| UpdateOk, here goes.... I'm now officially a Family Studies major with an emphasis in Deaf Culture. My ultimate goal: Children's Ministry. I've been running from this for quite some time now, but God does have His ways of getting my attention. Like having my degree for ASL becoming something that would only allow me to teach hearing high school students sign language. Could you see me in a room with high school students all day, 5 days a week, Please... So I should be a college graduate no later than 2010 now, then onto seminary. Not really a clue as to which one, but I'm thinking Denver could be really nice. I figure I may as well get out of state for a while before I'm tied down in any way. I'm back at the dorms. Still no license or car. Rats. It'll come though...it HAS to. Rooming with the same roomie too, going on our third year now. Sometimes pot-luck does work out, we are proof. Today is move in day so lots of confused little fish to be looking out for. lol Family stuff: My sister is married. My oldest niece starts Kindergarten on Monday! Crazy how fast time flys! Daddy's still doing well with his diabetes. Mom's doing pretty good too, except for a bug of some sort. I'm looking forward to a trip to Austin soon. Hopefully sooner than later...I miss the Blounts and Kris so much! And hopefully I'll get to see David again too! So yeah, I'm thinking that's about it. | | |
| Summer...So, I'm pakcing up my dorm room right now (hopefully for the last time...apt life here I come?). As I was taking down my pictures, tears streamed down my face. You see, the vast majority of my pictures were from the ranch last summer. I've known for months now that I'm not going back this summer, but it still doesn't make it any easier. I'm so confused right now about what the summer holds for me. As in, I can't find a job. I have a good resume, and love for children, yet work evades me. I don't understand what God is doing in this area of my life. I've been praying, and so have several others, yet nothing has worked out yet. Everyone keeps telling me that God has something special for me this summer, and I believe that is true, I just want Him to show me what that is. | | |
| Austin...Believe it or not, I actually LIKE going there! lol I must admit, if it weren't for the family I go to see, I wouldn't. I got to see a wonderful musical, meet really sweet grandparents (Mom-mom and Do-dad, and Father Bear and Honey (too cute!)), go hiking, eat at some really good places, get a bit spoiled, and spend time with some of my favorite people! I could handle doing this more often in life, if only time premitted. But it doesn't so I have to put on my big-girl pants and wait about 4 more months again. I hope it's only 4 this time! | | |
| MourningI got the news today that Peter Barr, a precious child that I had the joy of ministering to at Wind River Ranch passed away. Peter had a brain tumor, and his family's vacation at the ranch was given to them as a gift. The Barr family was one of my favorites all summer, little Peter worked his way into my heart almost instantly, and along with him, his sister Lindsey. These two acted like twins, they shared a remarkable bond that was noticeable as soon as they got out of the car. I got to spend a lot of time with Peter one on one. He was in the middle of chemo so he wasn't able to keep up with the other children, but not for lack of heart. We found many a comfortable rocks to sit on between place to place on the Ranch. And as we sat, and he caught his breath, this 7 year old child became a living example to me of what true childlike faith looks like. He also taught me that each day is truly a blessing, and we should take full advantage of the days we are given. There is so much more to be said about the way he impacted my heart, I just can't get it out right now. My heart breaks for his family. Not only because of thier loss, but because their blog on his behalf speaks of the comfort they take knowing that one day their family will be reunited again. This breaks my heart because they are a very strong Morman family. I don't doubt for one second that Peter is safe and sound in Jesus' arms, but I pray his death will somehow bring his family to truly know Jesus too. Please keep them in your prayers. | | |
