Week off!

So we are currently in day two of our week off and so far it has been so nice! Its drama week for the people who are in it, so for them it will be intense, but so far, my week has consisted of scrapbooking, biking (almost hit a tree the other day! Not cool!), relaxing and babysitting. Oh and lets not forget the homework as well! I managed to get through a book and do the weekly chapter things for it, so thats one thing down, and only like 50 to go! Its insane but oh th elife of a college student! I stopped by work the other day just to say hey and all. It was wierd being the one to walk in and not have to work! Same faces and all and same job. It was good. Though I dont miss it now, come summer it will be nice to head back there I think.... long hours but decent money so that is good also. So yah just a quick update as yet again I should be working on homework having just finished babysitting all day. Off to hit the books! ENjoy some random pics from school so far!

Brother Benidict week review

A week update-This last week was really good. We had what was callled a brother benidict week. Sunday we started off the evening with a meeting about the week. I typical day consisted of waking up after 6ish, prayer from 7-8. Breakfast, class/study time, lunch (most fasted through it), class/study time, then either a spiritual discipline, or someting else such as the sandilands, RASK, or yah. THe evening was more study time, the free time 8-10, followed by daily examean, and then nice and early bed at 11! That was so nice. Thursday-Friday night we had an all night vigil and it was good. When we were at the Sandilands, that was so good. I sat down under an evergreen tree and it was total de ja vu from sweden. I was sitting under the tree with a bag lunch, bible and journal. I think i found out why I like evergreen trees, its because they remind me of God. THe out reaching branches remind me of Gods grace, with how he reaches his safety, telling us to come into his arms. THe overbearingness of the height of the tree reminds me that God's Love prevails. That he is greater then our weakness or struggles. THe fact that they are called evergreens, reminds me that God is everlasting, it never fails or dies. That was my little insight for the week. IT was quite awesome.
School is still going good-this next week is crazy with mid terms and exams. Prayer for that would be great. Friends are amazing, and I am thanking God everyday for them! Thanks guys for everything!

An update from SBC

Ok well technically I am not at SBC, I am at home. But an update nonethe less. Life continues to go good and yah i know that may sounds like a repeat or a broken record, but its true. God is
Good! THis last week we had open dorm ad it was pretty awesome, everyone did such an awesome job! Thursday night we had a fireside at the fire pit at school and it was just a great time of worship, songs, sharing and praying for each other. Reminded me again why I love SBC. After that, we hung on in a room in dorm, a few of us, and ate food, laughed, told stories and got to know one another more! It was so fun! Its so awsome how SBC has felt so much like home so quickly, it makes me wonder why I ever doubted it. So right now, I just want to give thanks. Thanks to the people there, my friends there who are challenging me, keeping me accountable, praying for me, and caring for me. Thanks to the profs who continue to challenge us, as well as praying for us. Thanks to the support at home, the church and all of it. But most importanly, All the praise and thanks and honour goes to God. For everything that he has done, and everything that he will do yet. We are a month and a half into the year and so far he proved time and time again his love and grace and goodness. I am stoked to see what the rest of the year has to bring yet!
