last day

today is my last day here at the Health Clinic.


funny how I haven't seen my supervisor since I gave my two weeks. and I got an email this morning in response to one I sent her, it said she wouldn't be able to make it over here to pick up the key from me so I'm just supposed to leave it with the receptionist. that's a little crazy don't ya think?


good thing I'm leaving early to go make cookies with Anna, then movie night at Shawns, then wakin up super early to get Matt from Union Station. it should be a good weekend.


and I talked with the lady who I'll be working for next and she's so excited and it looks like for starters I'll be working with preschoolers. how perfect is that? she said that I'm coming in at the perfect time. God works in mysterious ways.


miss mean ... bring me cake and balloons. I think you're great.


alright this is it. I'm gonna go say goodbye ... then I'm outta here.


and last night i had a dream that i was this secret agent of sorts. my family knew about it. then i jumped off this ridiculously high snow drift and johnny was sitting at the bottom in a t-shirt playing guitar. where in the world do these things come from? i'm gonna go take a nap and try my luck at better dreams. have a wonderful weekend everyone!

change ... everybodies doin it

tomorrow's my last day here ... somehow I neglected to tell my coworkers ... I'm gonna do that as soon as I'm done typing this ... weird how I haven't heard from my supervisor in two weeks ...


a lot of people that I know are going through, or are about to go through, some kind of life altering change. seasons like this get me really pumped and excited to see what God can do.


last night some of my roommates got to laughing so hard we couldn't stop. it was the stomach hurting kind of laugh. then we played the "ha-ha" game. five of us played ... the other two were annoyed with us.


i'll be back in ohio in a week.

just gimme one

Last night I dreamt that I was fighting in a war. It wasn't overseas, it was here in America. And this guy was being a real jerk.

displaced

Proverbs 28:27
"He who gives to the poor will lack nothing,
but he who closes his eyes to them receives many curses."


Today I started reading Being White by Doug Schaupp and Paula Harris. So far so good. There's a huge emphasis on displacement. Choosing to place yourself outside of your comfort zone in order to befriend those of other ethnicities. It does a good job of looking at how we're to live with different races through a scriptural worldview. I'm a fan of this book so far.


Last night all of us leaders at J.A.M. got roped together and the kids threw water balloons at us. What a way to end the year.

dreamful sleep

last night i had some disturbing dreams. in the future i will be avoiding people with bow and arrows, non-smokers, mansions, car's whose seats are covered in 6 in. of ice and family vacations.

do you have action?

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27


"Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." James 1:22


"What good is it my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such a faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, 'Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,' but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." James 2:14-17


This is good, and challenging. And it's pretty self-explanatory, so read it and let it sink in. Way to go James.

life makes me so excited.
