Spring has sprung and so has this new blog..


Alright, here I am. Despite my technological problemas and a fatal attempt to blog through planetranger.com, I have now fully entered this blogging world. I really didn't think the day would come. I guess I just couldn't deny the advantages.

As I sit here, I'm thinking ahead to all of the posts that will track the faithfulness of God in my life and in this world. I hope that this will be a great way to connect with my friends, family, and any other extended contacts that wish to hear about my journey towards and through an short term (one year) internship program with Campus for Christ in PANAMA! Words could not express my excitement and anticipation to go on this adventure, to fully rely on God's guidance and not my own fears in the process. How will i deal being away from Canada? Will I be able to communicate in Spanish? How ever will there be enough funding to go? And where will it come from? Despite all the lingering questions in my head I am well aware that God, the foundation of life and this journey he's placed me in, knows what He's doing. And all I want to do is trust him, let him lead the way because Lord knows I would mess things up!

Alright, so have I mentioned how excited I am about this summer? And this day is such a blessing, i love dramatic rainy/windy/bursts of sunshine days. I plan on retrieving all my studio work from school, a little planning of my week, a little reading "funding your ministry" and hanging out with my dearest friend Robyn Asplen (aka. babu, bobby, boeboe, babs, beans, beanzoid, t-bone, i could go on) who just walked in the door!

And how could I forget to mention how happy I am to be an aunt for the 3rd time to a wonderfully beautiful niece, Annalise born on Saturday, April 21st to my brother Dan and his wife Sandi. This world is full of miracles, she is one of them.

Okie doke, that's it for today folks.

Hebrews 11:1
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
