The other day a complete stranger was standing at the bus stop as i was walking up to it and he turned to me and said "Pardon me miss, but I just want to say that you wear those hats beautifully, and... you have a heart of gold... don't let anyone put dynamite on it."
So, things have been quite random lately, trying to finish applying for colleges... I've been accepted to Belhaven in Mississippi though!!!
I just got done helping out with VBS (vacation bible school) in Woodinville this last week, so I'm trying to help my math students that I'm tutoring catch up in their classes. I really don't like being away for so very long, but you have to do what you have to do!
I'll be taking the first week of August off to spend with my Grandmother in Yakima, and the last week of August off to spend with my family back east. My cousin is getting married in New Jersey, so I'll be going there for the wedding and trying to spend time getting to know the family members that I really don't know very well at all. Dad's dead set against my going, but I've already purchased the ticket, so I'm going. I'm ready for an adventure. I never travel, I never go out and do crazy stuff, and I never go on adventures where there's family waiting to meet me on the other side of the continent!
So, things are going relatively chaotically. and I've just finished my application for Central Washington University, now I must go and send my transcript to the school in order to be considered for acceptance.
I also just received notification that I will be teaching five dance classes a week this upcoming dance season, I suppose I will need to find another full-time job, move out, and continue my applications for school. I'd better get on looking for a job! A friend of mine who I trust and love offered to share her studio with me at least until March!!!! God is so great!
But mostly, This is what makes me happy: God's joy.
Here is one form of it:
This post just lit up my evening, Carole!
ReplyDeleteAhh! How I adore you. That stranger was so so so right in so many ways.
You take such wonderful care of your grandmother, it makes me smile. And I'm stoked for your trip to New Jersey! Carole takes over the WORLD! Dude. I've been praying for you and your trip. Hope you have an incredible time of connecting with your other family and seeing all sorts of new sights.
And to you and Ernesto I wish all the best best best.
As for Belhaven, I have two Christian friends who studied dance at Belhaven. If you have any interest in meeting them (in Seattle) let me know. I know one is plugged into Seattle doing dancing right now. Congrats on your acceptance!
AND ON YOUR JOB!
And so many wonderful things.
Let's hang out super soon. I like having you in my life.
