1. Shin's doing well. He's getting the hang of things, keeping a positive attitude, and by the grace of God, I am too.
2. I made a 78 on my first TESOL final. That's like the worst grade I've ever made... I'm planning to keep up with the next course a little better. :-)
3. My Mary Kay party went great! I knew once I stopped fretting and just let God handle the attendance, that things would go much smoother. And they did!
4. My sister's coming on Friday night and she's staying a whole week and I'm SO excited!!!
5. India Child Sponsorship is still coming along well. It's so good to have a few people on board who really care.
6. I'm enjoying this Lent. I've given up TV. For anyone keeping score, we don't own a TV, but that hasn't stopped me from watching Conan, Castle, Saturday Night Live, New Girl, Psych, Daily Show, Colbert Report, and Once Upon a Time... What HAS stopped me from watching them is the realization that I spend at least 8 hours a week just numbing my brain. So, in an effort to spend my time more engaged in and aware of the life Christ has given me, I cut out all TV.
7. I'm reading a YouVersion (Bible) app 40 day Lent plan. It's walking me through the life of Jesus. I've basically come to realize I understand very little about the life of Jesus.
Can you recommend a book I can read to give me some of the historical background? I feel like His parables, teachings, and miracles should REALLY blow my mind, but most of them go over my head or seem normal because I've read them so much.
Please comment or email suggestions! Thanks.
1. good! glad y'all are making it. we've gotta come up and eat sometime. :)
ReplyDelete2. it's ok, don't beat yourself up! you're a busy girl. not saying it's "ok" to make poor grades, but if that's the worst you've ever done, esp with all you've got going on right now, i'd say you're doing pretty good.
3. it was so fun to see you! i hated that i couldn't stay longer than i did.
4. sisters are the best!
5. great news!
6. it's amazing how you can get around having cable/not having a tv. we do a lot of netflixing and hulu...haven't cut back for lent, but HAVE cut back nonetheless. it is definitely mind numbing.
7. i have the YouVersion app, but find that i use the Logos app more. I don't have a book to recommend for historical background...but i've found that i really like the "understandability" of the New Century Version translation of the Bible.
hope to see you soon!!
