Into the real World

at 06/18/09 1:13PM

For the first time in 10 years, I do not have my future goals written out. I have always been able to put into words my goals for the next five years of my life, and for the first time in 10 years, I don't know what my goals are.

I kinda feel like I'm applying for jobs and just living without any direction. It's also the first summer in 7 years that I have not been working. I pray that God blesses me with some directional thought with all of my free time this summer to find a career in the place and subjects that he wants me to influence people the His word.

Also, Joel turned 25 yesterday!!! If you have his number, you should txt him a happy late birthday. He likes it the same as yesterday. He is one of the few people that I know that the "thought that counts" is really all that counts with him.

Off to Job Shop. Lord be with me.
Pray w/o Ceasing,

Katie McAfee

yeah...well life turned a bit and i couldn't quite catch up with it so FSU worked out best...sometimes life without direction is life in the perfect direction-because you have to fully rely on Him. I say enjoy it...

It was SO good to see you yesterday and to chat with you... I have missed you, friend. We should make an effort to hang out soon!

I know you are probably pretty frustrated waiting to find out... I bet the purpose He has for this is greater than can be imagined! Love you. hang in there!

by jesspico at 06/19/09 11:11AM

I created a list of 30 things to do before I turn 30. Didn't get a few done, so I've added them to my list of things to do before I turn 35. Skydiving coming soon! :)

I worked for BGCs for a long time...now I'm working for Camp Fire USA...it's pretty cool!!

Good luck on the job hunt if you haven't found something yet. It took me much longer than I expected to land a spot, but I don't want to be anywhere else. Except for a permanent vacation at the beach, but a girl can't have her cake and eat it too.

Summer Lovin'

at 05/06/09 5:29PM

So, I get to graduate with my Bachelors Degree on May 17th! Woohoo!! I've been spending about 7 hours a day on writing a research article that doesn't even have dreams of being published, and we found a kitten. It lives nest to our house and meows till it gets to come in. It has the names of wiimo, waffle house, jungle cat, kitten, stretch, and dip stick. We are trying not to get attached so we can find it home with more incentive.

I'm trying to set up an all women's ultimate frisbee game. I've never played with only female's before, so this will be an adventure.

You should all send me graduation presents and make a new norm of sending many gifts to the college graduate and not the high school graduate. j/k

pray without ceasing
katie

I agree, college is a bigger accomplishment than high school. Congratulations Katie!

by shamgar at 05/08/09 11:47AM
not only is college a bigger accomplishment but college grads are poorer than hs grads. :)

by sunshinelove05 at 05/11/09 9:50AM
i agree w/larn, but i think i mighta gotten 3 presents, maybe?

We moved! Joel and I moved into a house! A rental. But a house. it's very quaint and cute. It has wood floors, a huge kitchen and storage room, with a back yard!! I have gotten to spend most of my days working in the yard. I LOVE working in the yard. I'm sure I love it while it's new and the new will wear off later, but I don't want to dismiss it yet.

A young lady that I grew attached to, and yet never met, passed away 2 days ago. She was 15 with an incurable tumor in her brain. Within her year of cancer, she formed several fundraising groups to raise money for research at St. Judes, helped raise money to help pay for individual families hospital expenses, and all the while openly and adimately gave glory to God. I really admire her. I pray that I can effect peoples lives in the way that she had. Positively.
When in the hospital, a person asked her why she was smiling. She said "Because life is much more interesting when your happy."

Amen.

Pray w/o Ceasing,
Katie

amen...

We need to come visit your new pad.

Thanks for sharing that, I think that quote from that little girl will stick with me.

by shamgar at 04/15/09 12:32PM
Hey! I miss you too, & I am SO excited about you & Joel's (& Lassie's) new house!!! Thank you for sharing your story... It sounds like she lived her life to give God the glory and thanking HIM for everything! Praying for you & her family.

Putting off Work

at 02/03/09 9:03AM

Well, started student teaching this semester on January 5th. I only have 3 and a half weeks left at the elementary school I would LOVE to teach at.

