hey

I have been thinking. Here are a few things I have been thinking about...

Death-> I am not good with dealing with death and I am not sure if it is that I am older and notice it more or if there are more people dying now a days. I never know what to say and I over think what I am going to say. When I grieve I like to take my time and I will eventually come to terms with and talk to someone. I am wondering how this will effect my ability to become a good children's minister.

My life-> These last two weeks have been a roller coaster. Last week we had to move my grandparents. They have lived there since my dad was a Sr. in high school. It was kind of sad and we are going back down there this weekend to get the rest of the stuff. It will be sad but the good thing is that my other grandma lives down there. This week I found out that I got an interview with the Laity Lodge Youth Camp. It is a summer camp for kids. It is in south Texas and if I get the job it would be really cool because I will be able to go visit my grandma on the weekends and I will get to spend my summer swimming in the frio and be in the beautiful hill country and then when I get home I will be going to Oxford England for a semester for study abroad. I am so excited. It will be a ton of fun. I think I will miss home but I will get to see what it is like to be away and when I come back I will be more dependent. Plus I get to see Big Ben and visit all kinds of other places over there like Paris.

Worry-> This is a word that keep coming up in my life. The verse Matthew 6:34 keeps coming up in my mind. "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." I don't know if it because I had to memorize the whole sermon on the mount or if it was because I struggle with worry. I worry about a lot of little things and then I get worked up about it then I get stressed out so I think that I am going to try to work on not worrying this year and see how it goes. So far I am off to a good start.

That was just some things on my mind. Pray for me this weekend and this next week. My interview is on Wed the 17th and school starts on the 16th.

Thanks,
Heather
