Miracle of Life

Today my aunt (that i live with) had her baby. After 9-ish long months the amazing day finally arrived. It was soo awesome. I got to be there for the whole thing...bad labour and all. The darling little girl arrived at 3:09PM and she is honestly the cutest/prettiest little baby girl i have EVER seen. My own future children will have a tough time beating that beauty lol. And she's sooo quite and alert! She stayed awake for about 3 hours after she was born which is fairly uncommon. Anywayz, I can't wait till she can come home. She's soo tiny and fragile but GORGEOUS! I get another whole year of her. I'm so excited!

I'M GOING TO SEA!!

AHHHHHHHH!!! I just just JUST got my acceptance to the SouthEast Africa project and i'm STOKED! I repeat, STOKED! I CAN"T WAIT to go lol. I was stressing and freaking out throughout the week but now it's official and in 6 weeks or so I will be in the beautiful continent of Africa. I'm at a loss for words! I'm so grateful that God has a plan and use for me there and I can go there and further advance the kingdom and work that He has set out. I'm so excited to meet all the students and people there and also all the students and staff going from Canada. I'm sooo excited to see how God will totally come through and help me raise all the money I need (it's a decent amount lol). I can't wait to do what it is I was placed on this earth to do, and that's to:
Win for the Lamb that was slain the reward of his suffering

I'm Still Standing

It's been quite awhile I don't even think I can remember how to blog lol. Life's been pretty good. Lately it's been the routine stuff, minimal sleep, school, work, church, C4C stuff, driving Black Beauty etc etc. Nothing out of the ordinary. Had two exams (one yesterday and one today) soo tiring and actually somewhat difficult but oh well, that's life. I saw Zodiac on Saturday. Long movie but pretty good. It was great cuz I got to go with 2 very cool people and since we missed the movie at the time we wanted we just hung around and talked until the next showing happened. Church has been incredible...really great words being spoken (a blog on that later).
I'm still waiting to hear if i'm accepted to the SouthEast Africa project (mission trip) so hopefully later this week I'll know. It's soo hard being patient! lol

On a colder note, it got pretty cold here the past few days. And i know all my Winnipeg peeps will think i'm a big sucky baby saying it. But considering i've been here now for almost 3 winters in a row, i think i'm gettin a bit climatized. Anywayz, as I was saying, it got pretty cold. We were at moderate "march-like" temperatures for about a week and then *BAM* -31 weather. Ridiculous! I actually plugged in my car (go block heaters go). It's been intense but apparently it's gettin warmer by the end of the week so we'll see.
