Jun. 16, 2008 - Here in Missouri
So far, I've been in Missouri for a little over 48 hours-it feels like I have been here forever. Life has been humming along well, but time goes much slower here than it does at home. Perhaps it the knowledge that I have six weeks here-it which feels like an eternity, and perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I don't have any obligations or schedules to meet here.
My flights went well-no complications, and actually, I got in four hours early because the airlines chopped out a second connection flight in the middle. It was wonderful. Saturday was a very lazy day-a day of lying around and catching up. Chelsea and I went down to the park and played tennis in the blazing 90 degree heat, and then we came home and ran through the sprinkler with Sonora like a bunch of little girls! It was a lot of fun.
Sunday was good-church and then we went to this Messianic Jewish teaching about Pentacost. It was pretty cool. Then we picked up Chelsea and Jonny from work and came home and rested a bit. Then we had Father's Day dinner-steak on the girl, corn on the cob, red potatoes with mint, and bread...and then apple pie for dessert. We did the gifts and cards for Mr. Stearns, and then I watched an hour of Tweety and Selvester Cartoons with Sonora (which she is conveniently watching again right now...) and then me and Chelsea did some serious talking. (got to love it), and then we watched the last two minutes of the basketball game between the Lakers and Celtics which the Lakers won, meaning the games aren't over yet.
Last night, we were supposed to get really bad weather here, like tornado warnings and horrible thunderstorms and baseball sized hail. The weather radio was going off a lot, and the tvs kept cutting out of normal programming for the weather broadcast. It was supposed to hit here between midnight and four in the morning, like continously. So, I prepared myself for a long night up, maybe even being called into the living room with the family if there was a tornado warning. But, there was nothing. That's right-NADA-not a hint of anything. No rain, no wind, no thunder, no lightning, nothing.... what a let down! =)
Today, me and Chelsea went to a basket weaving class, which was a lot of fun. It was a small group, just six of us, and it was so sweet. We actually made a very large basket! I was thrilled! The lady who hosted it, Cindy, was the sweetest thing. I hope to go visit her again in these six weeks.
If you are a reader, I need you to pray for me for some unmentionable prayer requests... just that my heart would be open to hearing what the Lord has to speak. Also, that I would be totally willing to accept whatever He has to speak...
Hope all is well! leave comments and email me!!! =)

Hello Cati! It's been shamefully long since I commented, but I've tried to keep up with all your posts--forgive my absence! Your website looks just wonderful. Are you doing all the design yourself? I'm quite impressed! Very good job.
I'll be praying for you,
~Beth
