Summer 2010


Hey everyone! I hope that your summer has been going great! I have had a bunch of fun times with my friends this summer and I am looking forward to the few weeks I have left before classes start. I've been to the beach, hung out at my friends pool and just enjoyed the beautiful weather while playing with my puppy Paisley outside.

I've been using this summer as an opportunity to work on who I am. Pastor Dustin, who is the pastor at the church I attend here in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Oasis Community Church), has touched on some great topics since I've been back from Tauernhof Bible School. One main idea that has stuck in my head is 'In order to find someone to marry, you need to be someone to marry.' This has really been making me think about who I am as a person and what traits I need to work on. Life lately has been a work in progress. During my time at bible school God worked on me a lot and I know that I'm not a finished piece of work. For the past few months I had been worrying how I felt like I was a different person on the inside then how I was portraying myself on the outside. I felt like I had a mask on, how I wasn't truly being myself. But with talking with others I realized that its not a mask, its just who I am. I am someone who doesn't like to share my feelings with those I don't trust. I am a person who has a strong outer shell but is still vulnerable. I'm not made of stone. This has helped me understand who I am and why certain things hurt me more than others.

I can't wait to see what God is going to do in me these last few weeks of summer and during the time I'll be spending getting my degree at Providence Bible College.

Here is a song from this summer that I've absolutely loved!
