The Zerma Video

A video about the people group I will be serving in just a couple of months! Time goes by so quickly. It is only a couple of weeks until I go to Guatemala, and then my summer is going to fly by!

I have much to be thankful for tonight. People who love my church, me, in Jesus. Is there a greater blessing in life aside from Christ Himself? Tonight, I don't think so.

wish list

In light of recent events/conversations, I'd like to share a few of my desires publicly. In the event I am seriously disabled/dying, these are just a few of my wishes.

• if I'm alive, please keep me alive as long as possible
• please assume I can hear you talk and speak to me
• read me scripture, the gospels, psalms, prophets
• pray over and with me out loud, both for me and with me for people I love and care for
• please don't drug me to the point I can't think, even if I'm in pain
• but please do keep me out of pain as much as possible
• please wet my lips
• please bring my family/friends to see me as much as possible

OK, I know this really, really isn't a complete list, but it is a few things. For the record.

hum de ho, here we go

Time is flying, so fast.

It is summer again. Today was hot. I am sweaty.

And the time of waiting for Africa is drawing to a close.

What have I been doing? Not blogging, obviously! Since my last post I have: gotten five shots, bought a mosquito net tent (which is back ordered till July, wherever I find it!), received the devotional/club info in preparation for Camp Guamiski, Guatemala, oooOOOOoohhh so many things.

Tomorrow I am getting a yellow fever shot. Yikes.

Soo...Rock climbing

I've been an absent blogger...again!

But I have been a very present enjoy-er. My sis has been home for her birthday, and I we've been doing fun things together.

We visited friends in a town closer to the Rockies.
We rode in a convertible.
We ate Japanese.
We went to an awesome church where almost the whole praise team had tattoos and earrings! ---although Jesus is what made it good...
We had a birthday dinner at Chile's.
And we went rock climbing for the first time EVER!

It was so scary and so much fun that tomorrow we are traveling to the town I went to school at last semester to pick up Amanda and go again.

Maybe someday I will live in a town where I can belong to a climbing club.
For now, I'll live in the now, and love it.
