Well I thought I would write a blog about writing... Kind of.

As many of you may assume I'll be sharing "talks" with the youth in OH this summer, which of course means that I have to come up with said talks. I like to call them talks because... I don't really know why just accept it okay? okay. well this is not something that I have never done before, but it is something I had never really given much thought to as far as how it all comes together BUT! As I've been putting together this (if PR is reading this I'm a dead woman)series sort of on Philippians I've noticed a few things. First, I learn so much more when I'm doing my own study of something I actually care about. This brings me great joy considering how much I hate school. ...{there are these pictures hanging on the wall in my gramma office of me and all my cousins, everyone has these really nice.. fairly recent picture except for mine which I'm pretty certain is from the fourth grade... How is that okay? I'm a little creeped out by it}... Secondly I have learned that I use way to many details about some things and then skip other things. While sometimes this isn't really a problem sometimes it is. Next, I just realized this as I wrote that last sentence, I do that with everything which is probably why I have such a hard time keeping things in any kind of order. I'm am constantly having to go back and add details that I left out in my excitement to get to the next thing. Well I'm working on that at least in the aspect of putting together "talks." So don't get to excited. Fourth, I am much more confident in just about everything in life after receiving a B in Big G's teachings of Jesus class. Fifth, its really hard to pick one thing to focus on. If I even glance at something on another page or look for a passage reference I am completely distracted and think that it would be just as good of a topic. How in the world am I ever supposed to just pick one? Well, that answer is one that I only had to screw up once. There is a reason God puts things on your heart... just know that. I know that I had like 18 million other things I wanted to put here, but they were fleeting thoughts of several days, maybe I'll share a few more later.

In more general news... my gramma, who hates dogs, and myself, who also hates dogs, have managed to find ourselves dog sitting for the week? (yes the question mark is quite appropriate) We did a little shopping today just few basic things. I'm well on my way to finishing the Circle series by Ted Dekker. GREAT books I recommend them. I'm greatful (I realize this is wrong and refuse to change it) that God continues to remind me not to be anxious or worried. Last night I had a dream that Ogles and I were kidnapped because someone wanted to marry her, but realized he had no chance unless I was around. I have decided this will probably happen to us. Today there was something about Peru and its culture on the radio... I cried. Resident evil was on the tv, I had reached my crying quota for the day so I skipped it.

If our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?
