there is something good about Mondays. Whatever you don't like what you did last week, it feels like you have a chance to do it better this week. That's what I like about Mondays. I can see my task list and know that I have a chance to do things better this week. That doesn't mean I will, it just means I have the chance. This should be a busy week for me, but it will be fun...i hope

i think i have spent too much money lately, and now I am going to have to be extra cautious with my funds. I might even put off my surgery a month or so because I am not sure how much it might cost. Oh well...The reason i am so low on money, is because i decided to just pay off my credit card debt which was becoming substantial. I may have cleaned myself out, but I am clean in that area. It feels good. I still had a lot of my school bill on that card, and it felt good to get it off. I should just cut the thing up, but it is nice to have for emergencies or ebay....haha!

yesterday was a fun time at church, but I felt like I didn't make a good connection with the students like i normally do. I was kinda busy in the morning, and I wasn't able to go out with them afterward. Oh well, i have plans to visit with many of them later this week.

It is funny, but I always used to say that I didn't really like kids, but I have really changed on all of that. I really enjoy these students. It seems like the more I kinda grow up, the more i care for them and have interest in their lives. I am still maybe a little too close to their age...sometimes they forget that i am not just one of their buddies. Anyways, the kids are really starting to trust me and respond to me and they are opening themselves up to me, which makes all this ministry seem overly worthwhile. God is teaching me all sorts of lessons here at Harvester, and I am lucky to be gaining such experiences...things would just be a little easier if these people weren't so crazy...
