Every Monday and Wednesday I have a step aerobics class at North Hennepin. Its actually a lot of fun. But yesterday as i was doing the steps, I felt like in a way I can compare step to my walk with God. When I was doing step I felt like I was just going through the motions. Step up with right foot, step down with left.. and so on. Sometime my walk with God can feel like that. get up , go to school, come home, go to work, do homework, then quiet time with God, then get up the next day and do the same thing all over again. I felt like i was just going through the motions. Then I remembered that song by Matthew West " Going through the motions" Cause just okay is not enough Help me fight through the nothingness of life I don't wanna go through the motions I don't wanna go one more day without Your all consuming passion inside of me God just reminded it doesn't have to be like that. Throughout the day we should always be thinking about him. Then my quiet time shoul

So this is post is going to be short but I just thought I would share that I am hosting a girl from Colombia this week through my school. She got here yesterday and then today attended my classes. She is here until Sunday but so far its been fun. We went bowling yesterday and she won. I have been speaking in Spanish at home but then at school or sometimes in the car I will speak English because she is fluent in English also. Her name is Alejandra. The funny thing is that she loves the snow but hates the cold. Usually in Colombia its 70 degrees F. She also told me that McDonald delivers there. Just thought that was interesting but i have been learning some similarities and differences between Colombia and United States. But we want to go see a movie tomorrow but we don't know which one. Let me know of your suggestions.

Its been a couple of weeks since I blogged, sorry about that. But today I just wanted do a mini reflection of 2009 and then my hopes of 2010 and also share a few pictures from my last week of 2009. So this past year has been a rollercoaster for me. I have a loot of good memories but I also have some sad memories too. But God never said life would be easy and like this Bible study I'm doing says in order for us to thankful for the good days we have to experience the bad days. Through the bad days we learn to depend on God more. Anyways my family and i went out to Chilies on New Years Eve and while waiting for our food we went around the table and said a couple things that we liked in 2009. So i said my favorite thing I did was go to Wisconsin dells with my family. Even though it was only a 24 hour trip I really grew close to my family during that trip and had so much fun. And I hope one day to take my family there because it was a really great bonding time. So this past week my fam
