Well I am currently working on getting my craft are of my room set up along with getting my walls ready to paint :D my dad gets home tomorrow and If I show him that they are ready to be done he might just give me the go ahead :D I have been feeling very craft lately and its so fun to me! I will say Pinterest is my best craft friend lol it gives me such inspiration, ideas, and time kill lol I spend a little too much time sometimes on there. I go to look up a new recipe or a good way to organize something and im on for an hour! Aaahhh must get better! :P well anyways I am back in sweet home Alaska! I have been loving it! Omw looooving it but lately I have been missing some of my IBC friends namely – Hannah B, Steffy, Erin, and Hannah T. After voxer messages with the latter 3, I am usually ok for a little while lol but Hannah B I can only FB as she is in the Far Off Land of Africa! :D miss her guts. Well when it comes to church man am I BUSY! From church, and then Sunday school and now learning the signs for the music at camp which I really need to start on and kids prayer tomorrow! Oh man that reminds me I need to make a few phone calls! Well I am the assistant Sunday School director and I have been helping the director a lot. She is busy with her family as her son just had a surgery I have been left with a lot to help out with which I actually love because it gives me lots of experience and I can always call her right up! I love it and I know my church appreciates my help which in turn makes me happy that I can be so helpful. Also , back track, while at IBC I was the soundman…woman whatever I don’t care lol and I didt it for chorale and omw I miss it but chorale tour was the bomb . com! We went to so many places and I got to go to Arkansas and Texas for the first time! And the Hunger games series was on a rampage where you could walk through the bus and find atleast 5-7 people reading them. I had already read them before when they were fairly new but I had forgotten a lot of the order of things or what happened so I found myself downloading it onto my Kindle app lol man they were just as good the first time since I had forgotten some pieces and I know a lot of people say they aren’t good and are a gateway into worse things but I find it similar to Greek culture when Spartans trained from a childhood and the rebellion and the fight, really it’s just another book about war and rebelling against the restrictions and horrible things they put on the children. Anyways, I don’t think they are horrible but some of the violent things were a bit graphic but it’s a book and in English class were supposed to be descriptive so I definitely think its more for older teens/young adults and not preteens. Anyways sorry have to be on the defensive because of some laws or religious debaters… anyways – Chorale tour was amazing and full of experiences, and the a/c would go out after like 3-5 hrs into the bus ride omw so hot and we all know rosie HATES HEAT! Anyways then after, I went to King’s Island with tyler, megan, and chris…. SOOO FUNN! Sooo fun, I loved it and I love roller coasters :D went on my first wooden one and it was by far by favorite and since we went during the week, it was like the wait was never more than 15 minutes and that was on the main rides. I smile and laugh inside when I think about it because on the rides instead of screaming I would like start laughing so hard like it was funny or something hahaha it was my response to fear or excitement or the mix or the butterflys I don't know lol it was great. Then I came home and saw my amazing nephews and had movie night with the girls and a game night with my parents and omw my friend corey got the Holy Ghost and it was so great seeing the church again and everything. Weird to not be a part of the youth when there was youth Sunday and I didn’t have to get up and do anything haha well im excited for camp, I should be getting my IBC booth stuff soon and be able to set that up at camp : ) and then also im helping run sound which is super exciting and I then Sunday school for camp is going to be crazy fun which im helping a lot with : ) well I better get back to cleaning! Really quick tho, in march over spring break I went to Montana and was on a mission trip to Wolf Point and it was so kewl to be able to be used in that place from helping setup the sound for services and then with tyler helping organize a childrens service and with Jesus is our Superhero as a favorite song and lessons about baptism and oneness of God, we were really able to help the kids and a couple of the older kids these 2 boys got baptized, it was awesome! I will never forget them. I have been wanting to write them some letters and haven’t yet but hopefully soon! Well back to workin in my room :D rm
This book is a non-fiction story of Jennifer Grant and her life and the adoption of her 2 year old daughter, Mia. The story tells of what lead Jennifer to adoption and the process. She tells of her struggles with the adoptions process because there is a lot of paperwork and waiting. Her struggle with learning patience because she was very excited and then having so much paperwork and people and different legal departments and there was so much that had to be done before they could have their baby come home. She told of her struggle of the ups and downs of waiting and helping her birth children get ready for a baby sister that would be different than them. She also gave tips for other families who are thinking about adoption and who should or shouldn’t adopt.
