So this is my beautiful mama. This is us at the last mothers day. Some days I really believe she had the privilege of giving birth to me just to cover my mouth. No, that's not it let's see here right now I can't really think of any other reason, except that she is probably the coolest mother that did give birth to me that I know. I love her lots and lots. So back to my point, this week I have learned so much about discernment on what to say to whom and when. I'm going through the study of David, just learning about the man that was after God's own heart. I love it and God uses what I have learned each day in that day. He puts his words into action through out the day. I love it because God is just so funny and I love laughing with him.
We had worship last night and I just love worship, getting right into it with God and praising his name just to bring him glory. It's amazing how he works through people in worship, when I pray for people I feel it's more powerful when I'm worshipping. The kitchen here is phenomenal I have so much joy working in there and serving the people that are here.
I have also learned so much about resolving conflict. It is also a way for me to be obedient to God, he has really blessed me in being bold and stepping out and resolving whatever is going on with me. I mean who really likes conflict? Anyone? No not so much for this kid. But we have to go through it to make our relationships stronger. It's great! It may suck when you do go through it but in the end it really makes a difference.
Today at the butcher I went into get my meat that I ordered (only 2.5kg) and I came out with about 25kg of meat! "He said since you take care of us with your cookies we want to give you this meat free of charge!" I just stood there and didn't know what to say with my jaw dropped to the floor! I felt so blessed! I was blessed for being a blessing. They're so great down there, whenever I call no matter who answers the phone I just have to say this is Courtney and they know exactly who I am and they always thank me for my cookies. I just figure that why not be a pick'me'up to someone, I just do it through cookies. So then my milk man came today as well. He handed me a piece of paper and said I cut your milk prices down. He halved my prices! I was amazed, I gave him a big hug and couldn't thank him enough. See when you give someone cookies and continue to bless them eventually they will return the favor! It was almost overwhelming today God is just so awesome and works in the little things that others may not get excited about. I mean really who gets excited over this stuff except for may be a mom or a business person!
Having the snowboarder staff here is so, just so, so hhmm what's the right word...... fanfreakingtabulous! I love them so much, I just feel so blessed to serve them here. This school is going to be amazing and God is just going to rock it out! They are different from backpackers which is good I love the mentality of them and learning new things from them! I feel so encouraged everyday when they come in the kitchen just to see how I am or just to give me a hug! They are ah-mazin'! I'm psyched to see what God has in store for us!
