Home and Graduated, ahhhh what now!

So I'm finally home! After a missed flight because the airport changed the time of our flight. It's been a crazy run but this Thursday I walked across the stage and received my diploma! Yay finally. It has really been a happy sad graduation experience! I loved Bible College and I'm honestly not quite ready to leave! But Hey God knows what He has for me next! Here are some of my grad pictures!
I am also happy because many of my good friends graduated with me as well and CJ! lol I met him fist semester and he is like my brother! I also was able to see Hayley and Tori! I had tons of my best friends there that totally stood by me and have been a total blessing to me!



These are my amazing friends! I love them all so much. I have been so blessed to see them all grow in the Lord and am also extremely blessed to have had them all in my life.


Of course my amazing family came and they all really have encouraged me to pursue the Lord without them I would not be where I am without them! Thank you all! 




Above is CJ and my sissy Jenny! They are amazing! Haha siblings all the way! And Hayley! You all know her! She is amazing and I just want everyone to know! God has really blessed me with her! I love her tons! Such a great friend!

Missing New Zealand

You know your missing New Zealand when you start to want to cry over leaving when you see the sun set! I have had an absolutely wonderful time here! I want to show you some of my favorite pictures that  I took during my time here! And don't worry I'll explain them!

Yes guys a double rainbow.  Believe it or not theses aren't rare here! But beautiful still! New Zealand reminds me of what the end of a rainbow would look be like! Super green and beautiful!


Reading under a tree! A nice typical Sunday afternoon! Photo props to Hayley!


The Mount! This is the beautiful beach that I had a chance to spend every Sunday at! Lets just say it never gets old!

So these are just some of the amazing pictures that I have! I hope they have blessed you! I have officially graduated! Ahhh scary! But at the end of this week I'll be back in Cali! I know I'm going to miss it. I suggest that if anyone wants to come visit New Zealand they defiantly should!! I specifically came to New Zealand to grow deeper in my relationship with Christ. Being here I have been blessed to learn how faithful my God is and how much He loves me.  New Zealand provided the perfect place for me to sit still and wait on God! I'm now of course, excited to go home! Although I figure I will have to stop saying "sweet as." Hahaha yes I know that this sounds like a bad word but here in NZ everyone says it to emphasize a point. It is defiantly not a bad word here but it will defiantly be taken that way back in Cali! Lol I guess I'll just have to let you guys know how it goes!

It Never Hurts to Pretend to Be Five!

Yes I'm going to write about Hayley, Heidi, and I jumping on our school's trampolines! I haven't jumped on a trampoline since I was seven! So needless to say this is quite an exciting outing!!! As you can tell Hayley used to be in dance so she can do some crazy things on the trampoline! Jumping on the trampoline was really fun and reminded me that sometimes I need to just let go of every care and worry and just embrace having fun! Not going to lie, I felt like I was five again!

Pretending to be five again!!! Oh Yes! There can never be enough laughs!

Rainy Days

It's been raining like crazy here in New Zealand! In Cali we get some rain but nothing like this rain.  It rains all the time! And they say its a dry season!!!!  With lots of rain comes time to read, drink lots of coffee, and play lots of games.  The end of our semester is coming up and I'll be graduating (yay), that's a scary thought! I love all the people here and I am really sad to be leaving.  Although I know that God has plans for me when I get home! So with needless to say I have enjoyed the rain lately because it gives us all lots of time to hang.

Classic, reading and coffee! (Victorious Christian Living! By Allen Redpath)

   
         Of course game spoons never gets old! (Lets just say we are a little bit too competitive!!)

Catch Up With Me

 \


So far I have seen some beautiful places and things in New Zealand.  Along with studying (like crazy) we get to do amazing things! For one of my classes we had to go into the town and street witness, which of course I am terrible at! (Hayley and I street witnessing top picture.)
You should also know about Selina she is a great friend! I met her a little over a year ago! Oh and did I mention she has an amazing voice!
And finally on outreach to Russel we had some spare time to walk along the beach.  This of course started our frantic journey of saving all the star fish from the seagulls!
Needless to say my life lately has been full of fantastic friends, random adventures, and lots of studying!

Here and There... and Everywhere in Between

Hi! My name is Christina and this is my first blog! I decided to start a blog because I realized I'm literally the only person who... doesn't blog.  (I figured I should fix that!)  Thanks to my amazing friend Hayley I now hope to bless all of you with a part of my life.
I am from lovely California but I am currently studying the Bible in New Zealand! So here are my adventures the beautiful country of New Zealand.
