Partying, Sex & Drugs!

Some of you may be shocked at this blog title & asking yourself ,"Why would Dee use this as her blog title?"  Well, let me tell you...partying, sex & drugs was the answer that I got from the youth here when I asked them what there was to do for fun in Portage!  At first I was kind of  surprised/shocked, but then I realized that it is so real not just here in Portage, but everywhere!!  Today's Youth are looking for value & fulfillment in partying it up, sleeping with a guy or girl & the high that comes from smoking weed!!  So now the challenge comes...how do I let them see that these "thrills" are just temporary?  How do I let them see that they are valued & precious to God & were created for a purpose?  Pray for me that I will be able to help them see that Jesus is all they need...& please talk & be real with the Youth where you are....they need the love of Jesus to be poured into them!

Just Me & God!

Ok so I am officially from Portage la Prairie, Manitoba!!!  Woot, Woot!!  These last few days have been crazy...I have met a lot of new people, moved in to my new apartment, learned(am learning) to drive (or crash) my new scooter & I have moved to a new city!  There have been many sweet moments with me & God---many tears, many cries for help & patience as I learn to deal with this new transition in my life.  You see, I am a girl who likes to be comfortable, who has trouble with change, who fears being rejected when meeting new people, & who never is far from her friends & family....BUT GOD is changing me!!!  I am totally out of my comfort zone, am meeting tons of new people & moved across Canada....Oh yes, God is changing me! And though these days have been difficult...I would not change anything!!!  It's just me & God taking one day at a time :)
