Deuteronomy and Mark
I have really enjoyed reading these books. Reading some from the Old and New Testament is really amazing! I get some of everything. I am praying that God will strengthen my mind so I can hold his word in my mind but also on my heart.

New Opportunity
Over the past couple of months there has been a lot of awesome God moments.
This past year at Roots has been a good one and a bad one, although God has turned the bad to learning experiences. At the beginning of the year, I didn't think that I was a right fit for the group that I was leading Jenna. As the year went on, I realized how much in common I had with these girls. Not only was I teaching them, they were teaching me too! There were a couple of small groups where Jenna and I were really full of happiness or empty and needing to talk about it. I was in the right place this year. I thank God for the OPPORTUNITY he gave to be a part of these girls lives. I have been so blessed by them.
Another really big moment that God shared with me was with my friend, Andrea. She had come over to my house on the long weekend Monday in August and we made some cookies and yummy foods and talked. There is something I like to do before going to bed. I make a list of what needs to be done the next day. So I started making this list. It seemed really good, so I went to bed. When we woke up the next morning, Andrea started to ask me what my plans were for school. I told her that even if I wanted to apply for school it would be too late. She refused to take that answer and persuaded me to go on the York University website. I started searching the list of Bachelor of Arts degrees to see what I was interested in. One by one they started to get crossed off the list and I was left with Children's Studies. I started looking around on the website and making phone calls to see what I needed to do to finish the process and it turned out that all I needed to do was fax a reactivation form to York because they had all of my information still. I am now going to attend York University and hopefully take the consecutive Education program after I'm done my degree. What an OPPORTUNITY! God is so good to me! I would've never thought that I would be going to school in the fall, but God had different plans for me.
Now the next thing is to trust him with what I need. I don't know where the money for tuition or books is coming from. I'm applying for OSAP, but it will be God who will allow the approved stamp to hit the paper. I need to trust that God will take care of my every need be it physical, spiritual, financial. He will be there for me if I believe he will take care of me. Amen?
And all of God's people said AMEN!
