Lord thank you for this day, you have made it…wisely.  You provide energy to go through our day, through food, music to worship you, through the sunshine to see that also brings us nourishment.  Thank you for my job that I can see so many different people that are trying to make a difference in the public education system.  I love the people that are in my life.  I yearn for your love , you are my life…

Today I met a nurse who too thought he was called to missions and God has shown him that he needed to be a missionary wherever he was…he told me he was scared of money and now he is on his way to being a millionaire.  Crazy! 

I realize that I may be a woman of few words.  Please pray for encouragement in my life.  So far it is showing up in peculiar ways, through friendships.  I always thought I would see it in this blog, through my family, through going on a mission trip, little do I know that God has other  plans.  He always does…

I got my shots tonight for Uganda…all covered through my basic health care at the County Hospital.  Living by faith and not sight has really been stretching for me.  In more ways than one, through relating, through Uganda, and through my job…I only ask that God will show himself to me and prove he is bigger than all of these things.

Today was cute.  I laughed at Trader Joe’s labels to myself, something about specific eggs that involved a rooster, saying, “We don’t actually know if hanky panky was involved” (I LOVE that place), had exactly 17 in cash and my groceries came out to $16.90, AND my car made it to Hayward and back.  This week was my first week after my long term assignment at Concord High finished.  I was at Highlands Elementary in a 2nd and 3rd grade resource class.  I am not a fan of resource as much as I am with severe handicapped because of Cappernaum Young Life.  Yet, I am open to new things and am learning, such as humility, bc I miss Keiko’s class.  I miss my routine and just getting to know the students from her class (I was there since the beginning of the year!).  I am still waiting to see about Uganda.  We shall see.  I learned that my parent’s house got broken into, and their computer and digital camera were stolen.  Can you say-opposition? The computer has a warranty though-whew!  The digital does not.   bum deal fer sure.  

Things I love lately:  worship music, dsl, my house, my parents, wool socks, down comforters, Trader Joe’s, hikes with Keiko and the dogs on Mt. Wanda, tye-dyed dishwashing gloves from the dollar tree,  Barlow Girl, Ellen and Allison from The West Wing competing against each other, Shelter and 7 Pillars peeps…
