Life in North Dakota
Funny: So last night we were driving to go have dinner at Brother
Ringen's house and a huge thunder storm came in. It's very flat and windy here
in North Dakota I often find myself feeling like Marilyn Monroe when the wind
picks up. When we got out of the car it was rainy and windy but it was a warm
day so I didn't think it would be too bad outside. When we were walking to
their door my teeth started chattering because I was so cold. My only thought
was I get cold here in the middle of summer I wonder what the winters will be
like? Good thing I didn't come to North Dakota for the weather. I really do
love it here!
Spiritual: One of the things I have learned this week is
your reality may never meet your expectations, but the higher you set your expectations
the greater your reality will become. Having hope is the beginning of having
faith. Acting in faith leads to miracles. When we have great hope for ourselves
and our future we will become great through Christ. We can do all things
through Christ which strengtheneth us.
Where I'm at: I love the people of North Dakota! It is
really beautiful here. There is big open skies and flat green planes. I love it
here. On my first night there was a huge storm. There are lots of thunder
storms here I love it! Mostly I love the people and serving them. I can't wait
to keep working hard! God loves you and I love you too!
