Happenings

Kudos to Annika and Andrea leading the prayer talk yesterday! 10 out of 10 on the stepping up scale. Double Whoot!

So that I don’t get overwhelmed with our coolness, I thought I’d write down all the ideas we’ve had and upcoming events, etc. Consider this a one-stop-shop for Bamboozlers info! Oh, and I think it would be awesome if you all make these your own by taking charge of organizing one (and Lydia and I can’t do everything…). Let me know if there’s any of these you want to claim.

Looking Forward

Hey gang!

I’m totally looking forward to the next few weeks! This week Lydia and I will be leading again since Andrea and Annika can’t do their prayer study till next week. I was thinking of looking at the tongue. Now stick out your tongue and stare dowdwards…I said look downwards…you’re not looking!

Hehe, I’m in a silly mood. Okay, so seriously I’ve been finding a lot of verses lately that basically say: the tongue is a restless evil and no man can tame it. Lydia, does this sound good to you? This is the verse I’m thinking of using:

James 3:6-12The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and itself set on fire by hell.All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives or a grapevine bear figs? (Matt 7:18&19 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them (prophets))? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

Also, I’m hoping that we can start organizing times that we can meet up throughout the week to go out sharing. I think sharing with other bamboozlers will help us get to know more about each other. Remind me about it on friday.

I’m so glad most of you came out to Impact on friday! That was fun! I hope that you can all start coming out to the party afterwards too. This week I’ll be taking some pics of people for Winter Con advertizing. It’s gonna be a hoot. If you girls want I can let you be in charge of some of the advertising.

 And before I go to class I just wanted to clarify with you all: if you ever need to talk to me you are VERY welcome to call my cell. I have it on all night next to my pillow in case you need to talk. And if I don’t answer at any time just leave me a fun message and I’ll try my best to get back to you as soon as I hear it.

 That’s all for now!

Welcome to the Bamboozlers’ Blog!

Well, here it is! Welcome to the blog of the U of C C4C 2006/2007 girls D.G. hosted by Lydia and Zoe, a.k.a. THE BAMBOOZLERS!

This blog can be a place where we girls stay in contact throughout the week, talk about God, scripture, the D.G., our everyday lives, share stories, plan outreaches/parties, or anything else you can think of!!
If you have any ideas for the blog, write a post about it and place it under the category “blog”. If you have any brainstorms for the D.G., post about it under the category “D.G.”

Zoe’s brainstorming for more categories:
1) Sharing stuff that makes us smile (The “Whatever is’s” from Phil 4:8)
2) Sharing creative stuff we’ve done like poetry, pictures, songs etc.
3) Discussing Biblical stuff, e.g. the Nephilim
4) Plain old blog posts about how we’ve been doing (physically, intellectually, relationally and spiritually)
5) Random thoughts about random things
6) Good quotes we’ve come across or words of the day
7) Contact info (password protected, I’m thinking)

Okay, some of those were kinda redundant. Just some thoughts. I’m looking forward to seeing the categories that actually develop over time.

This blog is public, so feel free to bless all viewers with your thoughts. However, if you have anything personal to say that you want to be viewed only by your fellow bamboozlers, protect it by a password.

Remember, true friendship is a safe place to let things matter, so feel free to share what matters to you!

Love you all(ready)!