My insurance wouldn't pay for more than 15 appointments of physical therapy so I had to stop going. However, when you are a poor newly wed, you do not normally pay for a gym membership. However, at my last appointment, I was told that my leg muscles in my recuperating leg are smaller and have less strength than before I quite re-hab. This is not good, thus Joel and I getting memberships at the BAC. It's been nice, but I have constant soreness, usually in my butt. Go figure.

Can't wait for camping and hiking weather!
Can't wait for the May trip to New york! (Graduation/Birthday trip from Joel to Me!)

Pray w/o Ceasing

camping + hiking = himpking

by imelgringo at 02/06/09 9:54PM

by rosemary at 02/12/09 8:54AM

Also, I am not going to third wheel it on you and Joels romantic get away. Another also, thanks for checking out the site. When I'm a billionare I'll make you a doll on the house! PS I love you!

Some of the Best Feelings I can think of...

at 12/08/08 10:41AM

-Finding money in your pocket
-Only having one final for all of Finals week
-Being Surprised by an old friend you haven't seen in a such a long time
-Snuggling with Lassie
-Finishing long Projects
-Assembling with CABG
-When a baby says your name
-Falling in Love with God over and over again
-when a classic comes on the radio that you know all the words too
-singing loudly in the car with a great friend

these are in no particular order, just all are good feelings

Remember that time I created this user name the day after AR camp to be silly with Joel...funny how things turned out.

Pray w/o Ceasing,
Katie Mc

ha! i like that last tidbit :)

by cmvermont at 12/08/08 1:12PM
none of these have happened in a long time either, except for snuggling with lassie.

by yakattack at 12/09/08 1:40PM
you've inspired me to do a list my next post; i haven't done that in a long time :)

by rosemary at 12/09/08 7:00PM
Yay for good feelings! :)

by mccasland at 12/10/08 12:56PM
if i had asked you to join a cult...

by imelgringo at 12/14/08 9:19AM
i definitely agree with all of that! i am pretty sure the snuggling with lassie one has made me late a couple times because i just don't want to get up because i was so COMFY! (and i just want to SQUEEZE her!) i don't know that i have ever found money in my pocket, but i did find melted chap stick. mom wasn't too thrilled when she had cherry chap stick smeared in her dryer... assembling with CABG and falling in Love with God and His word are definitely the top two best feelings i have had since i have moved up to Bowling Green. & of course i love singing loud... i mean even if it is my normal voice to me, it's loud to people around me - i think i am partially deaf cause i talk so loud, ya know? anyways... you're an encouragement to me & so many others and I LOVE you! can't wait to get back to BG and have game night! and play wii sports! woo hooooo!

by karaashley at 12/16/08 10:43AM
um sorry about the novel i just left on this post... i guess i just got a lil excited.

by karaashley at 12/16/08 10:44AM
...She might have joined the cult ;)

by snorman at 12/20/08 6:51AM
hahahaha. you don't suck. I love you, and I was referring to Joel's comment up above

by snorman at 12/28/08 4:44PM
good things. I agree :)

by texaslady at 12/29/08 9:55AM
im so bad at keeping up with this thing, how are you? where are you?

by bradh at 01/14/09 8:03PM
i'm glad you asked... for a month it was a fauhawk, then it was the trendy preppy normal style for a week, and now it is the old man part to the side... i'll keep you updated on my next style move. how is your hair?

by kyle at 01/19/09 10:08AM
i am sure your hair looks great... i don't think it has ever looked like "crap" other than its general color of course. :)

by kyle at 01/19/09 10:58PM
So do you remember that day to Junior Camp when Josh walked by and I told you I was going to marry him? ....

by heartsintexas at 01/26/09 12:47PM
HEY CHICA remember that time i scared the crap out of you by hiding outside your bathroom door in the FC dorm? You knocked the toilet paper dispenser off the wall. Good times. Mwa ha ha... :)
