Happy Belated Thanksgiving to all. I know that this is pretty late, but here's what I'm thankful for in the year 2006:
1) Jesus, My Savior, and for his enduring love for us.
2) My family that puts up with me through the good and the bad
3) My church and how encrouaging they are to me
4) My youth group and all the youth staff. My youth group has grown so much under the great leadership we have, and I'm so thankful for the time my youth staff puts toward our growth.
5) All my buddies
~ Liz and Melissa : These two girls sitck with me through thick and thin.I have so many laughs with these two. We are known as the 'Three Musketeers" , everyone at school knows who we are!
~ Miss Hannah Uveges: She is pratically my sister. I can go to her for anything. I love spontaneously staying at her house, or just acting like complete goof balls together.
6) Operation Barnabas : This summer was such a learning experience for me. I learned so much of how God commands us to tell others about him. Also I made some awesome friends I will keep for a life time.
*These are just some of the many things that God has blessed me with this year. I am eternally grateful to Him*

Well, I am a kinestetic learning, and according to that style of studying..i am supposed to take frequent breaks. This is my break from studying for the Chemistry test that will cause my death tomorrow. All is well with me. Life recently has been very enjoyable. Last Friday, I had allot of fun at the youth group all nighter. We went to the cavs game and then bowling,and then to a place for a lot of inflatable games. The problem was that we got back at 6am and I had to work at 10. Yeah, I was utterly exhausted. On saturday night we went to the Uveges home to watch the Buckeyes win.Yes, to the Loyal Michigan fans in the Uveges family, I will say it once again that we are just the better team....just accept it. Sunday was fun too, I am in charge of a Christmas mime for youth group, and it's going to turn out really well, i hope. My favorite part of the practice was when Mike Pavalak walked in and said " I want some more lines in this thing!" Jr. High boys, gotta love em. I can't wait for this holiday season. On Dec 3rd, two girls from my OB team, Sarah and Amy are coming to sing a song while I sign for church. Allot of other OB ers are coming to watch......so excited!!! Also, I'm going to do urban ministry work on the 21rst! Well, that's all for my random musings of the day. It's back to Lewis Structures and polar covalent bonds for me. ( p.s. I'll post pictures from the all- nighter later)

My mission field! These are the kids I want to minister to!
Me and Kailyn trying on bridal dresses!(sarabeth, this is going to be you soon!)

So, this entry is going to be titled: becky's thoughts from the week. Bear with me, for this is going to be the most random entry ever! Well, this week has been a little light on the school work load, so I hav had some time to just catch my breath and think abuot things.
Thought #1 I was thinking about college a lot this week, and I am getting really really excited. I can't wait to go and serve Chirst in awesome ways. Also, I am really exctied becasue I found out that I have an Urban ministry opportunity coming up! I get to help pass out treasure boxes to all the smiling faces at an elementary school in Cleveland. I can't wait!
Thought #2 I have been blessed with so many firends who just lift me up and encourage me all the time. I couldn't ask for better people in my life. This week especially, I was reminded of how much friends mean to me. Also, this week I have been missing my faraway friends. One of my friends Kailyn (in photo above) lives in Michigan, and I don't get to see her much. So, I basically miss her lots right now.
Thought #3 I am so glad God gave me the opportunity to go on OB. I shall say it again, I made some amazing friends, and learned so MUCH about evangelism. I miss those people after seeing them all...... (sarah,pics will be up soon!)
Thought #4 Okay,this one isn't very deep, but o well. I love pictures! For the past week I have been trying to surround myslef with pictures of my family and friends. I love walking into my room after a long day and see there smiling faces. SO, for your enjoyment....i've put up a couple of pictures that make me smile!

Valerie, me, Amy and Brit

Brit and Me!

people a lot!

Amazing, Wonderful , Refreshing, Encouraging, these are just a few words to describe my weekend. It was so jam packed with fun and excitement that I have to break it down into each day for you.
Friday:
- drove up to Grace College with my friend Laura, great car conversations, and we never got lost once!!!
- registered and then went on a hunt to find all my OBers. I was walking around looking for them when I turned to the corner and found about 15 of them. Leading the pack that nearly toppled me over with hugs was one of my best friends Valerie.Valerie was originally not going to be able to come, but she surprised me and made it!
-went to my leader Courtney's house and looked at pictures and talked till 12:30. some other things that happened at courtney's house include a huge rubberband war with chris, amy, josh, and bj
-called it a night with my room mates, Sarah and Brit

Saturday:
- helped CE national with a cleanup of the grounds around the training center
- went on a Wal- Mart run for some random stuff, boy did that bring back memories of the summer
- went to Grace's homecoming basketball game, they totally dominated
- played the sickest game of ultimate frisbee I have ever played in my life (basically it was a game between the guys on each team)
- the girls went to courtney's house and hung out
-went to Laura Mc Nulty's house where we watched HighSchool Musical and shared stoired from the summer
- at around midnight, Sarah, Brit, and I went around a walk of Winona Lake. It was so cute,and I had so much fun with my girlies!

Sunday:
- sang our OB songs for Winona Lake GBC
- had sad goodbyes with all

*So basically the end of the weekend was bittersweet. I had to realize that this might be the last time I see some of these kids. That was really hard to accept. But, I can say that the time I was with them were some of the greatest moments of my life*
