I got busy

Ahhhh, somehow in the past 3 weeks I have gotten so busy that the only time I have to blog is while I am babysitting Coffee with Gods kids. They are asleep and I "borrowing their computer".

What is going on in my life? well, I finally talked to my pastor about going on a mission trip to Bolivia. Now I just need to figure out whether I go in July or October and then send a letter to the elders. My dad has offered to get me to and from Miami. Now I need to raise about $1500.00.
500 of that is for supplies and 1000 is for the flight form Miami to Bolivia and back. It is a mountain I am looking forward to climbing. But first I need to tell my leaders and the team I am going with, my intentions.

I am also going completely manless. I am on week# 3 and am holding up well. ( I think) It is weird to not pick up the phone and call a "man". It is just me a God now. I spend I lot more time talking to him, he offers really good solutions. I think that this is one of the reasons I have packed my schedule so full. Be busy and feel no pain. I am also thinking about where my life would be if I had not gotten divorced. I would have at least one child and be a stay at home mom. I feel a little sad when I reflect on it too much. I am very thankful we never had a child in the mess of a marriage but some times.....

But babysitting a few nights a week sure puts those feeling to rest in a hurry. I love kids and hanging out with them. It also erases that longing in a real hurry. It is said that childless people fell sorry for people with children and people with children feel sorry for those who have none. I do not feel this way but sometimes I know that moms just need a break.

I also start to work Thursday evenings again. I do enjoy the night shift. It makes me feel important because I am all of a sudden an integral part of the process as opposed to the girl in the lonely back corner.

My life, to be continued.......
