so as most of you probably already know, i love missions of any sort. when i graduate from pharmacy school i want to go on medical missions trips. i went on alternative spring break last year and also went to brazil for 10 days and they were both so incredible. i was going to go back this year but the dates got changed so i will already be in summer classes. once i found out that i would be going yet another summer without a mission trip i started looking towards summer of 2011. pharmacy school does not have summer classes. there are a few along the way that you can take but i won't be doing that :) church of the highlands normally has a mission trip to africa every summer and i really just felt God lay that on my heart. its always pretty expensive but God showed that money was no option when it came to paying for brazil so that is not even one of my worries. i am and will be doing things in the meantime to prepare both my heart and my bank account. i will share one of those things shortly (after i give stacie her birthday present.) i just know that somehow some way i will be in africa next summer if thats where the Lord continues to lead me. please keep me in your prayers as i continue on this journey.
i finished up my finals on friday. thank goodness. but then i had to wor 20 hours this weekend. now i have a one week break in between today and going to the beach with josh's family which i cannot wait for. during that one week i have a list of things to get done. i bought a fabulous armoire at the thrift store (the best) but right now it is a gross yellow-ish color so i need it to be black and awesome and to have new curtains on the doors of it. i also picked up a wrought iron stool off my neighbors curb and i need to paint it. i have already recovered and repadded it but it still needs some work. the last thing is my tv stand. it brown and needs to be black.
so here is my list:
*paint armoire
*sew curtains
*paint stool
*paint tv stand
i will post before and afters when everything is done. pray the rain doesnt ruin my plans.
i also think that my lola cat is going to be a mommy. i am not 100% sure but im like 90%. shes been acting strange in both good and bad ways. shes been very very snuggly but then shes peed in the bathtub like 3 times. shes very weird but hopefully she is with child :) having little kittens for a few weeks would be so much fun. so if you know anyone who wants one i will keep you posted.
p.s. congrats to annilee! i cannot wait to meet baby number 2!
