Mountains
OK...
So I'm going to have to post pictures of my spinning in a week or two. Because I'm going elk hunting with my Daddy in my favorite little piece of the Rockies.
I am very excited about having a few days out where God seems so real and the world so vague.
The food is good too, believe it or not. My Dad is quite ingenious. We've had hot casseroles, hot soup, tasty sandwiches, cereal and milk (one of my favorite foods) and other yummies in the past. And let's not forget the hot drinks! Tea, tang, chocolate...MMMmmm! I'm sure it will be just as good this time!
Try not to miss me too much!

Housework
It's fall cleaning time at my house, and I'm busy, busy with wet-vacuuming furniture.
It always feels good to make the house pretty.
We got a new computer that is much less of a hassle for pictures, so perhaps sometime next week I'll be able to post some pictures of my spinning stuff.
Happy Fall!

Crazy
My life seems like a crazy, delicious whirlwind of change directed by that still, small voice.
Please pray for me as I enter into a time of waiting mixed with action.
Please pray that I will listen to God.
And that He will guide my steps.
And that I will trust Him.
He is soo good, so worthy of my faith.
Praise you Jesus! For taking my debt, and my life, and giving me Yourself. I love you!

Stars
It's Fall, and the stars are changing. Maybe it is the earlier nightfall that has made the biggest difference in the way they look for me. Or maybe it is just their slowly changing positions.
Last night the clouds obstructed my view, but the night before that, they were big and bright in a dark, dark sky.
Scorpio is starting to set quickly in the evening, but it's red star is so red! And the big dipper is right side up--a big change from summertime. I've been particularly tickled with my ability to see the constellations just south of Cassiopeia. It is neat to see the huge constellation Pegasus.
There are still a lot of constellations that I don't know, but it is always fun to learn new ones. What are your favorite constellations? Are any of you star-freaks? Who's been stargazing since summer??
Can't wait for your comments! Have fun looking at those stars. You know, they are the same ones Abraham saw!

Some Things
Some things that make me feel free are:
Walking...alone in the evening
Watching the sun set
Knowing God loves me anyway
Thunderstorms
Remembering that it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, except my King-Papa
When the wind blows flower petals away
Knowing it is because of my utter incompetence that God is able to work in me
Being out of school
Not knowing the future, just trusting
Winning a game of rummy against my mom
The changing seasons
God's power and peace
Reading the gospels

Pretending
My sister who is seven and I were pretending.
She has 45 kids. And there is a very interesting twist. Her oldest child is 37 and I, her older sister, am only 31 (in the game of course. I'm not really that old!).
Suddenly she mentioned that she has 30 kids.
me: "What? Where did the other 15 go?"
her: "They just went out with baby Carrie --she's only three-- and I told them to be home for supper, but they are not."
me: "Why, aren't you worried??"
her: (suddenly realizing she should be worried, and assuming the proper facial expression) "Oh, yes I can't even sleep at night. And I have 45 bedrooms."
me: "have you called the cops?"
her: "Oh, yes. But they've looked everywhere and can't find them."
me: "Well what about your husband, is he looking for them?"
her: "I hadn't thought of that!"
I guess her kids were finally found in the grocery store.
Oh the wonderful world of pretend...even if one doesn't have a solid concept of numeric values.

YAY!!!
I got my passport today! I am SO excited. This means that I am more prepared to act when the way is revealed to me. I must admit, it is a great comfort to know that at least this one thing is accomplished.
It is beautiful: beautiful proof of my identity and US Citizenship. Even if it does bear the ugliest picture of me possible.
This is a good day.
