Big Push: Peace & Justice Internship

For those of you who've been keeping track of where I'm at, you'll know that I'm currently on a Peace & Justice Internship with YWAM Winnipeg. So far, the internship has been a wonderful opportunity to get involved and learn to understand Winnipeg, my likely home for a while, as well as get a sense for God's heart in peace and justice issues. You can check out some of the blog posts about the internship here.

Along with doing the internship, comes finances. So far, through the gracious support of those behind me financially, and those who've donated, I've been able to raise most of the money I need to complete the internship. I started a campaign online to raise the rest of the money, and I've been able to reach 50% of my goal. So, being half way there, I only have to raise another $750 before I have all my finances! So I would like to ask if you would consider supporting me in this internship, and spreading the word to those you know to help with this good cause. You can share the page links on the left bar.

Settling In

Every day, in the new house I inhabit, there is a set of stairs that goes one flight up to the bathroom I use. In the morning, the stairs creek so loudly is causes me to jump, but by the afternoon they're the same as any other surface in the house. The older I get, the more this is my experience with new places. The stairs are wood. They settle by the end of the day from frequent traffic, but since they're organic, they expand and detract all night. Wood is durable, pliable, easy to attach to itself, and sturdy. It also creeks as it ages.
