No Title Needed

So in addition to a local church wanting to partner with us, Cup of Hope called us today and they also want to partner with us. A guy that used to come on Amor trips started the organization with the primary thought of partnering with us. He has already had the training that CAWST provides and is certified to give the training to others. He wants to train us for free. FREE! It doesn't get cheaper than that. In addition his organization would be a partner with us so it wouldn't just be a fly by training but they would actually be around for the implementation of the program.

There might be a position opening up designed for me at Amor. We'll see. Keep praying.

God is so good...haha...FREE!!!!

Breathe

Meeting went very well on Friday. A new position just for me is being proposed. Thoughts? WOW!!!!!!! God is RAD!

God sighting: A class to train organizations on how to implement clean water programs that I wanted to take but couldn't because of the expense is now miraculously in reach. Sheri's husband's church wants to partner with us and pay to have an expert come and give us hands on training. Answer to pray? Well if it isn't, then I don't know what is.

Stay posted. More exciting news to come. Also, check out Scott's blog at simplyscott.blogspot.com for an update on South Africa and some really inspiring pics.

Peace

Peace from the Spirit was abundant today. I've been stressin' lately about...well I guess there isn't really anything that I haven't been stressing about lately but mainly where I'm going to live starting June 1st comes to mind as a major stressor. Today was much better. I was again, graciously, confirmed in God's plan for me after I graduate. I really identified with the apostles on the road to Emaus. Even though they knew what God had promised them they were freaking out because the situation they were in made the promise seem impossible. I know God knows everything about me and my situation and I know He won't leave me high and dry. Not only that but He has plans that far exceed anything that I could ever imagine.

I have a meeting with my supervisor and the founder of Amor on Friday. Hopefully we will solidify plans and move forward with eagerness. Now that Amor is building in South Africa the realization of the water program is desired even more. The battle against infectious disease across the world will be accomplished when the war against poverty and lack of clean water and sanitation is won.

Tanning, homework, and pilates

Bad news: Didn't go in today to the internship. Had a group presentation to work on. Boo. But I got some errands done. All in all a boring day but the lovely Mustang made the drudgery bearable with her presence.

Good news: Dink responded to my banquet invitation with a hearty SI! Operation twerk it for banquet and graduation is in full force. Would you like to jump to a level 4 tanning bed today? Why, yes, I would thank you.

Whiten those teeth, tan those bodies, and work out those love handles for the special upcoming events; banquets, graduations, and weddings! Oh, my!

Anyone?

If you're bored tonight like me then you should race over to Alpha house for a... PIT PARTY!!!!!! That's right. Later tonight a vicious game of pit will commence at our house. There is no more pure form of entertainment than card games and this card game trumps them all.



Good fun. Maybe some funny youtube videos will follow.



Escue me. Can I talk to you fo' a minute?

Firsts

Life is full of firsts. Ya know. Like the first time you ride a bike, the first time you blow a bubble with your gum, your first whistle etc. Well, this is my first blog post. I caught the blog fever. So sue me. I always catch on eventually.

This blog will be mainly about the happenings at my internship with Amor Ministries. There are some exciting things going on there that I just can't cram into a monthly newsletter. It is my express desire to glorify God and inspire others to chase daylight with this blog.
