In thinking about.....

I'm just a girl, searching for where God wants me next, but living constanly in the present, reflecting on the past enough to see hope for the future.

Success and Forgiveness

Today has been successful, i got the links back updated and then i didn't get any planning done, but oh well, but i also managed to order my ink for my classroom--i am a real teacher.
This weekend i learned about forgiveness in the biggest way.
Two important quotes:
"Grace is only free for the person reciving it"--pastor Joel
"I just need to do this, i need to applogize"--my college roomate

First lets start with the activties of this weekend:
Friday night: randomer calls me from singles church asking me to come play games, calls me during rush hour, we talk for a 1/2 an hr. This is wierd to me.
Sat. day: i rondevue with a sydney program friend and we go shopping, i buy useless clothes that have no school ability, but they are fun!
Sat. Night: i go to randomers from the singles church and play settlers and a car racing game on nitentdo with a few other people--one girl from Dordt, i know i know her but i don't know how.
I win at settlers, basicly its good, i get home LATE!
Sunday morning: I go to a good ole CRC church because last week i went to a baptisit church, i missed the CRC, but i loved the excitetment in the baptist church!:)
I go to a potluck and run into a college roomate (more to come on this later)
Sunday afternoon: i walk in the park, have a 1/2 hr conversation about cameras with a random lady.
Sunday night: back at the singles church, talk to the Dordt girl, she remembers--we went on a triple date togther one year! CRAZY! another guy asks me to play games on monday night---i decilne, maybe another time.
Monday: No school, good. I sleep in, try shopping again, eat soup, go to Catherine and Timothys, for tea and calzones.
It was a good weekend!

Extrordinary adventures..

So I begin writting as i am surounded by stacks of sketchbooks and i have heaps of planning to do and ironicly i am going to a Denver nuggets basketball game after school today! What a crazy time. But this weekend was even crazier!
I think i might have a chance at having some friends in denver. I headed to Bible study on Sat. night. This was all good i was with Catherine and we thought we knew where we were going. but we got lots, so in an effort to turn around i crossed two and half lanes of traffic (to turn left and make a U turn). But a cop pulled me over as soon as i had turned around, asked me if i was in a hurry. I told him i was trying to go to bible study, but was lost, so he gave me a warning and directions, good thing too, becuase i have an iowa license.
Then the next day i wander into what i thought was going to be a white presbeterian church in a town near by. But lo and behold it was really a black, southren baptist church! that was so strange, i was definitaly the minority and that was wierd. But the music was amazing and the preaching was on fire (what do you expect). So good good, then i went to another church recommended to me by the former art teacher and it was awsoem! it was kinda like gift, expet smaller and mostly single people between the ages of 25-30. this was good, but i felt young there, i might have been one of the youngest people there. But it was fun and i met a few people, i hope to meet a greater amount of people next week and maybe find some people i can really connect with. But i will still take any takers who want to move to Denver! I fear i might be roomateless if i stay here another year.
Anwayz, that was the crazy weekend, i contiune to wear out my voice daily with my seventh graders, i try to get excited about stuff with them and that makes my voice tired. I am praying for health and hoping for a relaxing four day weekend. I wanted to go home, but to expenseive! bummer!
i hope you all are doing well!
