Believe!

So this is one of the posts, I should have posted a really long time ago, but because I couldn't download pictures I never did. On March 28th and 29th I went with Christ's Church to Believe. It was kinda weird because I had already started my new job and on my first weekend, I was going with my old church to a conference as a sponsor. But it was great! It was good to have closur on a great experince and say goodbye to some people I really love.

Here's a picture of me and some of the sponsors. TO the right of me is Nicole Benscoter. I love and miss her so much! We were 10th grade small group leaders together and she is seriously the best person I have ever met! She is so real and she loves God so much.


And here's a picture of my group and another group sitting on the bulls outside of our convention center.


Also we had Civil War Reenactors at our hotel! So of course we had to take pictures with them! This is a once in a lifetime expereince!


It was really a great time! It was a great time to say goodbye and to start my new adventure. It also reminded me of the importance of pouring into someone else and doing life together. We're not meant to be on our own little islands. We're made to live in community and to CONNECT (theme of Believe) not only to each other but to God.

God is so good! Thank you GOd for Friends, Family, Community, and Civil War Reenactments!

Postcard, Friends, and Noah's Ark

Ok, I have a ton of blogs to post. However, I keep leaving my camera cable at home and so I can't put up any pictures. So much stuff has happened. I'm still working at FCCO and I'm still living with Becca. But everything else just feels like a whirlwind (more explanation later).

So I made my very first postcard! It's for a parent meeting I'm hosting next weekend. It took me forever to make because I don't have Illustrator on my computer and I had to make it in Publisher...which I now hate. Anyway, I got most of the graphics off of istock.com, which my lovely friend Crystal introduced me to. Here's the front:



And here's the back:



I'm going to Jacksonville today to watch the Office with Terry and Tammy, and then I'm going to get a bunch of stuff done on my car tomorrow. I really miss all my friends in Jacksonville. And I really miss The Well. I miss just acting like myself and being surrounded by people I knew. The people in Orlando are great but I don't really feel like I can act like myself yet, and I don't know anyone's name! It's just different right now.

So I've already made someone mad :o/ I was cleaning out the church resource room and apparently I throw away an Ark that someone had made. And the measurements were to scale. It didn't look like an ark. It looked like a paper organizer or mail sorter. Someone else thought it was a paper organizer also...because there were paper's in it. Anyway it made the lady really mad and Shan had to clam her down. And he's having someone make another one for her. So fun times....

I'll post more later!
