This is who I am....

Here I am, struggling and happy and living the life. Someone once said that God just wants us to live our lives out in obscurity, simply serving Him. Perhaps this is true. I have so many goals, so many things to accomplish, that it's overwhelming at times. The prominent truth that keeps pounding in my head is that "it not about me, it's about Him." Everything I say or do, must be about Christ. Otherwise it is worthless.
I got three rejections in the mail last week. Why do I pay people to send back my stories with a little note that says, "We're sorry but...." (Sigh) At least, they're not rejecting me, just my laborious efforts in storymaking.
So this week lies before me. I'm helping with Bible School at our church. Yes, even in Germany, we still have Bible School. Three nights of labor and fun and hopefully children accepting Christ. I did when I was little....maybe they will too. Also have piano lessons this week probably....and another babysitting job. That doesn't thrill me, but it makes me a little money.
I've got a Bible course all lined up to take and maybe teaching English as a foreign language. English is the only language I most likely will ever master. I mean, I know German, and a smattering of Spanish, but English is a piece of pie with ice cream compared to those languages.
Mom and I sold some stuff at a yard sale on Saturday with two other ladies from the church. Whew! Reminder to self: never again rise at 5:45 to go and have your stuff picked over and people trying to rob you blind and get something for nothing. I was never so glad to see the end of an affair in my life!
Never again.

Later,
