a little rest

Hi there.
I’m taking a break from planning just to let you know how life is going. Well, my life is my internship right now because it’s taking so much room right now. I’m in the middle of planning and I am just looking forward to be done with that I have a good overall picture [...]

Come On!

My title is “Come On!” because that’s what I’ve been telling myself all afternoon long. But not with the usual “C’mon you can do it!” tone, instead it’s more like a “Can’t be true!” tone.
I noticed that my cooperating teacher (the primary school teacher I’m doing my internship with) seemed to freely talk about Christians [...]

Done away with

I felt quite good about my trip to my job tonight. I never work on Wednesdays (actually I’m down to one day a week because of my internship) but I paid them a visit.
Saturday November 24, 2007 will be my last day at VV. And I rejoice. It’s been a long long while I’m thinking [...]

Gabrielle can pray!

Last Friday I had a full day. Spent the morning in Pointe-Claire teaching, then went downtown at university for an internship meeting and then spent the evening at church for youth group.
What is funny is that our university supervisor started the meeting by saying something like, “Praise the Lord, you all got here safe”. I [...]

First Meeting

We had our first official youth night tonight. We (two people from two evangelical churches in our area) invited the young people from our churches and friends who have no youth, to join together and create a youth. We were 12 people (minus 4 leaders and a young couple who gave the Bible study), so [...]

End of the story

Again, for those wondering about my internship, this is the latest news:
They finally got something for me and called me on Monday late in the afternoon (so this means I spent my firs day of internship in my pj’s at home). The bus system doesn’t seem to be working so well for me, in the [...]

Teacher

It seems that there is always something that calls me back to praying for a certain teacher. You remember that I often wrote about a university teacher last year and how the teacher seemed to use a lot of Christian words and expressions but the teacher’s way of speaking about God-believers always frustrated me? (PS: [...]

Frustrating? Oh no!

For those of you who have been wondering about my internship and if they’ve found a spot for me in a school, well, here’s my story.
Beginning of October: Talk with the internship guy, conclusion: We’ll see what could work.
Mid October: Talk with the internship guy, conclusion: It’s tough to find anything, we’ll see.
A week before [...]

Disturbing

The small organic, vegetarian restaurant where we meet for Bible study with university Christians is quite an interesting place. It’s like a medium-size house with several large rooms where second-hand couches, chairs and tables are found. The music played is always changing, going from Elvis to some Indian melodies and the art displayed on the [...]

#109 dans Sur les Ailles de la Foi.

I was at a prayer meeting last Wednesday and it was held in a church nearby. Once a month the two small evangelical churches that are on the same street in Verdun do a prayer meeting together. So I was sitting there and noticed that they used a different type of hymn book. In French [...]
