Well, it's a new month, with new things to do. I've just started some volunteering in Plano which is fun, and feels good to be more concerned about others then myself. I'm going to be involved with the Recovery ministry at my church this fall, which is really going to be exciting. I haven't given up the search for work, and I've been fortunate to find some help in narrowing things down in that regard with some vocational testing. Also, I caught wind from one of the pastor's at my church, about online theology courses for free. Normally, when something is free, it usually doesn't have much value these days. That's not the case with these classes. They're actually run by professors who are just as good as any seminary out there. The only downside is not having any direct social interaction, like there would be on a college campus. If you'd like to check it out click here;
http://christiancourses.com/ I recently signed up for the course entitled "Ten Reasons Why God Allows Sufferring". Very very good material. I haven't even dived into it yet, but I look forward to the challenge! Also, I am writing songs, and even working on an abstract drawing that will look something like a mural on my wall, when I'm done. This is just something fun to do to occupy my time. I wish I would've known how difficult it would be to use colored pencils on paper with a rough drywall underneath. Oh, well.
Today is my 31st birthday! According to one person, I can be called a p.o.t.a.t.o., which means "Person Over Thirty Acting Twenty One". I have a mystery present in the mail coming from my sister Evie, and later this evening I will get to celebrate with my Life Group. I'm excited because one girl who's doing the teaching can be incredibly goofy, and the other girl who's volunteered to do snacks, makes really good desserts. Although I had to get my own donuts and chocolate milk this morning, I am an adult, and I don't really need my parents to do things for me. In fact, it's seems like the tables have been turned. I wind up doing a lot for them these days! :)
Also, prayerfully considering going back to school earning a four year degree, and if God provides, maybe going to seminary for a Master's degree in Theology.
Who knows what God will do with a heart that says "Will do." ?
