So, I don't really have anything specific that this post is about. Which means that it'll be random, and let's remember that random isn't a bad thing.. not a bad thing at all(:
I'll just fill you guys in on what's gone on since my last post.....
Saturday my family and I were shopping for some things for Kenya. I needed shoes since every pair of my shoes are either flats, or converse. And my dad needed some dress clothes since he's going to be preaching at the pastors conference multiple times. We started off at DSW for shoes [my dad needed shoes also]. I personally don't like tennis shoes, But for Kenya i have to have them. So one of my sisters [Krysta-the 11 yr old.] asked me if some white shoes would work. And i responded "No, cause white in Kenya doesn't mix." In my head the thought process was because everywhere you go there's dirt!, and so the white would get really dirty. But of course my other sister [Haley-she's 9.] took that completely different than how i meant it. So she starts busting out laughing!! She was laughing so hard that old people were looking at her weird!! Then she explains rather loudly to Krysta [across half of the store] that the reason white in Kenya doesn't mix is because everyone in Kenya is black!! It was the funniest thing I've experienced since i heard Hiroki's Yoshi laugh!!! The looks on every one's face that was around us were truly priceless!! Most definitely a Kodak moment :D But long story short for that adventure we did find some shoes!
Then later that evening my dad told me that I had to check all the fluids in his car- Since I've started driving he puts all of the stupid, simple, yet annoying jobs in my responsibility. Aka getting gas and checking the oil, power steering, brake, and transmission fluids.- So i went out to do it. The engine oil was a little less than a quart low, so i added some. Then all of the other fluids were fine. This seemed like a pretty normal check up for the lil car he just got. But i was mistaken, oh so mistaken. I went to start the car so it could get to operating temperature and then i would be able to check transmission fluid. Ten-ish minutes passed then i started to check it. It looked fine the first time, but you're supposed to check it 2-3 times. On my third time of checking it, it still looked good. So i was putting the long thing [can't remember the name] back in the pipe and i accidentally touched it to the edge of the battery connector. So it made this piercing, shocking, crackling, sparking sound. There were sparks everywhere!! And so the thing that started out to be about two full feet long all-of-the-sudden turned bright orange- cause it was so hot- and then just melted off and fell onto the engine [still bright orange!]. After everything had melted off the thing was maybe 5 inches!!!! It was the scariest- yet coolest- things EVER!!!
Then Sunday was a pretty legit Sunday. Except that I ate lunch with Alex Perezillll. Which just made me realize how much he has fallen. Kinda depressing, but made me more aware of what is happening to my generation. Cause most of the time I notice that people aren't at Paradigm, or that I haven't seen them on Sundays. But i never see them outside of those settings. I never see them to realize and see the change that they've made. It also made me appreciate the leadership team that we have, that are strong and here to stay, even more. Then Kenya meeting. Then small groups with Nate 'n' Trish.
Monday was crap.
Tuesday was borderline okay but leaning towards the crap category.
Wednesday was great.
And today [Thursday] My mom got her wisdom teeth cut out. Painful, yes. But the rest of today has been just sitting around at home getting her stuff that she needs- aka water and pain killers. Then here i sit, blogging it up.
I guess that's the end for now..
But please be praying for me, cause I'm not doing to great on the preparation-ing for Kenya stuff.
Thanks(:
