It's almost 2pm January 20, 2008. This means that it has been two hours since we received with hopeful joy Barak Obama as the next President. I am excited to see what he chooses to focus on and do as the new Chief of our country. Everyone knows that I am an America Lover. Tears come to my eyes when I hear patriotic songs. I dream of what could happen in America.. and play my part in Marion, Indiana. I'm pumped that African Americans can see what Obama has done and have that give them the umph to overcome anything they think is between them and their dreams. Yeah, I was sad to see Bush hear his last Hail to the Chief song.. but excited to see Obama take his new place. Btw, his girls are SUPER cute! ... I wait expectantly for what's to come!
On another note.. I am beat up like to the core. I have been tired for what seems like weeks straight.. its only been 3 weeks but it seems like forever. I am working too often and my classes are a lot harder. Today.. I got my first D on a quiz. Man, that sucks. I mean it wasn't surprising, but yeah me and biology don't get along so well... add to that me and no time.. and waaalaaa I get a poor grade. I keep contemplating putting in my two weeks notice since I feel like it isn't going to get better, but I so love the 10 clients I am working with. Like I think I would have to go through the grieving process of not getting to see them if I quit which means I hang on. This week I am scheduled to work 33.5 hours on top of what I am doing in school. It's funny, I pray about God allowing me to get by with less sleep, and God doesn't agree with me. He tells me I need sleep, and then I try to go without and I have auras. Oh, life. I am enjoying my classes for the most part. I am also enjoying the start of my term as Social Work Club President. And when I sit back and think about it. I would keep myself busy even if I didn't work, but I'm not sure I'd be this busy.
My best friend gets to go to France in a little over a month, and I am having fun being her cheerleader. It's probably difficult being on the receiving end because I am confident that God will provide the monetary funds to get her to France even when it doesn't seem possible for her. (If you feel lead to give money to her, she's going with YWAM in March. :) )
"I have a dream..." I've been pondering MLK's life. I find him inspiring. I think his life and what he did was tight. I like that he is like Moses in that he got sick before he went up to give a speech. Pepto Bismal helped him out.. haha. I love how God uses people. I have a dream that I shared a while back that God has done some revisions on and given me a more solid picture. As he continues to open doors I'll share. right now, I am just working on getting involved with the Teen Pregnancy scene.
Yeah so some Prayer Requests:
-I would say NO when NO is needed.
-I would be able to quit my job if that is what I need to do.
-I would listen and follow waht God wants me to do even in the little things.. like a hug.
-My faith would be increased as God opens doors.
I love you all, and I thank you for following my life journey. LIfe is good in Marion. I'm just a little tired right now. :P

Hey Kellie! I'm praying for you.
Can you just cut back on hrs rather than quit entirely? You have got a huge load your carrying right now. what a life stretching experience. No butt prints in the sands of time for your girl!! I'm very proud of you and you have inspired me today.
Proverbs 4-
5 Get wisdom, get understanding;
do not forget my words or swerve from them.
6 Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you;
love her, and she will watch over you.
7 Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
Though it cost all you have, [a] get understanding.
8 Esteem her, and she will exalt you;
embrace her, and she will honor you.
9 She will set a garland of grace on your head
and present you with a crown of splendor."
10 Listen, my son, accept what I say,
and the years of your life will be many.
11 I guide you in the way of wisdom
and lead you along straight paths.
12 When you walk, your steps will not be hampered;
when you run, you will not stumble.
13 Hold on to instruction, do not let it go;
guard it well, for it is your life.
14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked
or walk in the way of evil men.
15 Avoid it, do not travel on it;
turn from it and go on your way.
16 For they cannot sleep till they do evil;
they are robbed of slumber till they make someone fall.
17 They eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.
18 The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn,
shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
19 But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness;
they do not know what makes them stumble.
20 My son, pay attention to what I say;
listen closely to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them
and health to a man's whole body.
23 Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life.
24 Put away perversity from your mouth;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead,
fix your gaze directly before you.
26 Make level [b] paths for your feet
and take only ways that are firm.
27 Do not swerve to the right or the left;
keep your foot from evil.
With Love, Uncle Jon :-)
