Business of Life is a good thing!

Well... It has been a while since I last posted and I would like to apologize. I have had the pleasure of enjoying the company of two young men from Germany for the past 4 days and it has been a total blast! I have enjoyed their company and will miss them when they leave! Yet, I know I can't enjoy their company forever, despite how much I would love it! 

Today we went to a widow's house to help do spring cleaning. It was a nice time of working with other Christian men and eating good food! ( Such as brownies, cheesecake brownies, and whoopie pies! [ yes... there was other food such as barbecue and the such but the brownies were WONDERFUL! ] :) 

Shakespeare practice... Ah.. as I think about that wonderful time last night I cringe in regret at the lack of my acting! Well, I suppose that I should correct that! It might not be the lack of acting but rather the lack of memorization that has produce the lack ( in my part ) thereof. I know that I can conquer my lines... perhaps I will start typing them and putting them on here... that might just help! ( and maybe encourage all my friends too! :) Although I love my lines, everyone has the hardest time taking me seriously with that wig that I wear... I mean... What 50 old man has Albany, curly, and "so" 70's style hair? :) I enjoy the, I guess you could call it, "picking" that I get... I guess that I just don't want to show it. :) As far as pictures go... I don't think I will put one up of the wig! :)

Lately, the Lord has been teaching me a few things... one thing is that life, school, and work, aren't what you would plan for yourself all the time. Yet, while things might not seem to be going the way I want, I am learning to see that God's ways are higher and that I can trust Him! Another thing that He is teaching me is to hand over my fears to him. Now, for those of you who don't know, I have a AMAZINGLY INTENSE FEAR of poison ivy. Part of that is the case that I had last fall that had both of my arms, most of my upper body ( except the back ), and most of my legs covered in poison, for a period of three/four weeks. ( The longest three/four weeks of my life! ) Now, this summer the Lord has brought many lawn mowing opportunities to me when I wasn't even looking for them! Praise him as I had been praying for a job. The only downfall to lawn mowing is frequently running in to, none other than the real deal, Poison Ivy. Ah....... I am so scared of that stuff but know that a "lawn business" is what God would have of me this summer. He provided the work and I need to hand those fears, no matter how valid they may be or seem to me, over to the Lord. Please pray with me that I will accept this and that I will hand this fear over to the Lord!

I am very thankful for the friends that the Lord has brought into my life and thank Him daily, when I remember you! ( Phl. 1:3 )

God bless and keep in touch! I have so many things I can post about so I hope to get some more posted soon! Such as, our recent trip to... oh.. never mind. I think I will wait to tell you!
