fasting anyone?

This morning we started our day with worship as a base, it's pretty much my favorite way to start the morning so it was wonderful.
I feel like in the week that I've been here there have been so many things that I've wanted God to show me; so many things that I've been like "hey God can you make that clearer?" "hey God can you please show me how that works?" "hey God what the heck do I do about that?" and God was finally like "Hey Sarah Jane could you shut off your computer for a bit and actually seek me out on these things instead of wanting them handed to you on a platter??"

This response shocked me a bit, it just wasn't quite what i was expecting. I really felt like God was asking for me to spend two weeks without my computer or the phone. The idea is that any time i would generally spend on my laptop I will spend seeking God out and digging into His word. I am excited to see what God is going to do with this time in the next couple weeks.

So after i finish this blog entry I'm turning off my computer. If you NEED to contact me i will be checking my email once each morning to keep on top of my finances since I am still in need in this area. But anything personal will have to wait.
Please pray for me in this time, that God would use it for His glory.
Talk to you in a couple weeks!

Peace and Blessings!

SOME 08 begins

I am finally in Orlando! I arrived here on Saturday night.

It was a long journey here...literally, my day of flying was something ridiculous like 20 hours, from when i left my house to when i got here.

Intended route: Edmonton - Phoenix - Charlotte - Orlando.

Unfortunately my time between Phoenix and Charlotte was 25 minutes...and my plane was late, so that route went out the window. There was only one flight from phoenix that would get me to Orlando in the same day and that involved back tracking to orange county California.

New route: Edmonton - Phoenix - Orange County - Las Vegas - Orlando

Then my plane had "mechanical difficulties" in orange county so my plane was delayed by another couple hours. Needless to say it was a long day of sitting in airports!

My week has been pretty good. I've sat through a lot of orientations this week, which has been informative, but I'm definitely glad to be starting class on Monday!

I'm living in a house with 9 students and two staff. My room has 5 of us in here, it'll never be dull that's for sure.

I don't have too much of an update to give at this point, but by the end of next week I'm sure there will be more

Peace and Blessings
