School.....

I haven't written too much about school lately, because I'm really struggling. My computer class is fine, but Biology and Math are killing me. I don't know why everything's so hard this quarter. I was working hard before, but I was nailing stuff. Now, I'm working even harder and not doing as well. I've been going in for extra help with math, but just when I think I've caught on, we move on to some new material. Ugh....The other day in math class, I literally looked up at the ceiling and prayed for God to help me. I thought: do I seriously have 5 more weeks of this? I don't think I'll fail these classes, but shoot - I hope I can make it...

I can totally relate! I did life biologically backwards :) (career first, kids second). I remember filling in bubbles on many a multiple choice test, praying "may Jesus guide my hand!"

Hang in there. US is a great field to go into, a decent living without years and years and years and years of prep. If I had to do it over again I probably would be an Xray tech.

Baptists vs. Pentecostals? What's the Deal?

So, what's the deal between Baptists and Pentecostals/Charismatics? Why is it that these two groups allow the non-essentials (non-essentials to salvation, that is) to divide them? I grew up in a conservative, Baptist church. Certain "things" that Pentecostals did, were basically mocked and considered "evil/of the devil." Raising hands during worship? Forget it. Praying in tongues? ABsolutely NOT. As a kid, I remember watching African-American church services on TV, and being mesmerized by their enthusiasm in worshipping God. I wanted to worship like that - to fully express my emotion and love toward the Lord with other believers. After all, I LOVED Him! He was my closest Friend since I was about four years old. I WANTED to express my love to Him. Frankly, I found my church growing up to be very BORING. Grab a hymnal. Stand up. Sing a song. Sit down. Yawn.... When I turned 18, I was invited by Joe's mom, to attend a Foursquare church where I lived. Now, havin...

It's Thanksgiving again - yay

I have become less fond of Thanksgiving the last ten years. First of all, me, Joe and our kids usually end up doing it alone. No big event. No warm, large, extended family gathering. We used to have them. And, sadly, we had more when we lived states away from our extended family, because we would always be invited to share the holiday with friends or families from church. I have tried to invite people over (who might not have a place to go), and create a gathering, but that has never worked out. I have tried something out of the norm, and went to Old Country Buffet. Read last year's entry about Thanksgiving, and you'll see what a fiasco THAT was. This year, Joe's parents are still living in another state, my side of the family is somewhat estranged etc., and no one has invited us to join their extended family gathering. I thought about going and serving a meal at a homeless shelter or something. It's still a thought, but we'll probably just be alone again. We do, ho...