I have really started thinking about adopting and foster care. I love children and would love to have my own but at the same time I don’t need them to be my own. I believe that I could share my love with the children of this world that don’t have parents or a family and this book helped me realize I really would love to learn more about this and see if this can become a reality for me. Jennifer Grant wrote a beautiful story about her love for Mia and told her struggles so honestly and gave us an inside view on the realities of adoption, the big one being the wait for your child. I loved the book. I enjoyed reading it. It was suspense or a book that you couldn’t put down, which was hard for me because I am not used to that so it took me much longer to read, especially with the holidays but I was happy when I finished it and saw all the resources for more books on adoption. I highly recommend this book for nonfiction, life stories, and mommy book people! Ok so here i am. Back in indy, doing sound for chorale, IBC live recording for 2012 pertty much done, yeah its a new yr btw, and life is gettin pretty deep and rough for those around me and back home. Lord help me to pray more get more time so i may pray.
Well i dont remember if i posted about what happened with me coming back but basically my i was not enjoying my time at IBC and it just didnt seem like what i had hoped it to be. it was hot, i didnt have a car or job, i wasnt finding lots of great close friends, i didnt find any like groups or clubs or things to get involved with that i felt really truly welcomed and knowledgable in. example is i am still in way begginners stage of piano, voice, sound, anything. then i felt kind of left out of when people would go record stuff, write songs, etc. what i should have done was used my time more wisely and used the time to invest in the burden God gave me for Ak, fairbanks and minto to be specific, and read my Bible and other books and then also, really spent time with piano, but it was hard bcuz i always stuck to my room, i didnt have a car and most of my friends had jobs so those who did have cars and then we all have no money kind of idea and since i didnt have a job either it wasnt like i could just say hey ill put gas in your car can i borrow your car for a bit, plus girls are more territorial when it comes to their car but im the same way so i understand so it just depends on the person. anyways fact was i had some good times but when there wasnt anything going on i had a hard time missing family, felt trapped in a dorm room and just wanted to be home in the cold and familiar place that i knew had things i could depend on in the uncertainty of this place. Then i got asked to be IBC Chorale sound person, i run and help setup the equip and its a big job and super important and i decided that it was an open door that God wanted me to go thru and so i accepted it knowing that i would need to come back and fulfill one more semester and summer tour before coming back to AK. my pastor and i were kind of disappointed with all the plans we had started to make but know that life isnt so short i cant take another 5 months and do this thing which could effect many ministries in AK. I pray that it does. Anyways, now that i have said all that :) i am back in indy and did recording a couple weeks ago and that was pretty much amazing and so intense with the sound but awesome. :) then this week is secret valentines and the banquet is on mon and i dont know if i want to wear the red dressi bought around Christmas time or if i can find another one... merh i asked Tyler Reid my sound buddy to go with me :) im excited i think we will have a good time. :) then my secret valentine is gonna get some awesome stuff just saying a creepy card and furry porcupine thing lol we dropped off at his work and then a jumbo card the other day and i just finished drawing a hulk thing that is kind of big and so much fun i am kind of proud of it lol. I had a drum lesson today and Lord help me because i do not know if i can get the coordination of the drums lol its gonna be interesting for sure :P oh and i have a piano lesson tomorow.... hmmm..... and im glad my first class is canceled and then an exciting chapel that i get to run sound for but i feel like its gonna be really good :) which is good cuz i really need it. my room is a mess and driving me nuts and i have to fold and hang clothes and out stuff back and ugh just not feeling like it and then there is some good ol hmwk due :) yay atleast im over the cold from earlier this week :) btw i love the white rice and egg rolls from great wall a chinise restaurant down the road and i feel pretty proud i have recently figured out how to spell restaurant and not getting it mixed up anymore :D yay rosie :P i need to go to bed but i hope this was a good little speel sp hello :) well life has been crazy and lets just say i have been busy and quite confused with the things of life but now that that is all taken care of life is getting better :) basically in aug school was starting and i was loving life having a good time and getting into the groove of life on my own:) then in september i had.....lol me and my dad would call it an epiphany :) basically God sent me here for a reason right? well i came here and i now know i am here to learn good spiritual disciplines and read my Bible more and get that learned