oh my. i am cold.
I’m baaaaack. I am doing alot of volunteering at the youth center and i am LOVIN’ it. Actually, i spent most of my time cleaning the closet yesterday…
Guess what. Mr.James (my boss) said that since i only have a couple weeks, he really wants me to focus on one-on-one counseling with the girls. is the grass green? i am in heaven.
Mareeka is expecting a baby this month. that is my third girl. i was taking some kids home and this little girl (must be 7) sat in the front seat. about two blocks down the street i hear a little jingle sound…two more blocks and i hear a tic-tac sound…when we got to her house a minute later she’d almost emptied my spare change and had all my tic-tacs in her pocket. before she opened the door i just said “empty it” and she slowly did–not a bit of shame on her face. my goodness! i started to search everyone’s pockets–but they have so many! jeans, shirts, sweaters, coats…i finally gave up and just made them each jump and down while i tried to listen for a jingle. that is just sad.
Wrianna and i were talking when she suddenly said “Remember that Bible study where you told us about your heart?” it must have been two and a half years ago when i shared with the girls one night about how when i really got serious with the Lord i realized how important it was to give Him my heart–so i drew two hearts–one with the names of all the guys i’d given my heart to over the years and then one with “God” written in it. I then wrote a letter to God asking Him to take back my heart and make it all His. i didn’t even remember sharing that. but today, Wrianna sat down and did the same thing. talk about a seed being planted and then suddenly seeing it grow. wow.
i know why God wanted Col.3:15 for my verse. i am really struggling with letting God’s peace rule my heart. i feel so much pressure (from myself) to get so much done each day. The time is passing so quickly. But God’s good and my fingers are frozzzzzzen…so g’night!

Sounds like you are keeping busy! Sounds like you had a blast on the cruise and going to Disney. Too bad it wasn’t Disney World, then you could have visited moi.
