Super Summer '10 (Transformed)

Wow. Where do I even begin? There's so much to say. So don't be surprised if this post gets out late.

Well, for a short summary, I have been transformed.

God did it again. He changed my heart, attitude, and they way I think. He got me out of my comfort zone. At home, I was becoming complacent, and starting to fall. But I'm now back up. I'm watching what I do and say. I try to think positive. One way the devil has been trying to distract me is by my thoughts. I can't always think straight. But now I have a better handle in things.

How I got out of my comfort zone. I worshiped like never before. I was really getting into it. I also socialized. And if you knew me, I'm a rather quiet person. I became independent. I didn't really stick with my group; I have gone to Super Summer before. I had a real awesome time.

The speaker, Jamie Tickle, was very good. The Rush of Fools rocked. I ate breakfast with Kevin and I think I lunch with the lead singer Wes! Haha I still cannot get over the fact that I met the ROF.

I love the Trinity Baptist Church people! They are so amazing!

Now today there are still some struggles of temptation and old ways, but with God, anything is possible.

I am also applying to go to Japan!

That's all I can think of to write right now. So I might just write more another time.

Seriously Sincere,

The Step Up.

Hello!

Well, I have my first follower. I'm syked. Now for some minor updates. Soon...VERY soon, I will be teaching 2nd graders. Wow. Yeah, so I need some prayer for that. I've made all of the decor and planing all of the lessons. I feel... well I feel important! I'm making this real simple for my assistants. Wow, I have assistants. Don't worry, I locked up my ego. So I won't brag too much or sound like... um...like I seriously know what I'm doing or have done this before. Because I haven't. This is another step up on God's ladder. Yay!

As you know, I have been very occupied with the VBS stuff. That means I've miss some of my prayer and quiet time. But, thank God, I will be going to Super Summer! A week to get away from some of the stress in life and to focus on what God wants me to do. I have lost sight of what I've been wanting to do in life. I know what I (currently) want to do. Since Christina has came back from her trip to Japan, I've been sorta re-inspired to go. So it's a big decision. I'm about 90% sure I'll go. I've been really praying about it. So I hope you will pray for me to. I've never been out of the country. Anyhoo, I will leave it at that. I must get back to the VBS project.

Seriously Sincere,

Dani

Hi! I know it's been a little while since the last post, but I've been really busy with VBS in Fredonia and preparing for ours. Haha.

Okay, recently, I have been in Fredonia. So far, I've only gone 2 nights. A girl likes me! Ahhhh!!!! I'm so happy! She said that I rocked more than her brother! And that she wishes that she had a sister like me! Seriously, I haven't really done much there, but hey, she thinks I'm cool! That's the first time a kid has really adored me. I've met people where the are just a kid person. I've always wanted to be that way. God has answered a prayer!! :)

So anyway, Fredonia has been real great. The kids are good. Getting to see Megan! That's real awesome. The theme is Saddle Ridge Ranch. I have experience this VBS a month ago on the Weir Mission Trip. We went to Parsons. So when I teach 2nd grade next week, I'll have it all down! Haha maybe. But when all of the VBS is over, I'll be sick of Saddle Ridge Ranch! Haha. I don't mean to be a tumble weed, but, cowboy themed stuff isn't my thing. I have no cowboy/girl stuff to wear. So I figured out that I could just draw longhorns and stick them on my hat or something. Haha!

VBS in Cville is next week. I'm so busy prepping! What did I get myself into! Haha. I'm not complaining. But I bet the hair on my knuckles that it will be awesome!

More updates later...when I have the time!
