Wishful thinking

So, I didn't have to get up early today, and I don't have to go to work, I have my lesson for tonight done, and I don't feel like folding clothes right now, I want to go read, but the book I started a small print, and it is tripping me out because it seems like it takes 20 minutes to read one page, then there is always my bible...I should...if I say I will go do that now, I prolly won't , I will prolly go lay on my sisters new waterbed bymyself for the first time, annd see if I like it, then I will eventually find the strength to read my bible. It shouldn't be like that, it should be me waking up early to do it, not trying to convince myself to read it, I want to but I am too lazy to actually put forth an effort when reading it to understand every word, and that is the point, to get something out of it. This is borring now, so I am moving on. Bye for now, I never know when I am going to leave another message, I don't even check my e-mail every day, muchless type something. You ask so much (Estaba Relajado!!)

I am so pathetic, I lowered myself to asking Bekah what time a TV show comes on, I think I will fold cloths while I watch that.(Little House on the Prarie)

Three four shut the door. This is how you have to look at a quilt, because if you don't then you will hyper-ventilate because you are so overwhelmed. One teeny tiny centemeter at a time. takes like a year. Quilting is harder than I thought. I spent an entire day with my mom which is cool, but as far as my quilt that I spent an entire day working on, I have all of no blocks done. I lie, I have one, but it's ugly so I am not using it. I think it will take forever to finish this stupid thing. Yhe only people who read this thing will prolly get sick of heearing me talk about my quilt, because it will prolly take like a month. You don't understand, See you have to cut the fabric within 1/8 ofan inch, really 1/16 otherwise your quilt WILL NOT come out right in any way. It is freakishly meticulous and repetitive. oh yeah did I mention that I am making a quilt for a queen sized bed, and no piece is larger than an inch snd s hslf by four and one hslf inches, so it takes forever. CRAZY!!

I was thinking about my friends today. Actually tonight. Well, I am glad God gave me the friends I have. He gave me a sister, and I think if ihe haden't then he would have had to do alot to teach me all the lessons He has tought through her. Then he gave me a friend that doesn't require much, just someone to call, or talk to for hours, and who will always pray with me when I need it. But then it has been a huge lesson on just how to be her friend because I am continually humbled in her presance (which is a good thing). That keeps me from taking our relationship for granted. Then there is the friend who always has something to say. And I like that at times, because I get rebuked and complimented in the same sentance sometimes. I have fun with her. Some would say that she brings out the worst in me, but if the people who say that would really think about it, the worst is brought out not by her but by me, and it shows in all my relationships. I am seeing in my own mind the things God is changing in me though. He has changed the way I think about people, and life in general. As of right now I have decided to slow down, and take things one day at a time, I am still very young so I can take my time growing up.

Cameras are so nifty.

This is B.J., if you look you can see his arms reflected in his glasses where he took a picture of himself.

Muy Cansada

This is Lauren and I at the airport sleeping durring the layover. Before people threw stuff at us, and before unnamed people( B.J.) let people throw stuff at us. If you look you can see the hand of the person messing with us. I don't know what he was doing, but it was "Not cool dude, Not cool."

The power of prayer!

The moment this woman went up to the front things broke, and I just started to cry. Now is the time to pray though, new barriers have been broken, and things are being stirred up. It will take much prayer to break the hold of the devil. I feel like praying, but my friend won't call me and pray with me, so I am going to end up praying by myself. Oh well, it is just as powerfull.


P.S.- She finally did call me.

Repuuuuuuuublica Dominicana!

This is a picture of Carolina. The first is her this year, and the second is her from the previous year. The rest of the pictures are from the children's conference, and other random shots. The pictures of the children are some of my favorite. They really get to your heart, their eyes say soooo much, you see all the pain and brokenness in one look.
I want to go back so very badly, it is as though a part of my heart lies in each of the people hands. My friends were talkiing an saying that it was like their heart was not in America but in the Dominican, I never told them but just before they had said it I was thinking that is was like a part of my heart was there, but a part was in America. I figured out that those who were called to be missionaries felt their whole heart was in the Dominicain, but for me, one who is not called to that, felt as though only a part of my heart is there. If that makes sence. Like I am supposed to be there, but only for a time. But, yeah, anyway.
