Test day...not an average day...

Today was one of those days, I knew I needed to get myself up and moving at a certain time.  Every morning I need my time with Lord...so important and I need breakfast, which usually consist of a bowl of fresh fruit.  Today my breakfast was strawberries,mango,papaya, and banana, with chocolate chips on top.

Maybe you know this and maybe you don't but I love chocolate...especially semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips.  However, a couple weeks ago, I got sick, and the thought of chocolate was not even an option, but as I got better I still couldn't eat a handful of chocolate chips as I did before...a sure problem something is still not right:)  However I have this huge bag of chocolate chips in my freezer and I need to eat them, so I have to put them in things, hence why I put them on my fruit salad.  If you haven't tried it you should.  A fruit salad for breakfast with greek yogurt, chocolate chips and a dap of honey is also really good.  Now onto my story...

I had to get up and moving because I had an exam today...a Spanish exam over Subjunctive rules #7 and #8 of which I didn't feel prepared for.  You see, usually I don't have to study much because the time in class is enough and then I try to use it out side of the classroom, but these rules...not so much..for some reason they were much harder for me to grasp.  I spent about an hour reviewing and making sentences and then headed to school.  Once I got to school, I was prepared to study a little bit more...like that ever happened...the social bug I am, just couldn't stop socialising.  Imagine that.

Finally it was time to go to class.  We received our test and I realized that rule #7 was not on it.  Our teacher forgot...I was saved by this mistake.   Our written exam was only regla #8!   However...regla #7 was in our oral exam.  But over all, I think it went well.  I wasn't stressed, I did my best, and now it's time for a long weekend and to do some exploring and some resting.  Next week will be busy..but wait which week isn't...

Until next time!

Planting seeds:) What a blessing!

Image
At the beginning of this past trimester (it just ended) at our first chapel service there was an illustration given that really didn't hit me until it was spoken about on our last service.  Our speaker was talking about why we are missionaries,  the obvious reason is because of Jesus!  Because He has asked us to leave all behind and follow Him and trust Him.  In my opinion, (I was so ready to just write this sentence in Spanish, Subjunctive Rule # 9, expressing opinions), decided to keep it in English and say, we are all missionaries.   We are missionaries where ever we live...some people are called to live abroad and leave all behind and others are called to stay in their home, but God can use and does use all of us, so we are all missionaries, those who are called His!  And there often times we don't always see the fruit of our work but God does and He knows what is going to happen, but we are called to plant seeds where ever we live.  Those seeds ca...

What's with the money?

Ever wonder the story behind your money or what each symbol means or why it's a certain color.  I honestly have to say, I have never really thought much about it until  one day in class... Here are some interesting facts, I learned about the Costa Rican Colones. Look closely and you will see that on the front of every colon a number and then that number in brail, in the middle of the coin (I thought this fact was rather awesome)  On the back of the coin you can see the Costa Rican Coat of Arms.  Seven stars represent the seven provinces in Costa Rica.  The three Mountain Ranges  represent the three mountain ranges and major Volcanoes.  In front and behind the mountain there is water which represents the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea.  There is a  ship in both seas which represent when the history of the conquistadors.  And in the horizon the rising sun.  Coffee is represented by the frame of the seal. Now let´s take a look...

From the Heart

The rain is falling, the thunder rolls, the lightning flashes and I am sitting on my porch enjoying it.  As I sit here, I look around me and I see so much.  I see houses of different sizes, colors, and maybe some need repairs, but they all have one thing in common, it's a home.  I see the trees and plants and look at their size and think even these have a purpose, some may be food for animals or maybe a home for another or even just color to brighten our day, but all of them reflect who the Lord is, He is the Creator of all things and made all things for His Glory. All includes us.  Over the past few days I have been thinking about how God created each person different.  We all have a story to tell and not one story is the same but there is one thing in common, that is, God created us.  He gave us life for His glory. Don't let what others may have or others say about you rob you from what you know is true and from what God is doing in your life right now....
