TGIF Everyone!! Unfourtunately for me this friday will be spent cleaning the apartment in expectation of the Col's visit tomorrow afternoon. The good news is that this weekend is "Welcome Weekend" for the first year session, "God's fellow workers." Sunday morning will be a beautiful service of dedication and Sunday afternoon will be a service of celebration when we gather together with other winnipeg salvationists! Guys - just remember to "SMILE" because the SA photographer will be there to snap your pic every chance he gets!

Wow...one full year has come and gone since our welcome weekend! How quickly time flies! I remember how nervous I was when I was asked to give my testimony in the morning's service...how nervous I was to "march" into Southlands Church in front of all the people...not to mention how shy I was...but now...now...well...let's just say that in a year I've changed a lot! My training days thus far have been filled with laughter, tears, confusion, "ah-ha" moments, and questions...but I wouldn't trade this experience! The things I have learned so far, the new friendships I have made, the new knowledge I have gained in this one year blows my mind away sometimes!

This chorus comes to mind:
Use me Lord, use me for they glory
Use me Lord, help me tell the story
There's no other way, Lord I will obey
Use me, Use me, Lord.
(It's a good newfie chorus but the words sum up how I am feeling today!)

Blessings on you! Have a great weekend!
