Tis' the Season......to post!!

I have not posted for a month and I apologize to all my blog readers out there. I haven't really been that busy I just didn't take the time to post. I will try to update more often and especially when I am in Haiti. Otherwise I know that I will be hearing from people if I don't update!

I told my job that I was leaving/quitting last Monday. That was kinda nerve racking! I've never told a job that I'm quitting but my boss was cool about it and it looks like Angelina will be taking my place. Only 11 more days of work!!! This month is just going to fly by and then I'll be in Haiti. Crazy.

This past Tuesday I took the train to Santa Barbara with my parents and some homeschool friends. It was a fun day and I had a blast shopping with the Ways! Zachary's prison shirt was pretty cool and Kari and I got some fun scarves but they won't stay in our hair which is really annoying. I got some Christmas shopping done but still have a lot left to do.

My last BSF is this Monday. I'm kinda sad because I won't get to finish Romans. I will be left hanging at chapter 8. Maybe my mom can sneak me the lecture notes while I'm Haiti. Its been a really good study and I've learned a lot about...sin. Sin and the law is now a clearer picture in my mind. The words Sanctification, Justification, Propitiation, Redemption are all words I understand so much better now. Definitely going through Romans has brought my sins to light and I am reminded of how wretched I am. Which is not a bad thing because then I know I need God's grace more than ever. Here's a good quote:
"Sanctification is not an awareness of how good we are becoming. It is a growing sense of how sinful we truly are, so we will constantly turn to and depend on Jesus Christ for every spiritual victory. "

I need Jesus and I must depend on Him for everything. So easy to say but so hard to do.
