Overdue Update

I have not posted in awhile, but I have so much going on, so I thought I would attempt to remember all of it now. First, PRAISE THE LORD I got a job. Wendy's.. I have not started yet, but soon.

Well I have been to applefest... an annual festival type thing in Franklin that takes hours to walk through and is very crowded... I went two separate days though, and it was crazy both. But to start with the first day... Mr. and Mrs. Wilsom took Dani and I, and we got LOTS of books. I spent two dollars on seven books.... and one of the dollars was a donation that I gave. They were all what I call "good" books (a certain college student of the male gender asked me if they were romance novels...no they were not, no worries, I don't read that junk.. no offense if you do! Anyway, the next day I got 6 or 7 more for FREE! Wow How. I was loving it... still all good books, of course. One book that I am very excited about is one by John R. Rice, I believe it is entitled "We Can Have Revival Now", something among those lines. The second day though Dani, Susan and I went with Jenn. That was fun, but we got a flat tire on the way back! Oops! We made it to the school safely though, so all was well.

One of the bus kids on my route got saved last Sunday... very exciting, very sweet girl who LOVES to talk.. trust me! But that was very exciting. We are starting the fall push this Sunday (tomorrow) and on one Sunday I am coming to church and junior church was Florence Nightingale... OH MY!!!!! I have to find an outfit that is Florence Nightingaleish and talk to the whole church as Florence Nightingale plus all the bus kids who are in junior church. But I'm excited. Just nervous about the costume part of it.

This week was a long, and tiresome one. Things are looking better but something went wrong everyday... no joke! I am reading tthrough Job in my devotions and the other day I was just finding verse after verse that encouraged me so I ended up reading 5 chapters. Well one verse that I literally laughed at when I read, because it made me think of me was, Job 3:19 "He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.". It instantly made me think of my bad week and how Sunday was coming, and Sunday's are never bad days.... bus kids, church, junior church, primary church, etc, etc, etc. Sunday's are always just full of encouragement, no matter how hard the devil tries to destroy my spirit on Sunday's I am just always happy and ready for a new week. It is hard sometimes being away from home because I do not tell anyone here what is wrong when something is wrong, and I also don't wanna call anyone back home and gripe to them, so I just let it sink in, and hope that all my troubles just kind of go away. Which they have... so no worries. Plus, another encouragement to me was the fact that I received an email from Pastor Royalty, now the internet here has not been working for about a week, and alittle over a week ago I emailed Pastor telling him of my new job. I was not able to check my email all week but Thursday night when I checked it (in the middle of my horribly bad week) there was a email from Pastor Royalty. It was actually sent on the previous Saturday so had the internet been up and running and if I had checked it earlier than that, then it would not have been there to cheer me up when I was a little down.

Classes have been going good. I got an 88 on my first Pastor Setser quiz, which is HORRIBLE!!!! and I was very unhappy with myself.. but will do better. The quizes in Pastor Schwartz's class have been a little challenging and I need to do better on them, but am trusting that I will!

Tomorrow for the first Sunday of fall push we are having carnival day. Dani and I were put in charge of one game, so I went and got the stuff for the game and the candy today. I am looking forward to it, and the amount of kids that we will have on the bus!!!!! =]

I guess that is all for now... oh I have devotions this Monday night with the dorm girls plus Mrs. Knight and Mrs. Propst.. I am, surprisingly, not nervous yet, but probably will be once Monday comes around. We will see!!!!
