AID

Well hello there reader, is that completely nerdy to adress the reader that way? Oh well, then I am indeed, a nerd. So, I went to "Third Floor" today and it went great. In this last while I have been finding myself amazed at God's way of preparing us to do things. For instance, today, I had to be a little bit administrative; you know, stern and all that. One of my club girls needed some of that. Now you see, I really dislike that part of leadership in children's ministry. Normally I would struggle with it and I still do struggle with it. However, today God helped me through being all stern and it didn't really even stress me out. How does this relate to God's preparation in my life? Well this past summer I worked as a councelor (in training) at a Bible camp and I was working with kids all summer. I was doing a similar thing to what I am doing with clubs. So, that is just a little, and I mean little, taste of how God prepares me. It really is a very amazing thing to know that He knows what He is doing and He knows how he is going to form me and and grow me into a strong woman after His own heart. It excites me. I would say more but I need sleep. Oh, you probly want to know what "Third Floor" is. Well, it is a program with inner-city kids that happens once a week. It is a Christian, Children's clubs program. I along with another young lass lead a club. Anyhow, gotta jet.

Alas...A New Corner For Me

Wow! I feel like I should tell you that I actually have never had a blog before. This is exciting! Welcome to my blog by the way. So today is a Sunday. I love Sundays. It seems that the busier I get in life, the more I need a break at the end of each week. Sunday is my break day. So....I had a two hour nap (no I am not a grandma...I just had a long week). It was lovely, except for my mom decided to wake me up by storming into my peacefull room and yelling, "Wake Up! Wake Up! There is a fire!!!!" Then she told me she was joking but by that point I was completely awake... with a speeding heart and almost out of bed. I suppose it was humorous.

So today...since I can never seem to find the time to do so, I decided to practise my musical skills. So I practiced piano, violin and accordian...I am teaching myself accordian. Isn't that exciting. The best part was that my little two-year-old brother loves all sorts of music so I let him try to play the violin. He is just a little nugget of a boy so it was quite big on him but none the less, he was still pretty good for never even holding one before. It was cute.

Lately I have been realizing that I love to create things, moreso I am realizing that I dont do it often enough. So I decided that I was going to attempt to start creating more stuff. So I bought some matirial for a skirt that I am planning to design and I have been collecting fabric and buttons. I love buttons. Hey, guess what I did yesterday. Well, I got some new buttons and I made two of them into a pair of earrings. It was exciting. The best part is, is that no one will ever have the same ones...thus making me unique. I am hoping to buy some more buttons of similar style and make some more because, unfortunately (did I spell that right?) the colour of the buttons is kind of interesting against my complexion but I will still wear them.

On the topic of sewing and making your own stuff, I am beginning to dislike big brandnames. I sometimes feel like everyone dresses the same. I guess if you think about it from one perspective, a group of people can wear clothes from the same store but still look different because they all have different items of clothing from that store, but it still seems a little silly. The more I think about it... the more I think that it is best to buy clothes just because you like them. Who cares what store they are from...if you like them, then buy them...you might be the only one who will wear something like it, but at least you are reflecting a peice of your character by what you are wearing.

Anyhow, I think that is all that I am going to ramble on about. So long. *
