Miscellanious

Hey ya'll: 27 more days...then I am done my "work" here. I don't actually leave for 29 more days, but hey. I'm pretty pumped...very pumped...but meanwhile, I have an Advanced Eschatology course that should have been completed already: but it's not. In fact, I haven't even finished reading the book yet. But it's deep: and I am actually trying to learn it....oh dear: "Senioritis" has once again, kicked in.

So last night my friend Mike pulled me aside to tell me that him and his wife were going to help support me by giving me some money so I can send in my confirmation fee. They're not paying all of it, but they will support me. And you know what? Instead of getting really excited (which I am...), I actually got really scared. It was a moment in which the Lord was like, "Ok Shauna: this isn't fun and games anymore: people are going to support you, so you need to be serious about doing this..." And I think I really am.

So the other night I strained my back: I hate--I loathe--back pain. I've pulled my lower back 3 times, the last time being down in NY this past summer--and totally slaughtered it. And this is the 2nd time that I've strained it here in PEI. This is ridiculous. I need to get in shape. The better the abs: the better the back. And you know what? People that have never pulled their back have no comprehension of how stinkin' annoyin' it is. Most of the time, you just want to cry 'cause it's so extremely frustrating.

One last thing: my friend Adam got baptized last night!! I was so excited for him!! Please, after you read this, just offer up a quick prayer for him to grow closer with the Lord!! And there was a man that went to watch him be baptized, and he's not saved, and he has a hard life. So please, pray for him too--for his salvation!!

I'M IN!!

Hey Hey hey!! I got accepted to the Continentals!! I'm pretty pumped!! really, really, really, really, really nervous and freaked out of my mind: but really excited to do this opportunity of a lifetime. Please, if you ever think of me, send a prayer to the Throne Room, k? thanks!!

Seeing As How...

See as how I didn't write about my weekend at Halifax by now, I figure that I should. IT WAS A GREAT WEEKEND!! The teens did pretty well with the inner city kids on Saturday....but the inner city kids did pretty well too: apparently they knew I was an adult so they were a little different with me: but whatever. I love the challenge.

I spent most of my time with a little girl, Nakisha: and it broke my heart when my friend Julie told me that when she brough Nakisha home, she spelt pot. It's soooo hard to just let the those kids go back to that atmosphere. So if you ever think of her, please pray for her.

It's hard to believe that I have a little over 5 weeks before I leave. The time has flown by (although there were some weeks where I thought that time had purposely slowed down to get me). I should be hearing from the Continentals in the next day or so, telling me whether I've been accepted or not...so it's a little hard to just sit around. And I'm excited to go on "vacation" for two weeks.

I guess that I'm just sort of rambling now...so I'll end here.

It's Been A While....I Know...

It's been a while, I know. Life's been busy and challenging. Between being sick off and on now for about a month, and just being plain busy and tired, I really haven't had the motivation to update this. Okay, so for the update:

Well, I'm applying for "the Continentals" (www.continentalsingers.org) which is a Christian singing and dancing traveling "thing". If accepted, I would do the fall tour, (sept-dec) and go to New Zealand and travel the southern states...I'd be pretty pumped about doing it. Scared crapless...but pretty pumped. Actually, my friend Heather and I (she'll be an asst. director for one of the trips) may travel out to Los Angeles and back together...so that would make me happy. Anyways, all that's left for me to do is to get some pics done and send them through email...anyways...

and this weekend, I'll be going to Halifax, Nova Scotia (I've never been there), to help lead some of the teens here do some ministry; to a youth group and for some inner city kids: pretty pumped!!

hey!! And my friend Andy (my best friend Bethany--her husband) just cut his first cd!! it's: ARISE:Live Worship (that's what he does--he leads worship conferences). Anyways, if you want to check it out, go to: www.ariseworship.com It's pretty sweet!!

well, that's about it for now. I think I have about 53 sleeps 'til I go back to NBBI to graduate. Pretty pumped...

"peace, out"
