Ugh. *groggy* I shouldn’t have stayed up this late for the synod.

groggy.
Wednesday, October 30th, 2002pennies are useless.
Tuesday, October 29th, 2002When I’m vacuuming I actually aim for them. Nickels are so-so. I appreciate them but if one falls out of my wallet onto the dirty sidewalk I’m not going to waste my time to pick it up. Dimes are petite and quite nifty.
Quarters? Well, I think quarters are wonderful. I don’t have to carry twenty-five annoying pennies. However, I’m not one of those irritating people who wait at cash registers or drive-thru’s trying to pick out the “new quarters.” I don’t even collect them.
Are you one of those?
good news.
Tuesday, October 29th, 2002I have been hired by Bowers School Supply Company. Shock of all shocks- they even asked me what my plans are after graduation.
“We really need someone with your education and experience to benefit our marketing.”
I start on Nov. 8.
friendships are peculiar.
Tuesday, October 29th, 2002There are a variety of types and in most cases if any time elapses between the two friends then the relationship is somewhat awkward. You either 1.) Start over or 2.) Try to make up for lost time.
Jennifer Turner has been one of my closest friends that I’ve ever had. We met at the Shack and laughed and cried our way into a friendship. She has seen the absolute worst side of me and encouraged me when I have been down. Goodness…the memories of the Shack should be a completely different blog post! She was two years ahead of me and Candy and I went to her graduation and I have to say…I was so proud of her. She became an elementary school teacher and she’s been teaching for two years. We don’t talk that often because of our crazy schedules but when we find a moment to chat- it’s as though we’ve just picked up where we last left off.
Anyway…last night we talked and caught each other up on all that’s occurred in our lives. Then she dropped the bomb. At once I remembered my conversation with Charity one year ago this past May. Jennifer proceeded to tell me that she’s quitting her job and heading back to school. Seminary. God has been preparing her heart for over a year to yield her future to Him and to trust Him as He leads her into missions.
Wow. Two of my best friends are going to be involved in missions in some way.
