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 was one of my favorite girls from the first week VBS, Jill!

We are on outreach!!!!  

It is such a blast, I can't tell you enough about how cool it is to finally be here working and seeing the students do what they have been training to do for the past 3 months.  Our days have been action packed with VBS and church programs.  We will be moving to a new location where it will become even more busy but that is ok.  It is outreach and that is what I expect.  It is hard to find time to really collect myself and regain my stamina but by the amazing power of God It's happening.  The team is really doing great, as long as we can stay healthy.  I have had a stuffed nose for a week and a half now.  I'm not sure what it is from but I would love it to leave my body.  I did fight a little stomach thing over the weekend but that is gone now and thank goodness I never threw up.

I don't really have any other updates to write since you all have been getting my few emails.  I am doing well personally, daily I'm challenged with making sure I have a good attitude and staying focused on the tasks at hand.  Of course it is different as a leader than it was as a student but not to much.  I just get to make decissions and hear our opportunities first!!!  It is fun to see how it all works like finances and all that good detail stuff!  I am enjoying my time and am actually looking forward to the upcoming trip to Chinindega.  With a busy schedule it will be really challenging but very exciting.  We will be there for 6 days and then back here for 2 and onto Costa Rica on the 6th.   I miss you all so much and can't wait to give you more updates.  Pray for our health and protection!!


 There is no place that the will of God will take you that the grace of God can’t protect you.

I LOVE THIS!!!!
