Children at Risk DTS

I mentioned a couple posts ago that I'm going to Wisconson in September-March next year.

I just thought I would attach the web-link: http://www.ywammadison.org/dts/kids-at-risk/

Blitzed

Played Dutch Blitz all afternoon :)

It was "Vonderful Goot Fun!"

P.S. I love the Dutch Blitz Poem (I hope its ledgible)

Is it on?

Funny moment on the way home from GEMS tonight:

We were all squished into Crub's truck. Cousin J, Cousin G, and Cousin C. Cousin C is 7 so he had to sit in the front of the truck between me and Crub because He is the smallest.

Crub: "C is lucky he gets special seat in shotgun!"

With a worried look Cousin C asks:

Cousin C: "Is it on?"

BAHAHA. I laughed.

Ritz

Ritz liked to play

In the Barn among the hay

She was a little calf

She always made me laugh

If you had met this cow

You might have said "Wow"

Ritz was black and white

And me, she never did bite

This is also cause we never met

I had not gotten there yet

But a special bond we did share

For the baby cow, Ritz, I did care

Rest in Peace Ritz.

This is a tribute to Ritz. She never did live to see her first birthday (she did not even live to see her 1/2 birthday). She was the best cow I ever had the privilege of naming.

Not my Will but Yours be done

Not my will but Yours be done….It’s a prayer Jesus prayed. I started praying this prayer at the beginning of Grade 11. Grade 11 for me was when I started to realize that the classes I took counted toward something. I was looking toward what I was supposed to do after high school and praying where God was leading me go. Rather than a nursing program that I thought I would be attending next year, God lead me to apply to Youth With A Mission Discipleship Training School.

It wasn’t a one-day answer. God spoke to me many times over this past year, through different scripture passages or even through people (some of whom I did not even know). Sometimes I was sure that God was calling me to do this and then others I would think that it was in my head. God was patient with me and over and over confirmed that I needed to trust Him and that this was what He wanted me to do.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take” Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT)

YWAM schools are all around the world and each school has different focuses. A friend of mine loves dance so she attended a school that used her gift of dance to praise God and reach out also as a ministry for God. Other schools include talents such as sports or passions such as social justice. I knew that God was going to use me where he thought I could best serve using the gifts and talents he has given me.

And that is how I found the Children at Risk DTS in Madison, Wisconsin. I have a passion and love for working with kids. The program runs from September 18, 2011 to March 6, 2012. In Children at Risk DTS I will first be spending time in discipleship training on topics such as developing a Christian lifestyle and our role in world missions. After the training I will be going 10 weeks of field ministry ministering to Children at Risk. The outreaches usually go to Asia, Africa, Latin America, or the Caribbean including ministry to the poor, needy, orphans, refugees, and slum communities through evangelism, teaching, and work projects

I am excited to share this with you all, my church family and friends. I covet your prayers as God prepares my heart for all he has in store for next year. Please also pray for the teachers and other individuals that will be attending the DTS that God will prepare their hearts as well.

When you pray something, expect God to answer because he does.

Not my will but Yours be done.

My Handsome Lil' Man

Heres the Handsome little man in my life. He has an array of beautiful Blue and Orange/Yellow fins. He brings me a lot of joy. He happily swims all day. He never complains. He always eats all his food and he hardly makes a mess in his tank. Nacho Crub Dos. My Handsome Lil' Man. Don't ever change!

Midterm Mark

We are at the mid-term mark folks.

This means that there is only half of a Semester left of highschool! 75% done grade 12! This also means that I am 93.75% done my Highschool career! WOW

If you can't tell, I am extremely excited for this year to be over. Just Half a Semester left. Just Half a Semester left.
