Ramblings Along the Journey: December 2011
http://splattyhaps.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Ramblings Along the Journey. Wednesday, December 14, 2011. To Celebrate or Not to Celebrate the "US" of Christmas…? I just saw that I've had 1,131 views of my blog! I'm sure other bloggers will agree. So, if you're one of the 1,131 views on here, thanks! I had no idea you were out there. :). It's Christmas time, and as you saw by the last blog entry I posted, my shared blog post from Jamie TVWM. I honestly wouldn't go back for anything. But I do have a dilema… what to do with Christmas. I guess...How can...

Ramblings Along the Journey: The Beauty of a Moment...
http://splattyhaps.blogspot.com/2012/04/beauty-of-moment.html
Ramblings Along the Journey. Thursday, April 19, 2012. The Beauty of a Moment. We are half-way through our second week in Belo. It's been awesome here so far, as I alluded to in my last post. We have LOVED every day so far, and I've been super impressed with the team as most have gone for days without having a "low moment" to talk about when we debrief at the end of our day. That's pretty impressive! She very gently put it in her shirt pocket and smiled at me. She said, " I will keep it as a remembra...

Ramblings Along the Journey: July 2011

Ramblings Along the Journey. Sunday, July 24, 2011. Hotties… and SIN. Where I'm from they call hot water bottles "hotties". Knowing that may make you realize I'm not talking about really good looking men. But… hot water bottles… and SIN? So a few weeks ago I was FREEZING and got my hottie all ready to take to bed with me (sheesh, that just sounds bad! But couldn't find the cover. Not a problem I thought! I went to sleep hugging that bottle like it was the only thing keeping me alive! Slept like a baby ac...

Ramblings Along the Journey. Thursday, December 30, 2010. 2011…. still sounds kinda space age don't you think? I trust you all had a great Christmas holiday! If you are like most people, the Christmas music is put away, the tree might be down, and you're on your way to figure out what to do for New Year's Eve. In Tauranga the biggest celebration for NYE I'm guessing would have to be at Mount Maunganui. I've spent a couple NYEs down there, and it really is fun! That's my personal prayer anyway! As I refle...

Ramblings Along the Journey: June 2011
http://splattyhaps.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Ramblings Along the Journey. Monday, June 6, 2011. It's just one of those… few months! Life for me the last few months has been a practical application of the word "flexibility". Good thing I have that one firmly tucked under my belt - thanks YWAM - and so it hasn't exactly thrown me… but my neck is a little sore from all the whipping around! This is an example of a picture. From the Bible Story Book. You know how we grow up believing that the "still waters" of Ps 23 are peaceful and calm? I was raised i...

Ramblings Along the Journey: Hippies, Protests, and Prostitutes
http://splattyhaps.blogspot.com/2012/05/hippies-protests-and-prostitutes.html
Ramblings Along the Journey. Sunday, May 6, 2012. Hippies, Protests, and Prostitutes. As I sit here I am sad to think this is our last day in Belo. Man time flies when you're having fun! There's lots to tell you before we leave! Please keep in mind I am sick as I am writing this, so it's not near as creatively written as I would like. Banners we walked around with, and handed out pamphlets to anyone who would take them. Funny thing was - they took them! Along with passing out stuff, we had to wear medica...

Ramblings Along the Journey: September 2012

Ramblings Along the Journey. Wednesday, September 19, 2012. Keepin It Real - Part 2. Thanks for your comments on here and on FB about the last post. It's stirred up some discussion which has been great! If you didn't read my response to one of my friend's comments, let me clarify something - I DO think it's important to filter what you say. Believe me, I have to do it all the time. ha! But my point was that just because you don't SAY it, doesn't mean you aren't GUILTY of having a bad attitude. Christian ...

Ramblings Along the Journey: May 2012
http://splattyhaps.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Ramblings Along the Journey. Friday, May 18, 2012. Guns, Drug Traffickers, and Ping Pong. You know those days when you wake up and think… was that a gunshot or a firecracker? Yeah, me neither - except for this last week when we were staying in a Brazilian Favela (slum community). There are over 1000 Favelas in the whole of Rio de Janeiro, and we had the amazing opportunity of staying for a week in one of them. Have you seen the movie City of God? He works very closely with the YWAM team at the house.).

Ramblings Along the Journey: Brazil!!
http://splattyhaps.blogspot.com/2012/04/brazil.html
Ramblings Along the Journey. Thursday, April 19, 2012. You know how someone says to you, "Hey! Let's go to… * fill in with random place you have NEVER considered going to. And the first thing you think is, "Um… nope. Don't think so."? Yeah That was Brazil for me. The DTS Training Director said to me, "Hey! It's cool enough at night to have on sweat pants, yet warm enough during the day for shorts and flip flops. Yup… perfect! So far, Belo has been amazing! Ramblings Along The Journey. No Longer a Victim.
