Ummm... Let's See...

I've been ignoring my blog this month. And it's not even that I have been too busy... just too lazy...

So... Update:

1. I found an old blog that I started about 4 years ago. It was really funny. But it reminded me of some 'goals' I had for myself. Spirit West Coast anyone?? I have never been...

2. I have major foot-in-mouth disease. Not only did I announce that my coworker had a sex change (which... she did not), but people now think I am set to get married on my birthday. Don't ask.

3. I saw Jack Black today. In a salon. Which would explain the foil in his hair.

4. Oh! and the only real update... I will be going to a Mark Driscoll conference on Saturday. SWEET!


The End

Old Hobbies Become New Tools

I realized there has been something pretty big on the horizon that I have been forgetting to update on!

Before my Christmas break, I had this idea to make something for the girls we meet on the street. Something that would make them feel extra special, especially when they thought of the time and effort put into the gift. Then, on facebook, I came across a photo album of a ministry that reaches out to men and women in the adult industry. They were preparing Christmas gifts and one things they were doing is making scarves!

"Wait a minute," I thought. "I know how to make scarves too!"

And so it began. Crocheting. Crocheting. Crocheting. I am not as far ahead as I would like to have been by now, but even still, with the little time I've had, I've been able to make quite a few so far! See??



Ok Ok so the picture is a little silly... but you get the idea... A LOT OF SCARVES! Yay!

In the process, a friend of mine has been praying for quite a while about wanting to start a crocheting/knitting class type party where people can learn how to crochet. It would also serve as a way to minister to those who are learning. After a few months of praying, she finally expressed what was on her heart to her sister... the same day that I told her sister about my project of making scarves. Coincidence?? I think not.

Lord thank you for making this all about you and leading your people to love others. Thank you for using the strange quicks we have to become something beautiful for You!
