So much has happened sense I first opened this blog. Its mind boggling! I don't even know where to begin...
My grandfather passed away about a month ago. I recall posting about that but never announced it, well now its official. I attended his memorial service. It was a wonderful service. My mother and my father were both there, and my father was able to see my mothers family! Something he has not be able to do since the divorce.
On the bright side my grandfather left me some very special gifts. I inherited all of his clothes! They are beautiful and wearing them is a great honor. Each time I slip on one of his sweaters or hat, or something of his I get excited. Its like me bringing him back to life for just a few moments and then having him walk around with me. I received about six sweaters, two suits, a really nice vest, a pair of gloves and a number of hats. But my most favorite - his watch! I cant remember a time where my grandfather was not wearing a watch. He had one on his wrist at all times doing any sort of work.
I really wish I kept up with this blog, it would make writing simple... right now my brain is being pulverized with my most current memories and making it very difficult to compose them in order.
So much has happened at church its a little overwhelming. Everything has moved so fast. I was invited to a leadership retreat and heard some very powerful testimonies, they were all extremely motivating. It was a little hard being there at first, It took me a few days to get comfortable but when I did, that comfort and love just continued to grow. I like to believe that I still hold it with the people which I spent time with up there.
I am not sure if I blogged about this earlier or even hinted at it, but I was accepted to APU for the fall. Registration starts in one week, and I am so excited!... I will also be taking one class in the summer. Unlimited food, housing, an opportunity to make friends, to live in a God loving community! It is an answer to prayer and such a blessing. I just cant wait!!!!
Annnddd the thoughts rush in again... hmm... well I also blessed with a job. Two weeks ago... speaking of which, this actually is an answer to one of my specific prayers. If I haven't noted this before in any of my posts, I have a small prayer list which I started about oh... I don't know, maybe a month ago. I believe it was in early March.
I have been given all these wonderful things, and I now I pray that God gives me discernment and guidance in using them. What is gold if you don't know how to make jewelry? Its the same for all of this, what are all of these blessings if I can not produce something out of them and spread it in some way to others.
