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!!!

This week has been a good week. Things seem a bit slow now because we are just back into the old schedule. Last weeks speaker was incredible, talking about The Cost of Being a Disciple!! You can find it in Luke 14:25-33. It is a HUGE challenge to live up to that but we as Christ-followers must! Ministry is great, the students are being challenged and changed and it is VERY noticeable. In just 2 full months of lecture and a 10 day outreach you can see in each of them a greater desire for God. A greater desire to serve one another and others. It is so fun to be able to lead them through this transforming stage of their life!! We have had a little bit of complication is connecting with our contact in Nicaragua and Costa Rica, therefore I don't have much to report upon that. We are planning to leave here Jan. 13ish and come back Feb. 27 where we will go first is unknown, how long we'll be in each place is unknown. SO PLEASE PRAY WITH US! We need our contacts to respond to us!

Our lecture this week is about Relationships, we unfortunately have to have videos. The videos are pretty funny though made about 15 years ago, which doesn't seem long but when you see the clothes and stuff it is!! So after this week we will all know how to relate better to everyone! This weekend our childrens ministry is putting on a Christmas party for about 60-70 kids. WE are going to be swamped. It will be kinda like a mini carnival type party with different activities and stations with games! Should be fun, we are officially decorated for Christmas as well. Last night after class we all got together and had Hot Chocolate WITH CANDY CANES, Ginger snaps, and decorated our tree!!! It doesn't feel like Christmas, it never does in the tropical islands no matter how much you try but I'm pretending. As you can all imagine Christmas time is a hard time for students and staff, because most of us can't go home. So we try to make it as normal as possible!! As for me, it won't be normal but I'm thinking the best way to enjoy Christmas is the beach. It really is a treat to get to the beach believe it or not. So my plans are going to the beach as much as possible for the holidays!!!

Here is Our team from Haiti!! With YWAM Haiti staff also!
