HELLO,

It's me again!
Well I don't have much to say right now except Thank you to all of you who have been praying for me and supported me.

I've pretty much been doing the same old thing, coaching hockey, leading a youth group, and sleeping. It was kind of exciting today, I was the only coach at practice today, but only 3 girls showed up. So we played some games and shot pucks, nothing to interesting.

Anyways,
Thanks to everyone for helping me get to this point so far!

in Christ,
Skye

2 months away

Hey everyone!

It's December 19th and I think I might be crazy. I've been coaching a U14 girls hockey team for the last few months, and it's been a blast. I've also been helping out with a Jr. High and High School youth group at the church I go to. I am currently looking for work for the 2 months before I leave, so I can earn a little bit of income for my trip.I am leaving for beautiful New Zealand in 2 months, and I'm a little bit nervous.

Maybe it's people telling me that 6 months is a really long time to be away from home, or maybe it's people telling me that I'm not going to have enough money to get there.

I'm not really sure what's going on, but I do know is that I'm doing the Lord's work and he will take care of me.

In Christ,
Skye

I'm working on it

So, I think it's about my 3rd day with a blog and I still don't understand exactly what I'm doing. I figured out how to write, obviously, edit my profile, and look at other people's profiles. That's about it so far, but I'll figure it out.
I'm off to try to get a good night sleep

December 3rd

Well today's December 3rd and I'm just finishing my support letter. It's kind of weird doing all this again, it's been two and half years since I've been to Scotland. Wow, I've forgotten how much fun I had there. Well, I don't leave for 3 months and that seems like a long ways away, but then I remember that I'll be gone for 6 months.

Maybe that's why I became a little bit nervous today. I think of all the things that I won't get to see or have while I'm gone, but the joy that Jesus brings me and what I'll be doing for him makes it all that much more worth it.

When I become nervous I think of the passage of Matthew 8:18-22:
"
Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side. A scribe came, and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.” But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”'

So for now I'll keep on plugging away at my day to day life, for I know that my God will use me in someway every where I go.

With the Love and Peace of Jesus Christ,
I hope you're doing well!
