I was recently in Vancouver, rocking it up with the Revolution Session students, and seeking some refuge myself, and as excited as I was for my return to Victoria, I was also really fearing the return to an empty house, lack of community and fellowship...etc etc etc. I figured I would get home, mope around and pout because in comparison to Vancouver I dont have many friends here. Yet I was wrong! I was home less then 5 minutes when I got a phone call from a friend of mine. There was no time for mopeing and pouting. Off to her house I went, and it was then I realised, yup, I sure am home. The visit was short lived as I had to head off to work a few hours later.

Today was an excellent day. I got off work this morning, and expected to go home, sleep for a bit, maybe call a friend to chill, but if not then mope and pout. Why do I keep thinking this...my thoughts proved wrong again. Today was a day full of adventures. It involved an AA meeting for young people - it was so fun...I got to give a bit of my testimony (this was unplanned, they kinda just picked me out of some people to talk...and we all know I love to talk!) The day also involved making a new friend. She is awesome (shes the one I went to the meeting with). And it also involved me getting another tattoo...(sorry mom!)...check it out below...




Yup, it is a tattoo on the inside of my lip! I know, I am so cool! It says "RHEMA" which is greek for the spoken word [of God]. Our words have the ability to bring life or to bring death. Job 27:4a says "my lips will speak no wickedness". May that be true in my life "My lips will speak no wickedness."

Psalm 34:1 "I will extol the Lord always, His praise will be on my lips"

I could list of hundreds of verses partaning to lips, words, speach etc. But I wont.

I am wanting to get the Ehpesians 6 Armor tattooed on me...I supose this is the first step. The sword of the spirit which is the [rhema] word of God....maybe there will be more to come!

I was with my friend, and she wanted a tattoo aswell, but had to call her mother for parental concent....her mothers words to me were "Nicole, you are suposed to be a good influence on her!" and then said "Dont let her do something stupid like getting her tounge pierced." The result....

Yup, she did it, got it peirced. In my defence, I did my best to stop it. Really I did!

God is here.
