What happens when you go so long with out making a post is that you don't even know where to begin.
Well, let's begin with today and work our way back a little bit to update you on the life of the Ishmaels here lately.
Today, I took my third midterm of the semester, and it marks the beginning of my spring break! I've been looking forward to this break for a while now! It would be even better if Searcy Schools (where Eddie works) had the same break. Oh well, I guess that's life.
So... what's on the agenda for my spring break?
Well I'll be in Jonesboro some, of course. There might be a quick trip to Cherokee one day. I will probably do a little shopping and scrapbooking. I plan to sleep in, clean, and if I have an ambitious day towards the end of the break, I might start studying for our therapy test that is the next week... but we'll see. ;-)
I'm not sure I've blogged about this yet, but Eddie is the new Youth Director at our church! This is way exciting for us! We've been able to make lots of changes and recruit more kids. We've got some amazing support from the parents of the youth members. We had a bake sale last weekend after Mass and raised almost $300! We got a grant from the Diocese and we've been able to buy a TV, DVD player, and a new youth program for Catholics called Life Teen. Also new to the Parish is the Youth Mass that we are having on the third Wednesday of every month. I can't wait to see how our new priest contributes to this event.
Well, I know that I'm missing a lot of updates that have happened in the last few months. I promise to be more dedicated to my loyal readers. Life is good.
If you know me very well, you know I don't quote scripture very often, if ever. But I would like to leave you with this... it will be on the back of our new youth group t-shirts:
Do not fear, for I am with you, Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you. Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
