Welcome to the World, Jennifer Grace.

It would appear that I have decided to take a plunge into the world of blogging. Can't promise how long it will last, or how interesting my entries will be, but I think keeping people posted on my life as it progresses would be a good thing. Considering there have been so many changes over the last couple of months, and will be many more in the months to come, I figured this will be the simplest way to keep people informed, or at least practice letting the creative juices flow.

So, a quick review. After a drawn-out and tearful goodbye to the Forest City of London, and moreso the amazing people I'm blessed to have in my life, I literally got on a jet plane and took off to beautiful British Columbia. There God continued to bless me by putting more amazing people in my life path, and overall the 10 or so days in B.C. were filled with learning, laughs, embarrassing moments (could anyone tell me what day it is?), hockey play-offs, reminders of why I'm getting involved with such an awesome ministry, and some slightly overwhelming realizations. Overall I had an amazing time, and truly enjoyed my time while it lasted.

While in B.C. I was asked to join the Guelph Staff Team, which I’m extremely pumped about! For any of you wondering what on earth I’m talking about… I’ve joined staff with an organization called Campus Crusade for Christ, and will be working with students at the University of Guelph (please call or e-mail me if you’d like more info). I’ve heard great things about the people already working hard at Guelph, and I met lots of amazing Guelph people at training (MET).

After MET I was whisked back to St. Catharines where I promptly dealt with not sleeping for a long time due to a red-eye flight, and then drove to London to pack up my life (I did not have time between exams and staff training). I spent 5 wonderful, yet hectic days in London, frantically organizing databases, sending letters, and packing up my room. I came back to St. Kitts and hit the ground running with support raising, and later took a day trip out to London with my Dad to bring home my furniture and boxed up life.

Support raising so far has been interesting. I have made several realizations, two of which being that I LOVE meeting with people and sharing my heart, and secondly that I really don’t enjoy asking for help. God has been teaching me so much about trusting Him, and then trusting others, surprisingly it can be done; though, my heart still beats fast and I sweat a little every time I have to call someone. But God has been gracious and I’m continually being pushed out of my comfort zone in a good way!

Well, I think that’s enough of a novel for one entry! Catch you later!
