Hey, so I guess I was right with what I said before, about how I probably won't publish too much this summer. You know, sometimes I get worried that I'm addicted to Facebook or something (I know, right? Me? No way!), but then I go like a week or two without even thinking about it, get home, and have other stuff to do, so I don't get on, and it doesn't bother me. Then I feel better about it, because, I mean, I just went how long without even being bothered by not logging on? But then I finally do get on, just to check my requests and notifications... and other people's posts... and new pictures.... and to change my picture.... and follow a few links... maybe write a note.... or two... not to mention email.... and this.... so yeah, then I'm not so sure...
Ok, so today, was cool, and I should tell you why. I'm going to tell you why. Right now. I went to help at this VBS thing (Vacation Bible School, for those of you not in the know) that Lois has been helping in this week. They put me with the 5th and 6th grade class, because they needed an adult. I was ok with that, even though it didn't really feel like I was helping, because it was only for a couple of hours anyway. I've had much worse, and hey, I was helping. But anyways, I was helping prepare for the kids to show up at first. We were all writing verses on these cards and stuff, and one of the guys said "So this is God's word?" Not like he didn't believe it, or know, but like he didn't understand. The other helpers and I explained it to him, and he seemed to understand. Then, when the kids were all there, and we were doing the lesson, everyone had lots of questions. They were all pretty basic questions, about the Bible, and Jesus dying for our sins, why God had to send Jesus, the disciples, etc. I answered most of them, because I didn't know how the lesson was supposed to go, so the other guys were doing that. Right before the kids were about to leave, because of all the questions they had asked, I stopped everyone, and asked "Does everyone understand how Jesus died for us, and how to be saved?" Everyone said they did, so then I asked "Has everyone here done that?" I got nods from some of the kids, and some didn't answer, but their looks suggested yes. Everyone, except for that one guy (I can't remember his name) who had asked about the Bible being God's word. He was sitting next to where I was standing, so I asked him why he hadn't, where the kids couldn't hear. He told me that he probably would eventually, but he hadn't yet, because of stuff in his past. He said that it seemed like God wasn't there for him. I asked him a few more questions, but didn't push anything, and I backed off when another kid who had been watching caught my eye and told me to drop. The last thing I said was that he could come to me with any questions he had. Later, after all the kids (including the one who had told me to drop it) had left, he asked me a question about his friend. It seemed like a genuine question, but it also kinda felt like, after I invited him to ask me anything, he had searched for something to ask. I think that's good, because it means that he's interested, and that he trusts me to answer him well. I've been praying about him since he said that he isn't saved, and I'd appreciate your prayers as well. Hopefully, I'll see him again tomorrow. If so, I'll try to give him my phone number or something, especially if he doesn't make the decision to accept Christ then. But hopefully, he will. Let's stay hopeful!
Alright, now it's late, and I kinda want to get up early in the morning to get some exercise in. I told myself I would exercise every day this week, but I haven't done any yet. That's not good. I really don't want to get out of shape this summer. Oh! So apparently we're getting a refund check from A&M, because we payed more than we needed to this past year. It's a pretty good amount of money. I think I might grab like $40 or so of it to add to what I have set aside already for running shoes, and get myself a really nice pair. I've wanted some for a while now, and I definitely need some new shoes before this fall. The ones I have now won't last another year of what I put them through last year, and my feet won't last too much longer, either, if I keep wearing those shoes. But I went to Finish Line in the mall on Monday, and the guy showed me these really nice shoes... ohh man..... I've never felt more comfortable shoes than those. And they fit so well! They just felt so much better than any other shoes I've ever worn... which is good, because they cost about 5 times as much as any shoes I've ever owned as well... Oh well. I'm about to look online to see if I can find them anywhere for less than what the mall had them at. Which, by the way, was $130.... Yeah.... But I might find some that are better suited for me that are cheaper. I don't know. We'll see.
I love summer! But it seems like this summer is passing by even faster than last year!! Does anyone know how to either slow time down or add more time to summer? I don't want it to end!! *sigh* but all things that begin, end. That's what got me through fish year, and it's what's dragging me through summer as well. I guess I just need to make the best memories possible, because those are what last... And videos, too...
