ABS Completed!


Hey there folks!

I totally forgot to update my Blog since I have been back from 
New Zealand
ANYWAYS!!
We made it everyone! 
You got me to New Zealand!
THANK YOU!
and I had an amazing experience
 I would LOVE to tell you all about it but...
I CANNOT!
as the course was based off this interesting question.
"DO YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW?"
and know what you don't need to know!
This is the main lesson I have taken home with me from NZ
I dont need to know,
 because as long as I have faith in Christ 
He will take me where He needs me.
I don't know where I will be in 9 months from now,
I know I will marry the man God has chosen for me but thats about it.
And I'm perfectly fine with that notion.
Because God has a plan for me 
and He will reveal these plans 
when He sees fit.
Anyway that is one of many of the big things I have learned!
If you want to talk more with me about the amazing journey
I took with God, give me a call and we shall chat!
Anyways,
This is the closing of my
"Life in Movement" blog
I will be starting a new blog!
I just want to thank you for reading!!
Your awesome,

Toodles!

Love,

The Plane & A Jar Of Excitement


Well Hello There!

It's finally here! The time to leave for New Zealand!
I have raised just about all of the money! I still need $400
But I have worked something out with the school so I can get it to them after the program!
I have my Insurance! My hostels booked!
My bus from Auckland to Cambrige! I can't Believe it's all happening!
My flight is at 5pm tomorrow from Detroit!
Ill be staying in Detroit tonight so today is my last day in Canada for awhile!
I have no clue how Im going to sleep tonight!!!!!!
 WAY TO PUMPED!!
I cant wait to see what God will do with my life!!
How he will shape me and change me into a better person.
I cant wait to be closer with Him and to learn more about Him!
I really want to build my foundation with him and truly become a woman of God.
It's good.
Its going to be so hard but you only get out of it what your willing to put into it.
And I want to give it my all and really push myself out of my comfort zone,
I mean just leaving Canada I am pushing myself out of my comfort zone.
Lol I love Canada and I feel comfortable and safe here. Being in New Zealand will truly test me and make me feel a little bit helpless and new not knowing the area.
 But thats where trust in the Lord comes in, 
and I completely trust in Him and His will for my life. 
He truly has all of me.

ANYWAYS!!!
All packed up! 
SET AND READY TO GO!
I will be able to post one blog in New Zealand and then I will Journal the rest of the time!
I'm hoping to blog all my journals when I get back to share with everyone.
WOW!
I just realized how many explanation marks I have in this blog!
You must be able to tell how freeekin pumped I am!!!!!!
anyway! 
Hope my travels are safe and not to complicated!
I' going to take a million pictures!

GOOD BYE CANADA!
<3 you


Love,

Infectious Flying Clock.

(My Oh Deary Me Face)

Well Hello There!

You may be asking yourselves 
"Hey Holly, whats with that ridiculously hilarious black hole of  a face your making?"
Well folks... it's an easy answer!
I'm leaving for New Zealand in ....
22 DAYS!
Time is suddenly moving verrry veery quickly,
the days are short and they fly by!
It doesnt really help that I have a sinus & chest infection tho!
I've been sleeping alot trying to recover,
it's likey the worst sickness I have ever had!
very very painful!
But now i have anti-biotics so hopefully I will be in tip top
health for when I leave!
Im starting to think the clocks are infected with something that is making the time go faster!
That is an absolute basket case crazy thing to say!
I know but thats what Im thinking.
When you are in need of more time it makes the little time you have left
Go by very quickly, I feel like I blink and then another day goes past!
ANYWAYS!
I still need lots of prayers, because I am in great financial need still!
God will provide the funds so I'm trying not to worry about it to much.
but it is very difficult not to!

Stay Classy everyone! try not to catch my sickness I am very contagious!

Love,

Coffee, Distraction & 24 Days....

(Crazy freakout face)

Well Hello There!

So basically I'm leaving for New Zealand in 24 Days...
WHAT THE HECK!!!
How on earth did it approach this fast?
wait one second........ Ill be right back.....
..............
..............
(Totally won a roll up the rim and I'm going to claim my prize!!)

...............

(The outcome of my roll up the rim decides weather or not I get another coffee!)

ANYWAYS.....
Iam very distracted today! 
There are a million things that I need to do...
I have alot to prepare for New Zealand still.
I need to start using some different fundraising strategies, 
like doing spring cleaning for people by donation.
Its pretty exciting..
 also I looked around my room for about 45 minutes trying to find my right shoe...
My mind is just all over the place! and believe it or not...
I couldn't find my left sock after finding my right shoe... 
WOW!
Its been pretty difficult for me trying to really trust in God's provision for funding
I fell like I just want to do all myself but I need to trust that God will provide.
This has kind of kept me very distracted, I feel like when people are talking to me I'm not really paying attention... I'm kind of just talking to God in my head.
"This is what you want me to do... so why aren't you providing?"
"I've done all I can at this point... the rest is yours."
I CERTAINLY NEED LOTS OF PRAYER!
So please keep me in your thoughts and prayers, I need strength right now!
And some focus,
hopefully I can accomplish alot today,
I know this post was a little heavy, but I do really need your prayers.

Love,

Oh Great and Mighty Tim Hortons Eh!


Well Hello There Eh!

So basically I have a problem....
I LOVE COFFEE!!!
and not just coffee ....
TIM HORTONS COFFEE
It's amazing
I drink ALOT of coffee!
It's what gets me going and keeps me up and running!
and somewhat alert.. those of you who know me
know I'm kind of a  wanderer.... 
It keeps me focused and I'm not sure what I will do
In New Zealand withOUT my Timmies!
So basically I'm trying to ween myself off of coffee
so when I go to New Zealand I wont have withdraws!!
WISH ME LUCK!!!
Cause I will likely go bonkers/mad/crazy
without my lovely beautiful delicious coffee!

(GOOD BYE MY SWEET TIM HORTONS COFFEE)
