it's been a good week! mary & i have been trying to iron out details for the day camp adult and kid nutrition classes that start next week. i'll be doing 2 rotations of the kids' class for 2 thursdays. that'll be fun! i told them that public speaking isn't my cup of tea, but i'd love to do it. i've learned a lot more by observing mary and i ask her a lot of questions.
i'm learning a lot of things that i know can help me in my future career but could help fresno, as well. the urban gardening program here is so good! and they have developed a watering system that uses harvested rainwater. this community might not have much to work with, but they're very resourceful.
i went thrifting on monday. i got loooots of awesome stuff and spent less than $40 :) i went grocery shopping & walking at a park (they built a park smack dab in the middle of a metropolis! there's geese and everything!). i went to the weight loss support group and bible study. we went out to eat a couple times. i OVERate last night, but i did not feel bad about it. haha.
i'm reading an amazing book. it's called "compassion: a reflection on the christian life". it's made me think a lot, which i like to do. haha. but really, it's making me look at the christian life through a microscope, getting down to the nitty gritty of it. the heart of it. what it should look like; how it should play out in such a broken world. it's convicting and encouraging at the same time...i hope to get it done by the end of the weekend. i've got 2 other books to read!
tonight is red, white and BOOM! it's a huge, well-known fireworks show here in columbus. i'm not sure where we will be watching it from, but it's supposed to be chaotic and fantastic! i'm excited :) i LOVE fireworks! i'm sure i'll take some sweet pictures.
looking forward to the next 3 weeks!
i love you all. i mean it from the bottom of my heart. i'm so thankful for a supportive community of family and friends.
