A few details!

We have our tickets! Our team of 22 will fly out on the 30th of March to Cancun. Details of our travel between locations are still being processed. We will fly out of Mexico City on the 15th of May. There are 19 students on our team and 3 staff. 

Our first team meeting was today. The students are now doing some country research to get to know the location and they will also be starting drama/puppet practice. In the mean time the details of the trip are being worked out. Matt, who is leading the team has been planning for a while so now Foster (the other assistant) and I will help him where he needs help in the preparations. 

Please be praying for our team for:

*Incredible Unity

*God's direction

*Quick healing for several of our students

Alex-sprained ankle

Derrick-having surgery on a broken leg

Kyle-sick

*Details to fall into place (budgeting, bus travel, ministry timing..etc.) 

Thanks for taking the time to read and to pray for us here!

So, when you get sick..say a cold, a cough, a scratchy sore throat..what do you do?

Well, my personal preference is to sleep all day and also take something called Grapefruit Seed Extract by Nutribiotic. A friend of mine introduced me to it a year ago..and you know, it works. I've so far cured strep throat with it (in combo with Echinacea Supreme) and can kick a cold in a matter of 24 hours..or avoid it all together. 

In doing some research today I discovered some people use it to disinfect their houses, as a shampoo additive, as deodorant, and even nose spray and face wash. You probably won't see me trying most of those..but hey whatever works! Just thought I'd share that little tidbit. It's even been known to work on IBS.

Have a lovely day. 

12 lessons I have learned in life.

So there is a new forward going around called "12 things I learned the hard way" ..decided I would use this to share it sort of...some of these I have learned the hard way, some through observation and some from wise people.  

1. You don't stop living because you grow old, you grow old because you stop living. 

2. Time is a good healer, when you let the wound heal properly and don't just cover it up with a band-aid. 

3. It's okay if you don't have it all together. We are more useful when we are broken and Jesus' light can pour out. 

4. Early to bed and early to rise (plus exercise and eating right) makes a big difference in every aspect! 

5. Time = Relationship

6. God is Jehovah Jireh- My Provider.

7. It's about the journey- not only the destination.

8. It's not my job to fix people, but point them to the Fixer. 

9. Flexibility is the key to success. And when you are flexible you can't be bent out of shape. 

10. Don't ever, ever, ever stop learning. 

11. When you are in leadership you live in a fishbowl- all eyes on you. So how will you live? 

12. Which ever man we feed is the one that lives.
