“For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.”- 2 Timothy 1:7 This verse, brings a tear to my eye as I think about it. 2 years ago during the summer I took a trip down to a little town called Ajo. Garlic Town. My job: to build a childrens program at the baptist church and bring more kids in. Uh, sort of. So I down one week before the summer, just to see everything, check out the kids, yadda yadda. As I walked into church, I saw, well.... I see dead people.... It's easy to say that I was the youngest person there. It's easy to say my 40 year old roommate was the second youngest person there. The thrid youngest person there had been going to that church for oh, about 40 years. I'm a little exaggerating. But I mean a VERY little. There were no kids. I don't know why I would think there would be more kids. How can work on childrens ministry that doesn't exist?! Any takers?! No? I sat down as the preacher ...

Basic list of stuff I wanna do. No I'm not trying to be like Buried Life. Except that I am. 1. Finish school. Yes it might seem like something that's "Eh," I have now concluded to the fact that school  is not working for me. I am not a good student. At all. So there ya go. 2. Put a ring on it. Or have him put a ring on it. I could go on for days about my wedding, and more impotantly being married. But, everytime I talk about it go wayyyyy overboard. So movin on. 3. Learn to be good with babies. Yes I can work with kids. Pretty much any age after 2, I got this. Babies....ahhhhhh. 4. Learn to be Susie Homemaker. I wanna knit, sew, cook, and what have you. I was going to say have a clean house... But who are we kidding. I just know be a super creative and awesome wife and mom. 5. Be a teacher. I've been super discouarged lately about my teaching and educating abilities based on the mere fact that I am such a horrible student. My logic is, how on earth can...

A lot has happened since my last post. Liar. Okay, more like a lot of time has passed since my last post. Better. I was thinking today about time. Time is what makes do something, or not something. I am totally not one of those people who can have a full schedule and give 100 percent to everything in my schedule. I gotta learn to say no to things. Anywhoooo..... The last 2 years I had a mentor, her name is Debbie. Debbie is susie homemaker in my eyes. When we started hanging out I really didn't need someone to get deep with... even though we got real deep.... I didn't need someone with a lot to say.... even though I cherish her opinion so much.... what I needed was someone who will teach me how to cook, sew, bake, and be creative in totally different ways. So we made a purse: I am looking towards making a skirt with her. :)

Today I went to the art museum. They have a creative photography exhibit, for portraits. If that's not an eye opener to the crap photography I've been doing, I don't know what is. I love taking pictures. I love writing. I love art. But I'm not good. Or at least not as good I want to be, or should be. No, I'm not fishing for compliments.  I have so many people I know that are better than me. No contest. I know some people, that just do things differently than I do. I say this, because I have been inspired to stop sulking over people who are better than me, and better myself at my work. When I was in theater, it was the same thing. There was always someone who was better than me. I worked my tail off, to get on top. That's what she said. I audtioned for plays. I did tech. I didn't get discouarged when someone else was better than, or got a "better" role than me. And by the end of high school, I won Eugretes Award for high school theater achievem...
