the book

my amazing new hat i made tonight













i know have kid about it for a while how heather should write a book,but we are now really going to do it. we are asking lauren if she would like to join us in this craziness but i'm not so sure how she will respond.
today was the first official day that we got started. we outlined what we want to mention in the book and will spend time fleshing out the rest one topic at a time.
i'm not sure who we are writing this book for, or even what the whole point of it s, but know that we need to do it. it could very well be that we need to organize what all we experienced while we were there, and it will be good for us to be able to look back and see just what he has shown us.
or it could be that this is how he wants us to open people's eyes to what he has for them, and what they are missing out on.
i don't think we will know until we get closer to the end.
jo said something interesting to me the other day after we had listened to a song she told me it made her sad because she felt like she was missing out on something. how i wanted to show her that what she is missing is that relationship with God, maybe this book could help her too... i don't know but i will keep praying for her and trying to be the best example i can.
on another topic i talked to aaron tonight about waiting till we graduated for School until we got married because i felt that the beginning of 09 was too soon. he agreed a lil shocked at first, but agreed.. so know we don't have a clue as to when but, it is off in the distant future.

so prayer for all the above would be good, what do you need prayer for?

me all sideways and stoked wearing the jelly fish hat from tif tif













so i haven't really written anything since i got home but life has been interesting since the last post.
i am running hard after god and i feel like i am actually getting some where this time. the stuff he has crammed into my brian the past four months is coming out of the deepest darkest parts of my mind that i had no idea had been filled with stuff. i feel like my brain is the old card filing system in libraries, there are so many little cards in all those little drawers that when you open one up, there are so many different ideas and lessons sitting inside just waiting for the moment when some one is looking for that specific one. and it's not like i know which ones i will be pulling out at any given minute they just fly into my mouth like those balls pop up for the lotto into the lady's hand. she has no control over which number comes up, but she holds out her hand with confidence knowing that a number will be there for her to read aloud. i have lately been thinking about the gifts god has given me and how he calls me to use them everyday to strengthen the body of christ. i at times can be ungrateful for what he has given me and i am sorry. i am beginning to see how exciting it is that god is using me and i am more willing now to let him work through me even more.

i will write more,but it's late and i am tired. god is showing me cool stuff and i am trying to write it down so i can share it with others better. ask me about it next time you see me
