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

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!!!

World View........

This week is a great week! We have our base director giving the weekly teachings! It is a great topic: Biblical Worldview. It is very interesting to hear what the other religions and people groups around the world believe and how much the world around us can effect us. Before the teaching last year I never considered my worldview, and now as I sit through the teaching again I am challenged with what I actually believe and why. Am I living for myself? Am I reading the bible and applying it to my everyday life or am I like a good portion of people not walking out what I talk. I don't want to be conformed to this world. I want when people look at me and observe my life for them to be encouraged and challenged. For them to recognize that I am doing everything in my power to see God glorified. I want people to know me for who I am and not put on a "sunday show" for them. I want the man that I am in church to be the man I am during the week. And the man I am during the week to be the same man I am in church. NO DIFFERENCE. Over the last couple weeks I have really been challenged in my position here. I have been doing a lot of thinking and searching as to what my role is in this community and ministry. I have challenged myself to do everything in my power to make relationships in the community, to partner with churches and offer our service and anything else. To get the students involved in the culture through attending other churches and really build a solid team to reach the island.

We bought our tickets to Nicaragua and Costa Rica last night!!! I'm so excited to go back overseas and see what ministry opportunities God has for us there. It will be so great! I'm looking forward to being back in Spanish culture, even though I don't speak it well I can understand it sort of!

This morning we went to a place called Grassy Point and watched the sun rise.
IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!! We had breakfast and then
did a little worship time and then came back in time for class at 10. Man I loved it! It was such an awesome place and it really reminded me how creative God is. To sit and watch the sky turn pink, orange, yellow is just awesome. I love it, each and everyday is a different sunrise and sunset, they are never the same and that boggles my mind. That God cares so much for us that everywhere we look its a reminder of his love. In all things. I love creation and I can't get enough of God's amazing power!