and then also He sent me here to tell me that i am called to Alaska....not the big crazy place i was thinking but alaska is pretty crazy and exotic to alot of ppl and i know people and i understand most of alaskan culture and i know people and it will be headstart on the whole ministry thing :) i truly love God and i want to do His will for my life meaning i love God and because i love Him i want to do good things for Him and apart of that is His will :) i went to Genereal Conference this last week and it was really awesome :) i thought it was really kewl and i got Bro Bernard's new book called On being Pentecostal, i am very excited to read it :) singing in the choir was really kewl and meeting choir people from gateway was kewl :) Also, i got to see my Pastor which was good and we had a little meeting and it was really good and helped me finalize my decision in going home. i am so ready to go home, idk i am homesick but i am still called home and i want to be there for my nephews and i am definitely a more hands on learner. But i am still going to go to college when i get back like i want to go back for nursing and stuff and maybe study some music and airplane mechanics on the side :) that and all the while helping in the childrens ministry at church - yay :D also i want to help with the rifle team at my high school, i loved it so much :) hay fest and fall fest are coming up well must get to bed and hopefully will do better on my blogging but alas i am an epic fail on these kind of things :P btw i am going to try to start doing book reviews as a way of getting free books, how kewl is that :)
Well I have been busy with life trying to get my classes in order which I have been really not doing and procrastinating with because I was more like trying to make friends and having tons of fun lol this last week was kind of hard to be away from home because there was no one here except my awesome friend Aaron and I had no one that I could be completely real with and talk to without having to have a whole speech because it needed a background but ppl at home know me and I was used to a lot of “everyone loves Rosie!” and here no one knows Rosie J but it is okay because this weekend I made some really good friends! We joked that we were having a great night and that we were all in the “Friend Zone” lol so that was kewlJ they have the canals downtown that are just amazing to walk around and we go there often. Aaron had mentioned them before and I had thought of kewl that’s a nice place to go every once in a while…. Nope I have been there at least 3 times now and the plan is to go again on thurs lol Some of my friends that I have made besides my awesome roommate Connor or my awesome suitemates Neann and autumn J - there is this guy Cody who has a really kewl red hummer who I think is definitely going to be the next Cortt chavis J and then there is josh Odell who just cracks me up with his voices and his driving is fun, then there is Isaac who is this black dude that I thought was going to be this obnoxious immature guy in class and then we hung out and now I just think he is great and hilarious J also Isaac and Cody are roommates with Marcus and gentry, I haven’t really hung with gentry but we went out with Marcus and I talked with him only a little but anyways Cody can sing and plays a few different instruments like guitar and keyboard and is learning them like more or getting better and then Isaac plays organ and keyboard like amazingly J and then Marcus plays the base and gentry plays the drums and I am publicly on this blog predicting what could be the next Royal tailor! They have a whole band setup with amps for the diff instruments lol like completely setup in their living room and they jam often I guess and then Isaac is very likely to be the PRAISE organ player and maybe the keyboard. Anyways J then there is Josh, Josh Nathan and Jamin, we had a great night at Olive Garden on Sunday after church and had the awesome waiter Joe! He was a great server I would go back to Olive Garden just for Joe lol anyways after we headed over to kill time before curfew at Starbucks sand ended up being able to witness to a couple dudes and it was so kewl not only were we able to pull together and witness but we were able to learn some stuff about each other and some new ways of explaining things like the godhead is like water - there is water, steam, and ice but it is always water so I thought that was really great J then I made friends with Danielle and she is from Indiana and she is pretty fun and Greta and i don’t know why but I always think Mary but now I can’t remember her name lol and that reminds me of the webs J they are students here but they are married! So bro Anderson goes over and says – everyone this is Mary and she is married J so that means no hitting on her or Matthew Webb J and we all clapped and it was kind of cute … I think that’s his name lol anyway life has been good and my classes are fun and interesting and I have the student thoughts link to share some of the things I have to write or things like notes from our English brainstorming class which can be pretty kewl and interesting like he makes u think which is kewl J well we anointed our suite tonight and it just makes me feel so blessed and I have peace and I just feel like angels are just chillin and hanging out in our rooms and it is a pretty awesome feeling J
