I've Been Busy!!

Wow, I haven't blogged in forever! Did ya miss me? :) Unfortunately, this is not going to be a very long or informative blog entry. I have no real excuse for not blogging other than, I have been extremely busy! My new responsibilities at AIM are still very exciting and fun...and time consuming! Add to that my preparations for Cornerstone clubs to start up next week and I barely have time to sleep. Don't worry though, I am so tired at the end of that day that I have been sleeping plenty! Hopefully I will have more time in the near future to catch you up on things. I did get my newsletter in the mail this week, so that should help. If you don't receive my newsletter, but would like to, let me know!!

I did get to spend all day Sunday with Bonita and Linda and it was WONDERFUL! I really love those girls. Bonita was the only girl in my Sunday School class so we got a really good chance to talk, and she was very open about some things that have been going on with them. They are growing up SO fast!

Okay, I'm sorry this is so short but I really need to get to bed! Before I go, though, I would like to ask for some prayer for wisdom. I had a roommate move in about 4 months ago. My main goal in having her move in was to have someone around, someone to help take care of the house, and mainly to have someone help with the bills so I might not have to work for AIM this year. Well, I am still working for AIM and that's actually going really well (have I mentioned that, haha), so I don't really need the financial help. I have also discovered that I don't enjoy having someone else around as much as I thought it would (I NEED time alone, and she can't stand to be alone), and I am apparently pretty particular about what my house should look like, and she has differing opinions (plus, her day job is cleaning, which means when she comes home she doesn't want to clean).

She is not a bad person at all and has an amazing heart. However, she is just out of college and going through a lot as she transitions, and I don't think I have the energy to counsel her through that. I need to be able to come home to peace and calm, and that isn't what happens right now. Not even close.

Also, with her moving in I have moved Bonita and Linda's room into the basement. It has been way too hot for them to sleep there, so they haven't been over as much in the last few months and I have discovered that I HATE that. Linda asked me yesterday if I sometimes wished that they still lived with me...and I could honestly answer, yes. They may be wild and crazy at times, but I always felt at peace when they were living with me. My house is not at peace right now.

So, I need wisdom. I certainly don't want to leave my roommate with nowhere to go, but I don't want things to stay the way they are.

Please pray with me, and PLEASE feel free to share any wisdom or insights you might have!

Thanks, and good night!

yea! I woke up and had a blog entry to read hehe. I'm praying for you with that situation. Oh how I miss Jennifer and Kiara! I will never forget when Jennifer asked me for pillows and I was oh so confused...and then Kiara said, "I want my flower" and I just thought I was going crazy! I am so glad they have you in their lives!
