this is a result of caitie...

I am totally worn out.

Watching after little kids who have an ongoing desire to jump on your back can cause this. But it was fun nevertheless...little ones are awesome. It really is a blessing. I'm glad I have the opportunity. I'm kind of scatter brained. Everyone has noticed it...I've been like that these past two days. I'm not sure why..........probably the whole being with kids who have twice your energy thing. Anyway, school starts back in one week. Not to thrilled, but not too bothered by it. It's going to be a hard year. I'm taking Algebra II with Trigonometry and Chemistry at the same time. I will probably have to study for the first time ever...so I hear. But I'm looking forward to the electives, drawing and choir. Art is wonderful. It captivates me. It displays God's beauty in small ways. It is simply fascinating. A cricket is chirping (i guess you call that sound chirping) outside. I desperately have been desiring discernment lately (Caitie, please pray for that for me!). Wow that was a lot of d's in that sentence. But really.....I need it. With everything that's going on and returning to school....I need it. But I know God will provide. His name is El Shadi after all. God.....please help me get enough rest to carry me through until tomorrow night at 9!!! I need your help. Off to bed I go...

Bye.

one of my new favorite artists. ten thousand angels is the song. you should listen. the youth conference has been some sweet stuff. God is always faithful. the big 'cataclysmic' stuff isn't where it's all at. i think sometimes i actually prefer the still small voice. it is a lot easier to know for sure that it's really Him when He speaks like that. i like it. i'm ready for more rain. come on.

home.
