It has been some time since I have sat my bottom down and actually checked my blog. I have not even been on a computer in at least a month - I am dreading Lotus notes tomorrow, it's just gonna be painful. I'm thinking somewhere in the mid 400's - at least 275 will be junk. I hope I don't get any IT stress!
My summer has been rather different. I have an office job; paying dept bills, invoicing etc. and some event planning! YEAH (My favourite bit.) Sitting in the office all summer would may have resulted in a tragic and painful caffeine overdose. One of my bosses assigned my to camp visits for the USE's 24/7 initiative. How awesome is that? I worked Tuesday through Saturday, and had the best summer visiting camps, setting up prayer rooms, meeting with youth from all over the territory - I was in my element! I couldn't have been doing anything nicer.
I had two weeks vacation in Florida with my mammie, daddy, sister, brother and brother in law at our friends villa. We visited all the Disney parks and had our pictures taken with the big vermin. My sister was so emotional, she cried, what a lassie.
Straight from vacation I had to head to Star Lake Musicamp, (They don't realise that music camp is two words, oh well...)where we had a tent for 24/7 prayer. I have never felt so safe at SLMC as I did this year.
Spiritually, God is leading me into some of the places that I never in my life would have expected to be. At best, I thought I would go to church on Sunday, (not the Army, when I was a wee girl I was planning to go to another church cause the Army demanded too much from me during the week,) not drink and not swear, (still working on the last one there!) God is being crazy, I have no idea what to do with Him.
Physically, it looks like I have to head home for a year. I need to sort out some debt I gained for myself while I was a student. It's very bittersweet; even so, God is speaking through that, so please pray for me at this time - He can keep being crazy, if He keeps being faithful.
It's good to be back in the land of the living. I'll post my pictures soon.

Mhari,

So nice to check your blog out :0 I totally understand the business of the summer, my blog has been quiet for some time too.
When are you planning to go home? I talked to Carole and I might be coming in october.. that would be so awesome to meet!
As for the new places God is taking you- IT IS AMAZING!!!! God has been leading me to the new heights as well and made my feet like the deer's feet, but He forgot to mention one part- high places often require lots of bushes and thorn to come through...that's alright though, He is Faithful!
Be Blessed!
Hey Mhairi,
bout time you got back from prayer partying and got to see Zach and Noah , they have been missing their wee lass ....
The Lord is leaping out through your words of praise , ( after the boring part about your office jobs) , and testimony from the prayer rooms has been great ... ask Joanna about Zach's prayer room experience at Tecumseh..... I was blessed! ....
You could have left out the next to last paragraph .... but we'll be praying still .....
peace and joy ,
