Hello Family,
I am doing well in San Francisco!
During  my 'off season' with DTS I am working allot in our main Drop in center , called the Ellis room. I really like connecting with the people that come in daily and building relationships with them. Everyone knows me as one of the girls that's been here forever. Even tho it's only been four years it sometimes feels like I've known these people forever!
I like being able to stay in San Francisco for a good amount of time this spring/summer. I'm looking forward to our staff retreat this year, spending a weekend in the woods fellow-shipping with one another and having some great quite time with the Lord in some trees!!!!


Also last October God was speaking to me about putting earthly things before the Lord. I was praying and He was speaking loud and clear that something I often put before God is FOOD! I used to go to food for everything, when I was sad, happy, mad and even rejoicing...always food...not going to God instead, or second. And that's not good. So i decided to change my eating habits for the Lord, because I also knew that what He's called me to do ( going over seas and serving ) I need to be at my best! I started a diet/ life style eating changes the last week of October. With a 1 1/2 month over the seas break. I am proud to announce that I have reached my first goal of loosing 54 pounds!!!!!!
yay!!!! My first goal was fifty pounds and now I'm on to my next goal ( with a 4 pound accomplishment) of loosing another 50 pounds!!!!! Just thought everyone should know. It's all for God, He wants your all and all and nothing should go before God, even something so little as food....
Thanks for the prayers and support!!! :)
love Carrianne
