Last Week

It's been a little over a week since the last time I posted. I can't believe I'm saying this, but this is my last week here in Port Colborne! My parents are coming up this Friday and we'll spend a day in Niagara and then head back home with all my stuff. It doesn't seem real to me that I'm leaving; it still seems like next Monday I'll get up and go back to work as usual.

That being said, I'm excited that instead of going to work next Monday I'll get to see Paul =P

Paul is doing well, he's trying to lay low as much as his sanity will let him but he's been able to get back to work so that he can continue paying off his car. Praise the Lord for remote jobs! Health Insurance is still a little iffy last I heard, so please be praying that it will get sorted out so he can get another doctor's appointment.

I've been very encouraged the past week. Two of my courses in school last year focused on usability and how to determine if what you're building is actually worth using. So I've been putting some of that knowledge to work and developed a usability test for people to try out before we make the site go live. If you want something productive to do, need a break from doing other productive things, or just love me enough to spend 10-20 minutes of your time poking around a website, feel free to fill out this survey monkey :)

Anyway, the encouraging thing about this whole usability testing business is that it looks like the website we've built is usable! Granted, we can't please everybody, but it looks like the majority of people are able to navigate and get the information they need while it looking pretty at the same time :) (Which is my main goal in life, make functional things that happen to be pretty).

Today is Tuesday which means we had a devotional this morning. Raymond, our associate director, encouraged us today to pray for something big. Furthermore, he decided that instead of praying in our own little worlds, we should lay hands on EVERYONE in the room present and pray for something big. What an experience. It'll be a challenge to continue praying like I do here, but I want to embrace it. So, go pray for something big!
