I think bloggers are starting to slack off. A lot of us have had our blogs for a year or more and with school, it's hard to update regularly. So everyone, just forgive the bloggers for their lack of committment right now! I still visit people's blogs and if they don't update...I move on! So should you...rembering to come back, of course! :-) Fall Ministry I loved FMP soo much! It was a blast! Not only did I get to know a lot of people better and have a ton of fun on the car ride and working there, I also got to meet Stevie Soma. But I was soo incredibly exhausted this morning! My nap this afternoon helped immensely! Ahh I love sleep!!! Ok well anyways...this is what I did: We went to an older lady in the church's house and first we raked and bagged her leaves. Then I picked up a bunch of trash behind her house (a racoon or something must've gotten in it...it was pretty nas.ty!) After that the lady gave us a snack (it was like a 2nd breakfast! I'm sure I gained a ton while I was there! ;-)) then the guys did some work inside on bathrooms, closets, and a bunch of other stuff, while we gi.rls stayed outside and slaved away on rebuilding some brick steps. I now officially ha.te bricks!! >:-( And after that...Alyssa Magnesun (sp??) and I tried to find something to do, but couldn't find anything that people needed more help on and neither could the s! So, one lady took us to the Southfield church where we raked leaves(until we got the leaf blower which was a total life saver, even if it did ki.ll your arm!) and weeded in the rain while the guys who were there bagged this huge pile of sticks and leaves. Oh and Ellen and I got to wash tables and clean highchairs! That. Was. Gross. We went back to the house and picked up a few more people. Then we all (finally the guys helped us after I practically yelled at them to..I was really surprised that they listened, too!) washed nursery toys in the kitchen! And Ellie and I "cleaned the floor" by having a little water fight. But hey, we mopped it up so it was all good. :-D On the car ride, we talked, did mad libs, and sang a bunch of Psalms. And Ellie, Ellen, and I all died our eyebrows blue! (some people were kinda ticked at us for that...) We did a ton of other stuff, but it would take way too long to tell you everything...soo I guess I'll leave you with this. Oh and LOOK AT THE PICTURES HERE!!! The Joys Of Schoolwork We just started a new Economics/Government class with Mr. Elder as our teacher on Wednesday. It is at our house and the people in it are, Allen, Zachary, Maria and I , Mary and Luke Hovee, and Mary, Joe, and Rebekah Ray. The class was pretty interesting and I think it will be fun to be in a class with those people. We are starting our World Views class (THE BOOKS FINALLY CAME!!!) this week and our first class is next Tuesday. So I'll have a nice little line up of classes Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Please pray for me because all of this is going to be pretty hard to accomplish alltogether. But as my mom says...welcome to highschool! Verse of the Day: "Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God." ~1 Corinthians 10:31~ Song of the Day: "Wittnessmark" ~Scott Porter~ I want you all to know that I think this is an amazing song written by a guy I know! We stayed at the Porter's house in Michigan. At my request, he played and sang some songs for us. Ellie and I only knew "I'm better than this, I'm better than this, I know I know...etc" and we would sing it over and over on the way home. We got yelled at and hit by many people on our trip! Oh, ok ok Allen gave it to me when I asked...but he took his nice time before giving me the address to it! I hope you're listening to this, Ellie!!! :-) Quote of the Day: "You meet people who forget you. You forget people you meet. But sometimes you meet those people you can't forget. Those are your friends." ~Anonymous~ Charity | 9:01 am Comments-[ comments.] |
