Today is a wonderful relaxing Saturday. I have have a ton to do but...I'll see what actually gets done.
I am beginning to feel the need for the end of the school year and welcome it's haste.
Two weeks ago my dad's wife Doris was diagnosed with breast cancer, yesterday she had surgery and is on her way home today. So that is a good thing. Last night and the rest of this weekend I get to hang out with her sons. All 3 of them. They are great. It is like they are long lost relatives but the fact that they are my step-brothers is kinda neat. We are all the same ages too I think we like having brothers like they like having sisters, it is a neat instant bond that is here because we all lost a parent and we all have a step parent.
That is all for...I am again out of words. AHHH SATURDAYS!

So...Liberty
I have been unofficially accepted to Liberty University in Virginia. I am going to get my M.A.R. (Master's in Religion) Seminary is something that I have been thinking about as early as 1998. So NOW, 12 years later, it is finally becoming a reality. I am excited and even better I have a peace about this. I had a desire to go to University of Texas at Arlington for my Master's in Education however, when you don't feel a peace about things you shouldn't go ahead and do it just cause. ( I learned this the hard way.) I am excited about this new venture and will need lots of encouragement and prayer.
The other day someone (my sis) made a comment that really made me think. She said she thought I was a "Church Junkie." If you know this sister you know that she chooses her words carefully so as to make the recipient think. This was no different. Prior to this conversation I had decided that I would go to our Saturday and Sunday Easter services. Saturday so I could relax, and participate as a member in the congregation and Sunday b/c I was singing in the choir and would help lead in the worship music. So as it turned out I am a "church junkie" and I wouldn't have it any other way. That is where my friends are, my faith grows and I can corporately worship the Father. The church, my church, is a place where people/I can go to get fed. It is by no means perfect and neither am I but for me it beats bars, clubs and, I can't believe I am about to say this but, shopping. It honestly makes me sad that others don't have a place of refuge.
Next decision: Bible study I feel like I need to do another study. Not for them but for me. I don't know what though so I will be praying about that as well. We just finished Sweeter than Chocolate a Study on the 119th Psalm and I needed to be reminded of how I can dwell on God's word and He will guide me in all I do. There is still so much that I need to learn. Oy.
Lastly Voy a las Islas Canarias otra vez.
Ore para mi..

Adios
