Officially into 2007 =)

4A's completed, Christmas break is over, work has started, ministries are beginning... welcome to 2007 =)

most of my marks came back from my 4A..and needless to say, I am so thankful and have so much gratitude for God for showing me so much grace and for really teaching me perseverance and endurance this past term in waterloo... it was the most gruelling academic experience i've ever had to date and i was sick for about 1/3 of the entire term... the long nights and lack of sleep... it all paid out by the grace of God.. looks like i'll be in waterloo for another 8 months after my undergraduate degree =) the masters future is looking bright once again and i really only have God to thank for that.. it was solely His doing, not mine =) i can truly say that through the testing of my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual body, my faith has increased... The Lord is good, His faithfulness reaches throughout all the generations =)

the Christmas break was amazing... it was a really good time to spend with family and friends.. and really having great bonding and catchup times with many loved ones =) it always warms my heart to know that my relatioships are deepening through the bond we have in Christ... it is also amazing to see the work of the Lord in the lives of those i've known for so many years... to see how you all have grown and matured... it amazes me how when we were in high school, the world seemed so rosy and now i believe thsoe days were preparation for the hefty trials we three all face this day... we have all seen the internal pains and needs for healing in this dark world that is so close to home... and yet i encourage you to keep having the joy of the Lord in your hearts always... keep persevering in the fight my fellow sisters =)

updates... hmmm... well i'll be startign to attend leadership meetings for the agape high school fellowship at my chruch...as well as attend the SPLAT youth sunday service periodically..and i think perhaps co-teaching sunday school for gr 10s with the youth pastor at RHCCC... and a bit moe involvement in the prayer ministry for the university/young career group at RHCCC too... i think i'm going to go through some spiritual turbulence... there's a lot of work to be done for His Kingdom and I am ever so eager and ready to do His will... May the name of the Lord be lifted on high =) my "sabbatical" term (4A) in waterloo has come to fruition... now it's time to really get back into things... the Lord will continue to do many great things these next 8 months... His plans are never thwarted... i can only pray that I can be a humble and meek servant with power that only comes from God.

now, i'm currently sitting in my hotel room... with wireless internet =) haha benefits of working at a big 4 firm... finsihed my 2nd day of training at the Nottawasaga Resort in Alliston... work will be interesting... it's going to be challenging for sure =)

hello hello Van =)

it's cool to see your involvement back in TO despite previous inhibitions and hesitations. i know that you'll grow much with the "kids" there. if i was in TO more, i'd want to counselor too (i've helped with BASIC before) cause I see the need for older female mentors at our church. i can't recall ANYONE who i had as a mentor..so it's kind of sad. thus, i realize that i should take an active role in mentoring others. =) have fun! see you...
