Hey all!
Bobby’s wedding was pretty cool. A little weird this was the first CLBI wedding that I have been to that I did not know a ton of people. Kirstin and her bau Murry were of course there but they were MCs so Ana and I ended up sitting at a table full of strangers. It was good thought the people we were staying with work on Native Education programming so it was pretty interesting and kinda up my ally. My allergies also picked this weekend to go into high gear, so for the past six days I have been popping pills flushing my eyes with drops and I am still sneezing and blowing my nose every two seconds and my eyes more closely resemble radishes. The weird thing is we just got a truck load of 201 hanging flower baskets they are all stashed away downstairs but that is the only place I can actually breath and escape the nagging desire to use coat hangers on my eyes. Weird.
Confirmation is this Sunday. On eof the six countermands decided that she is not entirely ready to stand in front of the church and declare that she does in fact believe in Jesus. This I think is a good thing, because option B would be to stand up there and lie and that really doing no one a favor no matter how her father feels about it. I think with giving her permission to say no and accept her decision but still want to meet with her and walk with her though this she feels a little more accepted by the church. She does not seem so threatened that we just want to shape her and mold her into our version of who we think she should be. I hope she does see that God has a plan for her and that who she is is who God desires her to be but in a relationship with him.
I drove myslef crazy spending hours in the Christian book store looking for some sort of appropriate book to give the other five. I felt this pressure like this was going to be the only Christian book they may ever come in contact with and they are in grade eight so if by chance they do even want to crack the binding it had better be a gooder. I realize this is retarded so I took great comfort in the advise that Ana gave me; that It’s ok of they are not into it now. Some day they may just may be in a rough spot and out of the blue pull down the book they got in confirmation and God will be the one speaking to them not the words so I just have to go with my gut. Well more or less that’s what she said anyway I may have added my own interpretation but whatever.
Anyway kids hope all is well in your perspective corners of the world. Peace
