Fall '06 Semester - in all honesty I suppose i could sum up the past couple of months by saying it was a rough semester and now that I look back at it I realized that for most of the 2nd half of the semester I was "burnt out" for various reasons (ie extreme lack of sleep)...God really stretched me and opened my eyes to so many things...at the same time with all the bad that happens God is always faithful with blessings and good things as well (and trust me there were plenty of those as well)...I've learned so much this semester about what it means to trust God despite all the uncertainities and although it is still a struggle of mine I believe that God is still molding me and will continue to light my path onestep at a time...

At the same time, I realized that I couldn't have made it through the past semester if it were not for the amazing Brothers and Sisters that God blessed me with...I can't thank everyone enough for all the encouragement, love and prayers I've realized from everyone this semester...I've learned so much about what it means to be part of a Body of Christ and truly showing that Christ Love to each other and for that I am very grateful....Taking a semester away from PennState next semester is very bittersweet to me.  On one hand I know that I will definitely be missing everyone but on the other hand I know God has many things in stored for me in Philly as well.  Regardless, I expect many phone calls, ims and visits to Philly to see me!!

Now I know no one likes to read long entries so I figured the best way to tell u more about my semester is through.....u guessed it....PICTURES!!! Now to avoid being blamed for computer crashes thanks to my xanga entires I have decided to only post up my favorite pictures from throughout the semester and I also shunk the sizes of the pictures for your computer convenience...Enjoy!!

Urbana 06:  In short, it was Amazing! Urbana is a international missions conference held every 3 years by Intervarsity.  This year it was held in St Louis from Dec 27-Jan 1 and there were over 22,000+ people in attendance (primarily college students).  God opened my eyes to so many things within those couple of days and so many lessons were learned! Here are some highlights:

-The Praise Sessions were amazing!! They were all so talented and we sang songs from different languages all over the world!! (ie. Spanish, French, Korean, Manderian, etc)

-The Body of Christ is more than the local church...its Christians all over the world! We need to be interdependent.

-Wonderful speakers were so much incite, passion and inspiration

-The World Vision Dinner - very challenging but humbling

-There are no such things as 2nd class missionaries...we are all serving the same God, just in different ways

-I have a calling and a purpose!!

-So many seminars to choose from and sooo little time!!

-Packing into the Metro like sardines to get back to our Hotel

-Late night talks with the roommates

-Getting around 6-7 hours of sleep a night!! (more than i got all semester...Praise God!)

-Watching 22,000 people getting feed within 2 hours....roughly 5,000 people every 1/2 hour...Amazing!! lolz

-Singing Praise and Worship like crazy (and i mean crazy...lolz) as we counted down to the New Year!
