Monday, a normal day... Tuesday, wake up at the crack at dawn, walk out to my car at 7:15 to discover that it had been egged. Headed to school still. After my forty minute drive to Wheatland to be with my 3rd graders I feel completely blessed to be there. God shows me that He is going to provide in the smallest ways. I was able to see the sunrise on my drive out there over the country land. :) Wednesday was full of work. I'm teaching 3 yr old children for a couple of hours in the mornings, then I've got class. After class its off to work at BASE then teach 2/3yr olds mission friends. Thursday is my day full of classes and meetings. By the time everything was said and done, I was completely exhausted, emotionally and physically. 8am-11pm jammed packed is tiring!!! Friday was most definately dedicated to sleep until it was time for work. I'm pretty sure that I slept until noon. Work was the craziest yet most fun day ever! BASE took 80 children swimming here at SBU. After work I was able to have dinner with my roommate and then Nicki, Amanda, and I headed down to Springfield to the Mudhouse for some coffee. Most tasty! Many laughs were shared when attempting to play a game of Scrabble. Amanda and I were seperate and playing against Nicki and David, the African man we met down there. Then we went star gazing. Oh how amazing God is!!! We first went and laid in the middle of the golf course, but headed back to pick up some more people and ended up going out to the middle of nowhere to this wooden bridge. It's a little creepy out there, but with all of us it was fun. I definately got back to the dorm around 3:30 or so. Saturday was probably the highlight of my week :) Martin came down to visit. I gave him a little tour of campus and Bolivar when he first got here. Then we went down to Springfield. Watched Click (good movie), had a good dinner at Logan's Roadhouse, walked around the mall, and I got my butt kicked in a game of air hockey. Back to Bolivar we went for coffee and checkers at the Daily Grind and a movie in the lobby. Overall I was very suprised he actually showed up, but I am so happy that he did. :) Sunday was the Lord's day. I went to church, had lunch, had my Sunday afternoon nap :))))) and spent time with Amanda. Oh yea, and I got to relax while listening to the rain. That brings me to today. Today has been a good day. I had a mission trip meeting for missions fest. I pretty much get to run the Swaziland table tomorow night before the Jason Morant concert. I'm excited. Please pray for me as things can become very overwhelming during the week. Also, please pray for the 11 in my group (8 girls, 3 guys) as we prepare for our trip to Swaziland in January. |
