A Journey to Embark on

Blogging. It has recently occured to me that I think I would thoroughly enjoy the blogging experience. The opportunity to write down my thoughts, record my adventures, and let everyone else really get the first hand experience of entering the mind of Brittany Vick. I know it's probably been on everybody's bucket list, so with much pride and joy I would like to introduce to everyone my new blog: Vickeragua.

Vickeragua sounds so canny and peculiar, but so perfect for this stage of my life. I have always been known to be the girl who doesn't really live the "normal" life. Well, I take that back, I don't think anyone can live a normal life. But what I mean to convey is that I am a girl who desires adventure, challenges, and just a spice to this wonderful life that we have been given. My whole life has been filled with all of the above. Times of adventure, plenty of challenges, and just the right amount of spice to make me who I am today.

So to get back to the subject at hand, currently life has led me to live in Nicaragua, and I couldn't be more pleased. Granted, the form of life here in this 3rd world country of Central America is different and takes some getting used to, but the sacrifices are worth it when I get to fellowship with the Nicaraguans daily. I should also mention that in the midst of my many trips to Nica land, I have also entangled myself in a love story. His name is Douglas and he is wonderful. He is a native Nicaraguan, a man who loves Jesus with all that he is, and he can even cook too :0) (haha because we all know that cooking was not a gift God blessed me with).

ANYWhoo, life in Nicaragua. I wanted to use this blog as my opportunity to let my friends and family, and even stragglers that come along come and journey along with me. I do love Nicaragua and have a desire to reach out to this nation while I am here. It's sometimes draining both physically and spiritually, but with the strength of my God who is bigger and greater than all, anything is possible.

I will leave you with this thought. Yesterday was Sunday, my favorite day of the week because I just love going to Sunday Service. A lot of times I have a hard time really understanding the sermon, but the words of the songs that we sing always seem to touch my spirit. One of the first songs we sung was a song I've never sung before but it was simple: "Aleluyia." I quickly caught on to words and began to sing along. The words simply said: "Aleluyia, Aleluyia, Aleluyia a nuestro Dios," and that means Alelulyia to our God. I began to look around the church and it was a packed house. Ushers frantically carrying about positioning more and more chairs so that more and more people could come and worhsip. And when I saw the lips of men and women, children and adults, doing nothing but passionately singing those words over and over I was brought to tears. Our God is so big, and marvelous, and wonderful. What I saw last night was just a speck of how we will worship our Fahter face to face. But I am continually blessed to worship with my fellow Nicas.

Until next time, God Bless you.
