July 14, 2008 - Gather my insuffiecencies and place them in Your hand, place them in Your hand...
What's up? Today we had Food Bowl practice here then went to town to drop HannahElizabeth off to stay a few days with Cass and then we went grocery shopping. Not very exciting. Oh, Saturday we went shopping and I got a pair of jeans on clearance for $2.35 but they were 0 long, which means, WAY too long, so I cut 'em and hemmed 'em to be capris! I also got a pair of black dress pants (same price) but they were too long too and so I hemmed them as well.
Oh guess what!!! Ok, so this morning I was listening to Air1 and Coppelia was on and was talking about how cool the Air1 verse of the day is. It's Jeremiah 29:12-13. Well that was like super-cool, cuz first of all, Jeremiah 29:11 has always been a special verse to me (" For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."). What a neat promise and reminder that God already knows what will happen. And then a few weeks ago I was asking God about something and He brought me to verse thirteen (" You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.") and I was just like, wow. "With ALL your heart". He also showed me several other verses that night that said very similar things. So that was so cool. And then just last night in youth class we were talking about prayer and Luke asked us to each look up a Scripture about prayer, and I came up with Jeremiah 29:12 ("Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you "). I thought it was really cool, cuz God's promising to hear us and answer us. So, I called in to Air1 and got to talk to Coppelia and I told her all that and she asked my name and location and then played what I'd said on air!!! It was sooo cool. I'm famous now!! lol I recorded it on my cell phone so that's awesome!!
Anyway, I'd better go.
July 8, 2008 - For God to focus on anything but Himself would be idolatry.
We have kids day camp at church this week, so that's cool. Yesterday we took the kids bowling and today we took them to the park to play mini golf. Pretty fun. More on that and pics later. So, I've been busy the past two days... I have a couple 5th and 6th grade girls for small group time, they're easy and so smart. But I have a 7yo and 5yo girls whom I've sorta adopted responsibilty for... they're a ton of fun but a lot to keep up with. ;) I love being around kids, though... I learn so much from them. And they always say the cutest things. Yesterday the 5yo wrote down a "question" to put in the "I wonder...." bag. I looked at it and saw only a few letters so I asked her what the question was, what it said. "I don't know!" she replied. "I can't read!" lol
Ok here's a little video thing I made with clips of fireworks I filmed with my phone Friday. So nothing special or high quality but it was fun. The last clips are the best so persevere. ;P
