here today...

Hey friends,

Hope y'all have yourselves a great weekend. I am staying true to my reputation as being here today and gone tomorrow, so I thought I'd give you a heads-up for when that's taking place:
today - april 4th-ish
april 9 (after church) - april 29
may 11 - forever. no, not really forever!
I couldn't stay away that long- this place has some gravitational force that sucks me back in. i think it's called "home"
Anyways, I think that means I miss the 1st Alter in the new church. AND the Rubber Band war.
For a while these sacrifices seemed really heavy. But I've been doing Beth Moore's Study: To Live is Christ, and it's about Paul's travels and the prices he paid.
I guess reaching out to these ISV college students is the least I can do. Especially after praying "here I am Lord, send me" over and over while in college.
funny. He listened.

ps. Make sure you check out the amazing fabric used as the backdrop in the church. like, what genius would find such amazing material!!

pps. like the turtle picture? this is a live shot of a student from my very first tour ever. it's soooooo funny to me to see that turtle with it's heart set on his Tongue!! lol

Let's take care of it, eh?

"At the creation of man, God commanded that humans in Genesis 1:28 take control over the earth and rule over the animals.11 Having dominion doesn't mean to pillage and plunder, but to take care of the earth and its creatures and resources. Immediately after creating Adam, God put him into the garden of Eden that He had planted and put him to work in "taking care" of the garden. The Hebrew verb translated "to take care" (shamar - Strong's number H8104) is also translated "preserve", "keep", "watch", "maintain", "defend", and "attend." "

Jana speaking: it's like how a parent has "dominion" over their young child... the child does NOT serve and slave for the parent; rather, the parent Takes Care Of the child. that's how we need to take care of the earth

"Just as we show our love for the Savior by reaching out to the lost, we believe that we show our love for the Creator by caring for his creation... This involves the urgent need to relieve human suffering caused by bad environmental practice..."

it's about me. not life! just this post

Hello! I'm Jana. I looove thunderstorms (something we Never got in Colorado like we do here in MI). Actually, I love rain period. I do not get sick of it.
I love cream soda, preferable diet because suger makes me go haywire. which is good sometimes. anyways, that's my favorite type o' soda. (pop, soft drink, coke, ... or whatever you personally call the fizzy stuff). OH, and we're lucky because Faygo is Not nation wide, but it's heeere. and Red Pop is pretty darned good, too. It was my prefered beverage after community ed softball games! memories.

I ski. I actually ski a lot. I say it's what I "do", but that sounds wierd. Tennis is up there, ultimate frisbee, blah blah. I love sports, but not listing them. I just rediscovered horseback riding- in Costa Rica where there are absolutely NO rules and boundaries... it's all or nuthin' man.
I myself personally am not artsy, but I LOVE artsy people and stuff- music, "art" art, dance (LOVE dance), ...

I love musicals. Thank You mom and dad, and eventually Sonja, for this. My goal for April is to visit leasa in Chi-town and finalllllly see Wicked. a student first told me about it. forced the music into my ears is more like it, on a bus thru some mtns in cent. america 2 yrs ago. good times. but Yes i loved it and Yes I have tried numerous times. My names never been drawn in Borders and the box office had 1 ticket left for 3 of us after a 1.5 hr wait. bummer.

My 4 food groups are: chocolate, greek (aka mediterranean), mexican, and milk.
The worst thing in the world is loving people is leaving them. frequently. in many places
Praise the Lord- HE doesn't leave. I learned this. like, experience taught me this. someone left. and it didn't feel too good. but HE didn't. thank goodness! BTW, I'm a Christian

I Want To Speak Spanish. fluently. the advice I've been receiving: get a latin boyfriend. yeah, That's helpful!
I love animals, am allergic to dogs and cats, pet them anyways, sneeze, and move on. GO Enviroment!! Treehugger! Trees Don't Grow On Money Either. ect ect.

i travel and i like to surf (trying) latin music rocks my socks off. and scrubs is a very funny show!

sometimes I wonder how well people know me. so take this!
