God you are so awesome!

Chapel was incredible on Tuesday! It usually is really good, but Tuesday was different, I was really tired, and did not want to be there, I was there because I had to be. The worship time was upbeat and powerful! As Pastor John got up, I was settling down for a nap...(oops...did I say nap?) anyway, little did I know that I would be awake and alert for the whole service and God really spoke to me. The message was on the different names of God, and it was just so cool to see how many names God has and how powerful and big God is. I really think we take God for granted somtimes.
Then tonight, a friend of mine was leading D-Groups and was totally used by God, just said some things I really needed to hear at this point in the semester and time in my life. Thanks Missy!!
The semester is almost done...Keep your chin up everyone, we are almost at the end!!

Happy American Thanksgiving!

Hey! I know, its been 2 weeks since I've said anything here! Things are going well, tonight a bunch of us had an American Thanksgiving dinner! It was a lot of fun, but, being the only Canadian, I got teased the most. I am really excited about going home in 3 weeks! Yes, only 3 weeks until I get to get out of Sussex, for 3 whole weeks! It is a very exciting time!
I'm getting down to the last couple papers and presentations and then finals. I'm not too worried about any of them.
I also found out I'm moving to another dorm for next semester, which is really exciting! I get to move in with my friends and into my old apartment!
God is still working in me, and I'm still not sure how or what He's doin'. I'm just taking life a day at a time, and trusting in Him.

Later

Procrastination...

Well, a few things have happened since I last posted. Booster was last weekend, and it was great! I didn't go to all of the activities, but went to the services and the worship was awesome! I really felt like the speaker connected well with the teens. Last Sunday night at Encounter Natasha spoke and did an incredible job!! I don't think I've heard someone speak on Song of Songs quite like she did, she has such a passion for the Lord it is so awesome. This weekend was our retreat for class. I felt it went really well, although there was an accident everything went smoothly and honestly, couldn't have gone better. Everyone who attended as "campers" seemed to have a good time! We actually did get to relax, and I felt like no one was stressed about work or anything, it was a great time to hang out and get to know people, but also meet with God in solitude! Lynn and Natasha spoke and did a great job, God really put them in our path for a reason!
Five weeks from right now, I will either be home, or on my way home for 3 weeks...Christmas break. I can't believe how fast this semester has gone. I feel like the semesters fly by here at Bethany because there is so much going on, and so much to do!
God is working a lot in my life! My brother and sister-in-law are expecting another baby...which is so exciting in my opinion! I honestly, don't know how to describe what God is doing in my life, because I don't exactly know...I do know that Him and I are working on things...and it will take time. We live in such a world that is, "everything happens right now" that it is hard to be patient and just wait. I know that I need to and that everything will work out in God's timing but only in His timing. I'm really struggling with this as well though, a lot of confusion, which satan is taking advantage of. People say, "Just trust in God" and I know we all need to do that, but it can be so hard! It's like giving your best friend, (who you've never seen) your entire life and let them tell you where you are going and giving them control of your life.
Leave one...
