Down and Out for the Count.

Yesterday we had a team meeting. I could feel myself feeling a little worse with each passing hour. That is a weird feeling, i think i would rather just wake up sick then feel the decline!

Yep, today I have been sick. Most of the time I feel like I can fight off a cold or illness or at least work through it... but not today. Today I have been pretty useless.... I slept until my dog had to go to the bathroom -- took her out, and slept some more! The only real time I got out of bed was when Tiffany (I love that girl!) brought me over lunch.

My dog has been super sweet all day. She just curled up next to me, with her head on me. I think she knows i don't feel very good... and she thinks that her touch will make me better =)

Anyways, I am awake right now and wanted to stop in and say Hi! Today I am thankful for ib profin (which is the only thing that makes me feel a step above road kill! Oh and i am also thankful for sleep!

Going back to sleep now. Hopefully tomorrow i can function!

T2 Team!

Meet my team here in Mexico! Not everyone works directly with each other but we get together (in theory) 4 ish times a year to pray and encourage each other! We are from 4 different countries. =) 

Today we got together... we laughed, we prayed, we did some business stuff and switched languages about 1000 times.... usually mid sentence! 

Super Bowl Sunday!

Rod and Mayra had a few friends over for the stupid (i mean super) bowl. It was a good time eating, planying cards and hanging out!  The girls played cards.. the guys watched the game. We left right after watching Madonna attempt to shake it during the half time show!

Here are some pics (Thanks Rod, I stole your pics!)

Puppies and Coffee

Yes, this is a three post kinda day... =)

Today was suppose to be the "Grand Opening" of the coffee shop. But, just the youth showed up, for the most part, so we played games, drank coffee and just hung out-- oh yes, the Cottrill's made an appearance as well!

I took a couple pictures of different coffee shop stuff, i thought i would show you!

But first, I want to show you this puppy... I named him George. He hung around the coffee shop and the youth played with him. I tried to get my dog to like him so that i could keep him, but no luck... Maggie doesn't like other dogs. After trying to give him away he went home with the youth... but the little guy stole my heart. He needed a bath and a vet visit (he was attacked but you can't see it in this picture.) He was the sweetest little thing.

And some random coffee shop pictures!

My God My King

One generation shall command your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, i will meditate. They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds. - Psalm 145: 3-7

We all search for a purpose- a way to make a lasting difference. But some people go to extremes to do that, don't they? But, by searching out God, knowing Him and living in true worship our lives will express the glory of God. This manifests itself in acts of service or talking about the Truth in a world that desperately needs to hear it.

If there truly is a generation after God's own heart, our generation then we must be passionate about declaring God. The motivation is to "pour fourth the fame" of out King. To give GOD the credit rather than bask in our own self perceived greatness or accomplishments.

But really, this totally takes the pressure off of us to perform or self promote because there is the ONE deserves all of the credit. The "15 min of fame" mentality clicks away like a time bomb for those seeking individual fame, it is God's fame that will resound throughout all generations.

Let us show the world the myriad of ways God's fame is pronounced in our lives. Let's help those around us say "My God, My King"!

SNOW!

I am really kinda jealous of my friends at home who get to play in the snow today! I really do LOVE the snow!

*I love how beautiful it is on the fields when there are no foot prints in it.

*I love seeing my dog prancing around in it.

*i love when you get so much snow you can't leave your house!

*I love the calmness that snow brings (unless your at walmart).

*I love being curled up on a snowy day reading a good book with a cup of coffee or chai!

*I love playing in it... sledding, making snow men, snow ball fights, building forts (maybe i never really grew up)

* I actually enjoy putting my headphones on and shoveling!

The list could go on.... But to be fair to my lovely friends who are drowning in snow today there are a few things i don't enjoy...

* 30+ mile an hour winds that burn your skin it is so cold.

* scraping the windows of my car
* When the power goes out because of the snow... but it does make you appreciate heat when you have it!

* getting my car stuck when it slides off the road in a snow storm (although those are usually the best stories)!

Do you think it is too far off to ask God for a freak snow in Ixtapaluca?
