Yesterday, I went to a Sponge Bob Square Pants slip-n-slide party. It was set up in the front yard. We also played with water balloons. The participants? Four college girls who know how to have a good time. Yesssss. Continue reading →

I was never one of those kids who experimented with bad words. My worst phase was third grade when I would take the Lord’s name in vain.  In fact, I used to not even let people say the word “crap” around me and now I say it more openly (which I shouldn’t). I think it’s … Continue reading →

Well, it’s only 1pm and God has already taught me something huge today.  After the shower this morning, my nose stud fell out but I didn’t realize it until I was walking out to my carro to go to Half Price books (whoop).  Get this. When I discovered that it was missing, I got self … Continue reading →

So I’m the one that takes out the trash in our suite. It has been a weekly struggle for me to do it lovingly and humbly. I continually think, “I’m doing this to please God….but they would even lift a finger or acknowledge that I do this every time the trash is full.” That’s not … Continue reading →

We were discussing that whole experience at freshman dinner and when I was telling them what I was like and watching everyone laugh hysterically, I realized. I was a nerd and I didn’t even know it-which … Continue reading →

At “work”, we try to make the kids (force them) to memorize our theme verse for the week.  Usually it’s sung to the tune of Farmer in the Dell or Stairway to Heaven or some obscure Russian song that no one knows the tune to. When we first started, I thought it was dumb but … Continue reading →

Okey dokey. Today we’re talking about breaking rules.  Specifically these crazy invisble rules that everyone follows even though they aren’t posted anywhere- social norms.  There are some that are humorous to think about breaking like eating with silverware, or the proper ettiquette for standing in an elevator, or how to meet someone properly and shake … Continue reading →

Okay, so here are the highlights of the junior high retreat (be ready): 1.  We played Pretty Pretty Princess. Within the span of about 45 minutes, we lost an earring in the woods, found it, and the crown got snapped in half. But don’t worry, I’ve properly ductaped it back and now we have Ghetto … Continue reading →
