My life is about to get crazy…and I need to plan ahead. I leave for Costa Rica on June 8. I will be gone until the 14th, only to leave again on June 17th. I will be in the middle east for 3 entire weeks. I am so excited. However, I have soo much to do before I leave. Ten more days until the madness begins.
Hooray for summer.
My heart smiles a little every time I see an old person. When I see someone with white hair, a little bent over, and a lot of wrinkles on their face I automatically think…that person is good.
I know that this thought is idealistic and most likely untrue about all older persons…I’ve encountered the crotchety old person, who doesn’t smile. But somehow I have rationalized it...
Dates and times overwhelm me. I have to go pick up a student, buy flowers, stop at a grocery store, and be to the house on time. To pick a time to leave…way overwhelms me. These small details along with the entire weeks details…make my brain overwhelmed.

I got the blood work back…and I don’t have mono. I am free and clear of the nasty virus. I am so excited because it means these next few months are going to be able to be lived without constant head aches and sleepy feelings. All that I have to do is take some icky iron supplements. horray.
However…i am making this one...

Hello Everyone. As many of you know…I am coming upon the completion of my first year working with the high schoolers at Kensington Community Church. I have found this year to be one of the most exhausting…but satisfying years of my life. I feel as though I have grown in practical capacity to do work for God’s kingdom. Now for the exciting news…I get to finish off my...

I have been sick for the past two days..in extremely weird ways. I couldn’t sleep the night before (over medicating myself) and the few hours I did sleep where filled with creepy dreams. Tuesday I was achy and wanted to wear nothing constricting. I would be cold, then hot. I just couldn’t get comfortable. I’ve never had a migraine…but I think I had one. My head pounded....

So I work with High Schoolers. Last night we took all of the kids down to a large city church called 2nd Ebenezer. We had a huge party and service with students from both the city and the suburbs. The reason for their meeting was to promote a camp we are having with the kids this summer.
As I sat in the seats and watch three pastors from three very different churches pray for the same...
