Bilingual Worship

By -



Well...over the past few months I have started writing a few blog posts and I haven't finished a single one.

 So, since I seem to be much better at posting updates on Facebook, I have decided to share some of my posts from Facebook on my blog as well. I will also (eventually) add more posts and content to my blog that are not posted on Facebook, but, for now, I'm going to start with sharing posts so that my blog gets updated more often. 

 *I will also try to post most things in English and Spanish to help challenge myself in my language abilities 

 I hope you enjoy reading!

Today I ran across this beautiful bilingual worship song from the Urbana missions conference back in December 2015 and I thought I would share it with all of you! (I'm actually somewhere in the audience of this video and this conference is where I first got connected to TEAM!)
Being bilingual and having studied Spanish for many years, I am always amazed by how God transcends language and culture. I love being able to worship the Lord in both of my languages and there is always something special about being able to change (somewhat) seamlessly between my heart/native language and another beautiful language that the Lord has give me such a strong passion for 

"May my whole life be like perfume at your feet"

Hoy encontré esta canción de alabanza bilingüe de la Urbana "conferencia de misión" en diciembre de 2015 (estoy en el público de este video y esta conferencia es donde yo estaba conectada con TEAM por la primera vez!)

Como una persona bilingüe y como alguien que ha estudiado el español por muchos años, siempre es un milagro ver como Dios puede transcender la cultura y los idiomas. Me encanto como yo puedo alabar a Dios en mis dos idiomas y me parece que siempre hay algo especial cuando puedo cambiar fácilmente entre mi lenguaje de corazón y mi otro idioma por lo cual Dios me ha dado una gran pasión 



"Que mi vida sea para ti como un perfumé a tus pies"

Thankfulness

By -
So apparently I am not so great at consistently updating my blog on a regular basis. It has been quite some time since I have written anything considering that it is now the day after Thanksgiving and the last time I posted was this summer while I was in Taiwan. This semester has been mostly busy and chaotic, and I am glad that I have finally found the time to put some of my thoughts into words.  _______________________________________________________________ In light of it being Thanksgiving break, I have decided to write a "thankful post" similar to those currently trending on social media (I apologize for the cliché-ness). God has blessed me abundantly in the past few months and I don't know if I can fully express my gratitude in words, but I will try my best.  To start with, I am thankful that I have the opportunity to be studying at Northwestern College. I am constantly challenged to grow in my relationship with Christ and with others. I am challenged to discu

Some Thoughts on Bilingual Education

By -

For those of you who don't know, I am currently working as a substitute bilingual interventionist in a K-4 dual language program at a local elementary school. Now, you're probably wondering "what is a bilingual interventionist and what do they do?" The answer to this question is a bit complicated but I will try my best to give a good explanation.  As a bilingual interventionist I mainly work with small groups of students and provide extra reading intervention/assistance in Spanish. My students spend half of the day learning in English and the other half learning in Spanish. During the Spanish half of the day, I go into each classroom for about a half hour to work with groups of students and help them develop reading strategies, comprehension skills, and phonetic awareness.  Now that I've briefly explained my role, I'm going to move on and share a few things that I have learned and observed about bilingual education over the past few weeks.

Finding Rest in Him

By -
I can't believe that I am almost done with my freshman year of college. Just one more week of classes and a week of finals and then I will be going home for the summer. God has done so many amazing things in my life this year and He has taught me so much about who He is, who I am, and how He will use me to do his redeeming work in the world. I will write about these things at a later time after I have had a chance to reflect and organize my thoughts.  Right now I am extremely busy writing papers, working on projects, and studying for finals. There are moments where I get so stressed that all I want to do is anything but schoolwork. Thankfully, I don't have to carry all of this stress and worry by myself, for I have a Savior who takes away my burdens. I was reminded last night at P+W (Praise and Worship) that it is during these times when I need to turn to God and find peace and comfort in Him and his Word.  Matthew 11:28-30 says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and bu
