| 2 Corinthians 5:20As though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. | | |
| new jobokay nobody posted a comment on my last entry. i feel unloved. what, do i have to talk about greys anatomy or something to get people excited. this week has premiere episodes for veronica mars and gilmore girls! there. i bought new running shoes yesterday. went shopping with my mom. i also bought really cute tiny colanders. not sure what i can use them for. the tag said, for rinsing small fruits. when would i just want to rinse one or two strawberries at a time? not sure. but my three nesting colanders were too shiny and stainless to pass up. i'm liking my new job. i'm only in this office for three weeks. i bought a stainless steel clock with a red and white face from target. now i know what time it is. ok. it's time to go to quiktrip to get a diet pepsi with cola slush on top. a good snack to end my lunch hour. i ate yogurt and homemade bread with peanut butter. bye now. | | |
| okay, updates...
i had a lovely time in merced, california visiting my grandma dorothy. i made a lap quilt. woohoo! we thought about making a jean quilt too, but maybe next time.
and audrey and ben came up to visit. we ate sushi and had starbucks and then sat in the downtown square (merced is about the size of owasso, but compressed and a bit more cosmopolitan) and were suprised to see a group of teenage guys roll out a carpet, plug in a boombox and a light, and start breakdancing. it was amazing. then we went back to my grandma's and played cards for several hours. the next morning we drove to san francisco. neither ben nor audrey had been before. we played like tourists and consulted our overly-descriptive guidebook while hiking from fisherman's wharf and pier 39 to chinatown and back. we ate like it was the tulsa state fair. we shared all our meals so as to try everything. fish and chips, crab cakes, and crab for lunch. caramel and chocolate and nut apples for snack. then some taffy for another snack. then some candy cigarettes. then for dinner we ate potstickers and eggplant in plum sauce and lemon chicken in chinatown.
we took lots of pictures. i had some help from my favorite poparazzi. i put some of the photos on my myspace for you guys to see.
okay p.s. i probably have a job now. it's mine if i want it. i'll go in tomorrow to observe and if i think i can do it (i do) i'll take the job as intake counselor at the juvenile bureau. woohoo to health benefits!
i still don't know what i want to be when i grow up, but this will be good experience... | | |
| OK Go videos :)I found the weirdest site. http://www.okgo.net/video.asp it's this band called Ok Go. their videos are amazing. i watched the Million Ways to Be Cool backyard dance and the Ping Pong Instructional video. :)
You will not be sorry!

| job interview 2so here's the serious half of my post. the job interview is for a juvenile probation counselor position. there are two open. i want one of them. the job is very similar to what i did before with juvenile drug court. i should be okay at it. i enjoy working with messed up kids and their families. i would like health care.
i'm thinking about missions for the future. mbmsi has a 3 year internship/mentorship thing called journada that is for those who are thinking missions long-term. it could be the first part of a 10 year church plant somewhere.
there's a possible church plant in sao paulo, brasil. i've always wanted to work with orphans and street kids.
there's a cool organization called children with hope ministries. (google it). they do training for people who want to work with high risk children. i may want to go to their 6 week training thing next september in thailand. anyway, those are my thoughts. it's exciting and scary to think of leaving all my family and friends here. i want to do what God wants. i want an adventure. i want comfort. i want want want. blah.
sam dick with mbmsi in canada prayed that i would hear God's voice more clearly each day. Skip B. at church told me to pray for God to increase the desires of my heart. because God puts the dreams into our hearts for a reason. :)
okay people, give me love and prayers and encouragement. i'm going to go visit my grandmother the last week in august. i'll have good away time and alone time to pray and think.
love you all.
especially, you two. :) | | |
