Birds

bird_v-flying

While I was driving home from school the other evening I saw birds flying and I thought what amazing creatures.  If the bird that is leading gets tired or just needs to fall back another bird will come and jump up and take his place.  Could you imagine, if we were tired, or hurting or just needed to take a break and someone jumped in for us.  That would be awesome.   If we could just be birds, or as cool as birds!!

 

“Dear God make me a bird so I can fly far far away!”

Ibuprofen

ibuprofen_64

While I had a massive migraine yesterday I was attempting to drive down the road when i saw a homeless man sitting on the corner.  I then started thinking to myself, I wonder if homeless people get to get some Tylenol or ibuprofen when they get headaches.  Then it escalated to, “I wonder if people in third world countries have medicine for headaches?”  “Maybe they use herbs!”, “I wonder who thought to take an herb first for a headache?”  Finally my brain started to really hurt, worse than before, and I just thanked Jesus that I did have Ibuprofen when I have headaches. 

Today, it’s weird to think that some people don’t have what we think is a necessity.  I would probably go crazy if I didn’t have Tylenol when I got a headache. Just to think, what would I do if I grew up not even knowing Tylenol was around?  hhmmm…it’s kind of weird to think about things like that.

Little Women

I can’t wait till Leilani is older and she can do this cute little book.  I remember when Suzanne showed me her older one and then she posted something about it on her blog.  This is so cute, and it’s always good for little girls to know how to behave properly.  It just seems like such a cute book. 

 

Until Next Time….

The past few months

So I've been in school for 3 weeks now and It’s amazing.  I love it so much, the interaction with adults, the learning.  I feel like I am finally being useful.  (I know staying at home is being useful but I just started feeling unmotivated and maybe even a little worthless.)  I know it sounds dumb!  Anyways, I’ve gotten A’s on everything I’ve done so far, so I’m feeling pretty good.  Math word problems suck but hey it’s only a section of a chapter.  Psychology is really interesting. I learn a lot of things I don’t really agree with but it’s okay I have to take what is good and leave what is not.  Human services…I love that class, it is so interesting, I am even thinking about majoring in Social Work, but I can’t go to William Jessup with that major so I might have to stay with Psych. if I want to go to that private college.  I have to make an appointment with the advisors there and maybe they will be able to help me, with which direction I should go for what I want to do. 

I love leading the care team at church, it gets overwhelming sometimes but just knowing I am helping someone makes it all worthwhile.  We just got done collecting backpacks for Foster Kids and my goal was 50 and we have more than that.   Thank you Jesus.  Right now I’m trying to get a harvest carnival for Halloween put together, so I’m praying for enough help so the kids don’t have to get candy from houses they can come and do activities at the church. 

I’ve been pretty busy, but I feel good.  I still have my emotional days, but I think it’s just cause I am Amber and that’s how it is. 

I’m going to try to write on this thing at least once a week.  I miss blogging…

 

 

Until Next Time!!!
