who said sunday was for rest?!
Yea, I kicked butt this afternoon on homework! Woohoo! Yea! Got 3 things done, picked up my check and some new curriculum type stuff for church. So...I have 40 minutes to do whatever I want and then it is over to the Sebree's to watch Alias. It's great b/c I can count on that time w/them everyweek!
So Sunday school this morning started like every other morning....I was dreading it. But after service, I was thoroughly enjoying the company of the kids and thinking up ways I could improve my own bible teaching stuff. Tomorrow is Student Ministries meeting so I went to Family Christian Stores (the new one only a mile from my house!) and go 2 neat books that I can share with Karen tomorrow. I just really want to do this well - I hate doing things only half-effort. I am beginning to see how much the youth group would grow if we all would just take a genuine interest in the kids and take initiative to get the learning and training we need for ministry - to be effective.
Got a $132 paycheck today - that's more like it! Ah, yes, but I don't work again until Friday. This is kinda frustrating, but it is good for this week because I need monday and wednesday off to do more crazy masses of homework!
The only other thing half interesting is that I signed up for a blog - another online journal...but I can't view the webpage. I've tried from pc's and mac's so no anti-mac/mac-hater comments please. :-) Oh yea, I took my mac to my aunt's for thanksgiving and my uncle was nearly drooling over the mac! HA! So there. (My bro has one too.)
Hm...I also keep daydreaming about going to Faith Eve Free church. It would sure simplify my life...I have a somewhat better attitude about Sycamore but, . . . . oh, I just need my term at Sycamore to be over so I can go work at Faith - but I am enjoying my work at Sycamore and I think I am doing an ok job too. How will I know when it is ok for me to leave? I love the kids and I've worked hard to develop good relationships with some of the kids...how do some people do it? How do some people just leave? I want to leave things open no matter where I go so that I can keep up some of the relationships. Yea. Ok, some Bible reading and then on over for Alias. (I almost bought the Message Remix Bible today. It is so much smaller than the regular message and it has verses. I really want to get it - I have been enjoying reading that thru for devotions lately...but I couldn't justify the money for another Bible...Maybe if I give one or 2 of mine away first.)
