Happy Birthday!

"Happy Birthday!!"

~ Frosty on Frosty the Snowman whenever he comes alive. I say this because it is the birthday of my blog and hopefully a step closer to my writing career.

There are a couple of basics that need to be known- I am 22 (almost 23) years old. I have graduated from college, spent time volunteering overseas and am now back home again. I'm trying to hold back my independent "free-meandering" spirit for a while, at least until December.

Why December you may ask... well- My mother, who is 46 (almost 47) with four grown children and two grand children is pregnant and due in December. I promised to stick around until my newest sibling is born. (Sometimes I think God does these kinds of things- like have my mother get pregnant- for His own amusement) Now, by His grace she will be able to give birth to a healthy baby.

Some of my post in the days to come may stem from this fact.

Interesting conversation of the day:
In Vacation Bible School, 3rd and 4th graders

Me: Who can tell me what a slave is?

Little boy: Well, the only places that was big on slaves was Africa and Asia. But, you know Moses, well, his helper was making them all be slaves and stuff and Moses said, "No, don't do that" but they didn't listen so Martin Luther King went over there to Africa and he freed all the slaves. He was the only one that could do it!

Me: (speechless, confused, and trying not to laugh) Oh! ... well... I don't think I know that story!


Word of the day: "meandering"- yeah, we all know it means to aimlessly wander but... can you use that word 3x's today?

Love to all!
