I jumped on the 'Blue Like Jazz' bandwagon. I haven't opened it yet, but i purchased it! We will see how that goes.

So how has the world been? I have been good. I have a new penpal. hahah actually she is like a roomate, because she is always online, and so am I, so its like we are roomates! hahah she lives in brasil! I have a Brasilian pen pal, how cool is that.

I saw my friends Kelly , Josh and Garry this weekend. We watched the horrible football game this weekend. But it was supperdity duperty fun to see them. I miss having friends!

Work in the morning! so ill be outie.

- Praise to the Lord, The Almighty - - -
"Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore Him. All that hath life and breath come now with praises before Him. Let the 'amen' sound from His people again. Gladly for aye (all time) we adore Him. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah" I love this Hymn on so many levels.

"Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore Him". This is the prayer of my heart right now. Let me not be consumed with where will I go next, what will happen to me, what will happen to my family and friends, but let me pray each day that ll that is in me adore Him, for He is the orchestrator of all of my days, Let me not worry about my life, but give it to the One who works only for the good of it. I pray that you and I will Adore the Lover of our souls with all that is in us. Praise Him! "All that hath life and breath come now with praises before him."

"let the 'amen' sound from His people again." when I heard this hymn for the first time in a long time, this verse stuck out at me. I sung it over and over changing it from let the 'amen' sound from ME again. The word amen, is a Hebrew word meaning 'so be it.' How much of my life have I taken on myself to try and fix or handle. Instead of giving it to my father and saying It is yours, ' so be it'! AMEN

"Gladly for aye ( all time) we adore Him."

Praise Him, He is worthy of our praise. Praise him in GLAD adoration.

HALLELULIA, HALLELULIA, HALLELULIA, HALLELULIA

Hallelulia, literally translates 'praise Jehova'. The joy I feel when singing Hallelulia to the Lord its direct praise to the one who is worthy!

I pray that you will not worship the gods of this world, but worship the ONE true God and Praise Him, he has fairfully and wonderfully made you, knowing everything about you down to the number of hairs on you head. Experience His love everyday! Hellelulia!

Amen,

Debs

Alo,

Im back from Brazil! Oh how my heart rejoices! It was everything I expected and more. There is just so much and its all so special. My favorite parts were the beautiful beaches, yummy restuarantes, and great times with new friends. My heart was so pleased to be able to spend some long awaited time with my Joyceeee and her Aaron . For those of you who dont know me, she is my sister-at-heart and He is her husband! I got a room of my own, with a smily face pillow waiting to greet me. Lots of time to shop and have girl time doing nails and hair. and all for sooooooooooooo cheap!

some fun and interesting Fortaleza, Ce Brasil facts:

located on the north east section of brazil right on the coast (you can see the ocean from 'my' window.)

you can not flush the toilet paper because it will clog the drainage system, so while in Fortaleza it is necessary to throw your toilet paper in the trash. also some public restrooms have the toilet paper in one big roll dispenser that you must take before entering into the stall. lol this was fun!

walking and bus travel how we got around, it is great to keep up the figure!

fresh juices are a must have in fortaleza brasil

frango catupiry is my favorite food choice!

lol so much fun, really its not explainable in a blog you must go for yourself.

The best thing in Fortaleza was meeting so many people that were just such sweet people. They just shined with life and joy, and fun! The parts of the ministry that i got to experience was fabulous as well. The college students all great, just great. and the staff team were wonderful too! There is no doubt in my mind that the Lord is doing great things on the campuses of Fortaleza Ceara!

I need to post more later... with some pictures. tchau for now!

God bless,

Debs
