So I got my hepatitis shot today and then I almost fainted and it was awkward. But I survived! And I didn’t even need the meningitis or tetanus, cause I already had them!
But now how the heck am I going to survive three more shots tomorrow…?
unkaglen asked: Thanks following my Unka Glen blog. You just know how to get it done, don't ya? You're amazing, ya know it? Like, so good. Am I following you back? Yes. Is your blog kicking out the jams? Yes! Is it funky fresh? Without a doubt. Am I using catch phrases from the 90's? Unfortunately.

I’ve come to the conclusion that teaching Pre-K is like babysitting 20 kids all at once and having to teach them letters, words, and numbers. I don’t understand how my mother does this everyday.
All of this that we have- freedom, shelter, family, comfort- has to count for something right? How can it just be for us to enjoy when we didn’t deserve it in the first place? It doesn’t make sense to me. Yes, it’s because of God’s grace. But how can we just take that grace as if we had any more right to it than someone who doesn’t have what we have?
That’s why I am convinced that it would be...

Every single day the question comes up again about how I’m going to do this because I’m so not cut out for it. But then I remember Moses. I remember how God didn’t make it about Moses’s ability or inability. It was just about God’s great power.
So it’s really not about me at all. It’s about Him getting the glory through me. And I am so unqualified for...

What a concept. It isn’t, “I lay down and slept because that’s just what people do” or even “that’s how the Lord designed us,” no.

The more I think about it, the more I realize how off the world is. How blatantly wrong, yet we sometimes don’t even question it and we let it become mingled with our walk with God. For example, flirting and crushes. So many magazines explain how to get a guy to notice you, but when you really think about it, it’s sort of dishonest and manipulative. Let a guy notice you for who you...

I see people making an idol of their future spouse and being completely consumed with getting married it literally just irks me.
Why waste all my time daydreaming and setting my heart on tomorrow, when God’s desire for me is to simply be faithful and obedient to where He has me and what He’s calling me to today?
Yes, I want to get married someday; that would be beautiful and such...

Thought I’d put this here just in case. This is my team’s fundraising website. My mission funds are due today and I still need about $1000.

If you know anyone that would be interested in being a mission supporter, pass this on to them...

I keep dreaming that I’m on a plane and it takes forever to take off and so eventually I get off for something but by the time I get back it’s gone and it left me. I don’t think dreams always mean something, but I get why I keep dreaming this, I mean it’s kind of obvious.
I just really can’t wait to be on a plane again though. It was so nice to fly.

I think I take my family for granted too much because when I really think about it, they are absolutely amazing.
My grandpa literally does nothing but study theology all day. His story is very similar to Martin Luther’s- he was studying in a seminary when He began to read the Bible and eventually left the Catholic church. He doesn’t just talk the talk though. He is the most humble and...

Hey there. If you’re reading this, may I ask you a favor? Please keep a dear friend of mine in prayer. He’s under a lot of stress right now. He’s given up on God and Christianity and has constant ramblings of suicide. I’m heartbroken. I’m so crushed. Is Jesus not evident enough in my life that you’d give up, friend? I’ve tried so long and hard to help, but I don’t...

Ok, so you’re going on a mission trip, and the “I’MGOING!I’MEXCITED!!” has just worn off. Now you’re left with “Oh. Good. God. What did I just DO?”
First, don’t panic. Take a deep breath and read.
It costs so much money! How will I ever raise that much?
It will come. If it is God’s will…
This is awesome. Thanks for writing this out :)
