Lawn Crew
YWAM Orlando owns 16 houses that all our students and staff pack into. These houses require a lot of maintenance including lawn mowing.
This is where "Lawn Crew" comes in. Lawn crew consists of 5 or 6 people who spend their Tuesday mornings mowing all 16 lawns. This quarter I became one of these people.
I can count the number of lawns I have mowed on one hand so it's been a new experience for sure. As strange as this is, I love it. It's nasty hot here, it's ridiculously humid, I end up covered in sweat, grass and dirt but it's kinda fun! It feels so satisfying, at the end of the morning I feel like I've really accomplished something.
Pretty sweet.

Facebook Break...
Facebook may very well be taking over the world...or at least my life.
It started off as a good way to contact people and keep in touch and may or may not have turned into a slight addiction...so I'm taking a break.
We as a base here in Orlando are fasting various thing for the next couple weeks to take time to really seek God about the property we are pursuing. When I think of fasting I automatically think of not eating but fasting can be really be from anything. It's not about the lack of food, it's about putting our focus completely on God and gaining a renewed reliance on Him. When I asked God what this should look like for me, I realized it's definitely facebook that needs to go. While I thought this sounded kinda silly initially, it really makes sense for me.
While I am sure I will miss chatting and seeing what everyone is upto (...all the time haha) I am excited to have more time to press in to my relationship with God and pray for the release of this property.
So for the next couple weeks if you need to contact me you can email me, call me, or just wait until next month!
Peace,
SJ

Birthday Weekend
Well My Birthday/Family weekend is officially over. My family left this morning. Sad day.
They arrived last Wednesday night. Nathaniel and I rushed to see them as soon as they got here! We were only able to spend the evenings with them on Thursday and Friday as we both worked during the day. But I was fortunate enough to be able to take time off on Monday and Tuesday so I spent both full days hanging out with them.
My Birthday was lovely. Nathaniel and I spent the day with the fam shopping at my favorite outdoor mall. Mom, Bethany and I enjoyed ourselves but Dad and Nathaniel were quite bored and retreated to a Mexican restaurant where they watched a basketball game instead. We then had dinner at Panera with friends and family followed by an evening of cheesecake, ice cream and presents. Great Day, tiring but great.
Monday and Tuesday were spent shopping and chilling out in coffee shops with the fam.
Now mom, dad and bethany are back in the car, on their way to Edmonton and I am back at work.
Thats all for now.
Peace,
SJ

Almost my birthday!
Well, the countdown is on! Only nine days left til my 21st Birthday :)
My familia will be here next week, probably Thursday, that will be wonderful! I think they might be crazy for driving from Sayulita, Mexico to Orlando "on the way" back to Edmonton but I am definitely not complaining! I don't know what we will be doing for my birthday yet, Nathaniel has stated that he will be doing the planning this year so I suppose I shall have to wait and see!
Thats all for now.
Peace,
SJ
PS. Birthday Cards are always welcomed! :)

Spring time at last!
Growing up in Edmonton I have definitely experienced my share of cold weather. I remember many years when it would start warming up after a long winter and suddenly -10 degrees becomes t-shirt weather.
Now living in Florida I have become quite a pansy when it comes to "cold" weather. I find myself complaining about what an awful winter we've had here when it's almost 20 degrees outside.
Fortunately for us pansies down here it is starting to warm up and we're all heading to the beach this weekend in celebration of the end of winter.
Thank you Jesus for warm weather, I do not miss the snow one bit!
