...it's not goodbye...

One last road trip up to Briercrest for alumni weekend was a nice way to start a lot of goodbyes that are going to be said.
I was so blessed to see SO many faces while visiting school,
it was a 12 hour drive well worth it.
Here are just a few picks of the fun times had! oh Canada!
the land of celcius, kilometers, highways, Tim Horton's,
perogies, touques, twoonies, northern lights and FUN!

my right hand gal~
this trip proved to WeeWee and me that we have kindered spirits.
i love her so much!

i think it's safe to say i left a part of me on the prairies.

my newly engaged friend michele and amanda
the saskatoonberry gals... oh how i LOVE them!

one big hang out after a wicked hockey game!

quality time spent on the hall with the girls!

a must for the weekend was to sit in on a chapel!
i loved getting to sit by Sarah and Ambie during chapel, just like old times ;)

distance has no pull on this friendship;
we decided we'd be friends for always...

It was so wonderful to see everyone again.
Thanks to each and every person for the friend you are to me.
God has used all of you to speak into my life, and bring me to where I am today...
and for that I am forever grateful.
so this is until we all get to hang out again...remember:
...it's not goodbye...it's God bless~

the DATE is SET!

after MUCH waiting on a final date for when I get to fly out for my year long mission in Costa Rica, I just received word from the Fanbergs that they will be purchasing a ticket for me to fly down there on:
Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006!
Only two weeks, how crazy!! It is only in Christ that I find my strength, without Him I am nothing. I look forward to being used as an instrument by Him. I really feel very unqualifed in many areas, having not spoken Spanish for a good 3 years for starters... BUT
"God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called."
How great of a God do we serve!

Costa Rica... Here I Come!

Looking for adventure, and searching for where the Lord would have me for this coming fall, there were a few things that I really wanted to do, and man did God for sure cater to the desires of my heart! I wanted to be used by Him, I wanted to travel, and I have for a long time had a heart to really learn Spanish. Needless to say, these desires called me right down to Central America, to the country of Costa Rica. I will be interning with Chuck and Robbi Fanberg, who are supported missionaries through Riverside Church. Here is a sample of my prayer card that I am going to be sending out shortly, and where I'm guessing many of you got word of this blog spot!
