A Teacher's Aid!

I asked what I could do to help in Youth Group to get "plugged in" now that I am a 19 year old, and not a high schooler.  Our Youth Ministry Director said the Middle School class could use a female prescience as the teacher's wife was expecting and had two preschoolers, thus was unable to attend any longer.  Thus I am now a teacher's aid in Samuel's class!  Tonight was the first night and it was awesome.  I have already come up with a saying, and it stuck.  "Keep all 6 legs on the floor.  4 of your chair, two of your body."  They had to stop and think about that one.  LOL!

Best Bday EVER!!!

Tonight was just awesome!  I turned 19 today, and unlike my 18th birthday this one ROCKED!  I got the St. Francis bird feeder I wanted, a copy of the complete LOTR trilogy in one BOOK!  Not only that, Daddy took me to see LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring!  Mind you, he sleep through the first 1/3rd of the movie while they were in the Shire, but at least he came with me.  Hee,hee!  Arwen Evenstar and Strider were even better then in the book, and yes, their love story is in the back if anyone cares to go check it out.  Now I think I shall finish the rest of the 2 books so I know how it ends, as I have only ever read "Fellowship" in the past.  It is great to be 19!

Welcome 2002!

2002 has dawned crisp and cold, on a day delightfully partly cloudy...  I love grey dark cloudy days so much.  Always have.  And this year promises to be an exciting one. I am looking into PC Repair training, just not sure where yet.  I am also seeking to go to Bethany College of Missions after that... who knows what this joyful year will hold?

Winter!

Winter is here again with all her lady like charms!  The crisp, cool air, the dancing flakes of snow, the ice crystals forming on the windows... such a delight for the soul!  I await her chill arrival every year, and at last she has crossed my door step!  This winter child is content!

A Job!

I am working a seasonal job!  I am so excited.  It is my first job outside of baby/yard/dog setting or church...  Where?  I am working at Bergmann's Pumpkin Patch!  Other than nearly freezing my hands of cleaning small pumpkins in the cold water early mornings it's a blast.  Often, I get to take a hayride out to the fields, because it is faster to hitch a ride than to walk it. ~_^  It is just awesome!

 I am still nervous every plane that flies too low over head (Haysville is on air path Wichita's airport.), fearful that another attack will come... but it doesnt.  *La sigh!*  Forever changed.

Enter Matt

Matt, my dear friend and "little brother" from the New Orleans trip has entered into a more key place in my journey.  As of today we are e-mailing and calling each other alot.   He makes me laugh, and not many people can do that.  It is good to add a little "bro" to the clan, now if only we can grow larger...  a family dies if it does not grow and expand.

Note to self: Bev and Deirdrea are so much alike in what they talk about are interested in, and their vocabulary, do not call them back to back, or even on the same day!  For the life of me, I couldn't keep straight who I was talking to... and I have known Deirdrea since her birth, and Bev since only I was 15.  But it is a relief to have gals to talk with, too. It is such a blessing to have good friends like Matt, Deirdrea, and Bev in my life!

SHOCK!

Nothing like this has happened since Pearl Harbor was attacked December 7th, 1941.  I am sitting here still in utter and complete shock at what has happened.  Mom and I were on the phone with Plymouth Plantation making orders so that the items would be here in time for the Thanksgiving season, when the lady told us to turn on the tv, because a plane had flown in to one of the Twin Towers.  I watched the other plane fly in and the towers come down... not only that but the attack on the Pentagon... what are we coming to?

I have had my prayer candle lit as I have watched and prayed.  Everything is closed.  The stores, the banks, they are talking of closing the road through McConnell Air Force Base.  Our branch of the WTC (wheat and airplanes) here in Wichita is on high alert.  They fear the airline industry will be forever changed.  What does that mean for me just preparing to go into the work force, living in the "Air Capital of the World"?

"God help us all!  I am scared, I am nervous.  I am fearful for those lost and those who may be suffering.  Help us.   Protect us.  Don't let anything else harm us this way soon!  Amen."
