woo-hoo!!

I got a job yesterday. Not just any job, but a way awesome job! I am going to be a barista for a Christian coffee shop/bookstore. I had an interview yesterday and she hired me on the spot. I am excited to work in a Christian enviroment that has a ministry focus. They have a great location, so hopefully it will draw people who need Jesus. I pray that the Lord would use me to minister to those who need my gifts.

Wildflower Seeds

This morning my husband said to me, "I have a surprise for you, but you will have to find it." So I instantly start searching my house looking for a surprise. He stopped me and told me that I wouldn't find it until later.

I was doing some homework before class started today and needed to crunch some numbers so I pulled my trusty calculator out. It sounded like there was sand in it. But when I pulled it out of the case a package of wildflower seeds fell out. I was so excited that he had thought of me. I felt so loved! I can't wait to have a whole bed with those wildflowers all summer to remind me how much he loves me:)

happy birthday gampa

Today would have been my grandpa's 91st birthday. Last year I sent him a brithday card. In the card I told him how Jesus loved him more than anyone else ever has or ever will and that Jesus loved him so much that he willingly died on the cross to pay the payment for his sins. I knew that even if it didn't all make sense to him my mom was over visiting and she could answer his questions. He did have some questions, but on March 5, 2005 at 90 years old he confessed that Jesus was God and asked Him to forgive him from all of his sins. Praise the Lord that He revealed Himself to my grandpa when He did!! My grandpa died two weeks later, March 18, 2005 (on my birthday). He was heading a committe meeting in his community. He was still very active, living with my gammie on their own. He walked every day.

On a happier note, I took a heat transfer test last Friday that was super hard. I walked away from the test wondering if I should drop the class. When I got my test back yesterday I thought that I had gotten the wrong one! I earned an 80%!!!! I know it is barely a B, but I was thrilled!!! I never would have guessed that I had done that well. I know that there were lots of people praying for me. God is good! All the time God is good!

Are there any rules about blogging? Do you just ramble on about whatever you feel like, or do you sit down and write a rough draft before you post? Anyone have any suggestions for me? I would love to hear them!
