| it's never a good thing to not be able to sleep on a saturday night...i really need to go to sleep. but for some reason i have been lying in my bed for over an hour now, and i can't seem to fall asleep. and i have to teach sunday school in the morning.
so, since i can't seem to sleep, i thought i would post the blog i promised some very dear friends quite a few weeks ago...here's the update:
my summer has been quite busy. in fact, i was just telling someone yesterday that i feel like i have been living out of a suitcase all summer. after being home for my grandmother's funeral, i came back to texas and was thrown full swing into camp. we had camp this year at the beginning of june instead of the end of july, which was difficult during the month of may, but now i am thankful for it. camp went really well this year. it was at the university of north texas in denton, and we had over 40 kids make decisions, and 11 of those kids we baptized at camp.
after camp, we turned around a week later and left for our mission trip to san francisco. i loved san francisco!! it is such a beautiful place, and i got to see holly while i was there. i led a group of 13 students from fbce, and we did vbs for a local church and helped a new church plant pass out postcards promoting their church. the students also did performances around the city. they were able to share with over 400 people and 30 of those people made first time decisions to follow Christ!! and.....we got to go to alcatraz!!!!!
my kiddos being silly
am i the only one who loves BIG?
here they are performing in union square
they tried to lock me up at alcatraz, but no cell could hold me
and what would be a proper tale of san francisco, without a picture of the golden gate bridge...
after i got back from san francisco, i had about a week to recover before i left for jenny's wedding.
holly flew in to dfw and we drove to columbia. it was one of the
longest drives of my life (and mind you i drive 12 hours home to
alabama), but it was worth it.
i got to see a lot of my friends from
union that i hadn't seen in a long time, and i miss them very much. it
was definitely sad to say goodbye and come back to texas.
when i got back from jenny's wedding, i had about two weeks before jenna and i left for canada, eh. it was such an amazing trip. getting out of the country (even if it is just across the border) does me good. we stayed in toronto, which is such a beautiful city and we got to go to
niagra falls!!!!!!!
chinatown....
the beach with wicked cold water....
the cn tower....
and i found a mountie!!!!!
now, that my summer is almost over, i will be leaving once again in a week to visit my family in alabama. even though i was just home three months ago, it feels like it has been forever. plus, both of my brothers will be home, so i will get to hang out with them while i am home.
school starts back in less than a month, and even though i'm not looking forward to papers and tests, i do miss having a routine to follow. i always find myself saying this, but maybe this semester will be better than the one's before. maybe this will be my year.......or not. i don't know. but, what i do know is that this fall semester is going to be crazy busy. i have a full course load and right now, and i am looking for a second job. poverty just isn't treating me well. so, if you think to pray for me, pray that i will find another job (or that God would rain money down upon me...either one).
so i hope you have enjoyed this post. it has been long and eventful. but, just remember, you asked for it. and maybe it won't take me three months to post again.
goodnight. | | |
