The 2 weeks and 5 day mark

Well it's about time for another one of these fun little things!!! yaaaa and I've got a picture this time!!! So this is my room!! well it's bigger than this but mine is the top bunk. As you can see it's rather homey. I've got those pictures up there and since I took that picture I've put more!! Ya it's fun! let me tell you. Underneath me sleeps a wonderful woman by the name of Christina. She's really nice and altho we haven't gotten to know each other very well we like each other. It's about time that her and I go out for coffee. Then on the other side of this room...on the floor...with a matress of course sleeps Helen. She is also a wonderful roomie and we have a lot of fun talking about lots of different things in life.

Lets see what else can I tell you!!! oh oh our first student arrived yesterday. Yes it seems kind of early, but she's here to learn english alittle bit better before the school starts. Our school by the way stars on the 14th of Febuary. It's going to be really sweet. We feel that God's got a lot to say on this school about destiny and really starting that off from the begging. Almost setting them up for the end of dts. It's really sweet. Things are getting in to full swing here. I've finished my certificate 4 training stuff and now I'm in to the BLS training. We've got lots of home work and things to work on. So i'm doing alot of things here and there having lectures and getting used to running the busy life. Hopefully I'll get all the important things that I need to get done first.

Something that God has been teaching me of lately...and this has to do with a few things that I've learned in lectures is that the not so fun stuff that i'm going through right now is soo preparing me for what is to come. There needs to be a preparing peroid in our lives. If you think about all the influencial people in the bible lets take Abraham. God promised him to be the father of many nations. Now when God promised him that he didn't give it to him right away he actually wait 20 years. Yep that's right Abraham didn't get his son till he was about 110 years of age. There was a preparation time for Abraham. Then take Jesus; he was 30 years old when he had his first public outting when he was batized and then after that he started doing his ministry which was only 3 years. That's a whole other thing in itself cause he did that much stuff in 3 years. Anyway for that 30 years he was being prepared for what was to come. Do you see what I'm getting at? God at this moment is preparing me and you for something greater. It's a cool thing to think about. I had it described to me something like this. It's we're rough stones and God is sanding us down to me smooth stones that he can use. Think about the stones that David used to kill Goliath...they were smooth stones and it even says it in the bible. That is what killed Goliath and God wants to take us and make us in to smooth stones so that we too can take down those giants in our lives. Our so called "trials" will make us smoother and smoother. It's a really interesting way to think about it and helped me out a lot. lol so that's my little devotional of the day. yippe. I love you all and hey have a good day when ever you read this.

Home safe and sound!

Hey everyone,
So I made it here safe and sound....Let me tell you it was along flight, but I made it. First it was saskatoon to calgary a not so long flight. Then from calgary to san fran where i was able to sleep...ya sleeping! Then on from San fran was the 13 hour flight to hong kong where we refuels and let a few people off here or there. After this hour or so we went to singapore which was another three hours. It was pretty long, but God helped me last through it. On the flight to singapore I met a really neat young woman and we got talking on the plane for a peroid of time. Soon when we got off the plane in the singapore airport we found ourselves spending much of the nine hour lay over together. She was heading out to India to do some works of service there and we just really had some neat conversations about God and what he ment to each of us. The also really good thing about singapore airlines is that you can purchase a shower or shall I say the use of one for only 6 american dollars. THIS WAS AMAZING! Well talking to my new found friend was even better, but after a long time on flights there is nothing like a hot shower to make you feel better.
Soon my friend and I parted ways and off I went from singapore to brisbane which is about a 7 hour flight. I soon found my self there at the airport walking out and meeting Adam. It's been good to be back. There have deffinately already been some tough times tho. I'm in a bit of a transitional feel right now. Because last time I was here I was a student. So i don't feel like a student and I do feel slightly like a staff member, but I don't know all of my responsiblities etc so it's been interesting to get the feel around here. If you could be praying that the transition goes well and that God is continually share his heart on things with me (his will would be clear in everything) that would be amazing! I know I'm supposed to be here forsure in Brisbane and am soo excited for a school to start.
Tomorrow my trianing will begin so it should be pretty interesting and informative. It's going to be a good one! Well I love you all and I'll be posting some more.
God bless
