Hello Friends!Last months blog was more serious, this one is probably going to be a little more fun than that! Life has been pretty good lately. Oh sure, it has its challenges, but all in all it's been pretty great. Here are some of the highlights...
A couple of weeks ago we closed the office down and took a staff development day. We went to the Science Museum of Minnesota and saw the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit. That was pretty amazing! Part of me has wanted to be an archaeologist (ah yes, there are many things I have wanted to do in life!) so it was really fun to see so many artifacts from from a place that has always fascinated me. The Dead Sea Scrolls were AMAZING! It was so exciting to be able to see them. Some were just little scraps it seemed like, but others were bigger and looked almost as if they had been written yesterday. It was a great day with people I love. I am so blessed to be working where I am with some wonderful people!
My roommates and I were able to go and visit our former pastor and his wife at Big Sandy Camp last week and that was a blast! We had a great time with Tom and Lois and even though it was a short trip, it was much needed. I even milked a goat, my mommy was so proud of me (she used to raise goats before I came along and was an "unpredictable" baby)!
This month we also got a sofa, TV stand, curtains and another bookshelf! Our apartment is coming along quite nicely. I love my roommates and we haven't beat each other up yet (if you don't count the batteries that fell on my head one night)! It is great to live so close to work and to be on my own again.
Saturday I celebrated my Golden Birthday. I have been looking forward to this day for 29 years and it finally came! On Thursday my parents were quite sneaky...they filled my office with 29 ginormous golden balloons when I was at staff lunch. When we came back I could hardly get in my office! They even brought a cake - a happy little golden piggy and cheery golden sunflowers. It was a very fun surprise!
So it's been a good month. There were some discouraging days in there where I did not feel well at all and had to miss out on something that I had really been looking forward to. But God always pulls me through and I really am content and happy where I am and with what I'm doing. If He decides to heal me and move me along someday I will be happy to go, but for now I really am happy to stay. That's a big deal for me and I praise the Lord that He has brought me to this point in my journey with Him.
I pray you have all had a wonderful Memorial Day remembering those who have served and currently serve our country and remembering those loved ones that are no longer with us. Today I am especially remembering my grandpa and my aunt. They are loved and missed very much.
