started

Well, what a crazy time it has already been since I arrived here in St. Croix on Sept. 4th. I been so busy trying to get everything put into its place, running around getting apartment Stuff and working that I have had very little down time. The other leaders and I have been reviewing applications, going over tasks that must be complete before school starts. It is a very time consuming process that I am so happy to have 3 1/2 weeks to complete.

As of right now we have 5 students and one applicant. We are praying God will send more. To comfortably pay for the airfare of the speakers we bring in each week, we need about 12 students. We are confident that God has a special purpose for this school and we are trusting in Him to speak to the hearts of students and bring them here.

As far as everything else, the weather is ok, because of the storms all around in the Caribbean it has been wet. Which in a way is nice because it cools down pretty good at nights which makes it easier to sleep. When the sun does shine through the clouds it is EXTREMELY warm.. I LOVE IT! I have spent 2 afternoons sitting on the beach writing some letters and filling out paper work and it was SO DELIGHTFUL!


We just received word today that starting in November our Staff Fees will be raised. I know it is not a surprise to God and so therefore I am not worried. I know he will provide all the finances I need on a monthly basis.
Thank you so much for all your prayers, I know they are working because I am staying sane in all the projects that I am working on!!!
