Wow... It has been ages since I have last wrote on the blog. Not as bad as my diary...but bad none the less! So I have been kind of failing at putting up pictures and writing about food... but I have been busy!!! :D
Since I last wrote to you I have been to three church conventions, met countless amounts of people ( who I could probably tell only a fraction of the names, been applying to jobs, hiking, been to Portland for a few days and enjoyed my self to the fullest in the culinary world of coffee and food, oh... and I turned a year older!
Each of those topics could have soooooooo much written about them. I am sorry I haven't written, cuz then I could conjure up yummy juicy stories along with them, but as you can see, I have not.
Right now in my life... I still have no job :P I tell people who ask how I am doing that, " I feel like a bum, but I am a happy bum." Jobs are hard to find/hard to get around here. Everybody is looking for one. Right now my goal is to become/learn how to become a barista. I want to accumulate that knowledge for now and later in my life. I feel as if will become very useful. Now, if someone would hire me :) ... they don't know what they are missing out on. :)
There was a lady but the name of Sara that said that she would love to teach me how to sew!!! Yes ladies and gents... I may this year, learn how to make something my very own! Whooohoooo! Well I am this excited now... lol we shall see what the end product will look like! :P High hopes everyone!
When I was at Portland I saw a lot of homeless people. It really touched me. Poverty is so alive. There was one man, who really touched me, (I don't know if he was homeless or not). He was an older man using a decorated cane with stuffed toys key chains and random assortments. He had a soft kind face with tears in his eyes. He looked right at me as I walked by with my aunt and said, "I love you both". He asked for nothing, just walked right along. I could feel his sincerity flowing out of him. All I did was smile, thank, and tell him I liked his cane. We were in no hurry, I wonder if the old man was just lonely, had a sad day, or the best day in his life... either or, I wish I would of asked if I could of bought him a cup of coffee and tell him I appreciated his true sincerity.
There are a few times in your life that you remember moments and wonder why or why not you did or did not do anything with the moments later. Ask yourself, what have I learned, how can I use this in the future? I truly believe that God's people should be the most friendly people in the world. We are happy debtors, paying each day to the Lord through our service. I know I lack in this so much. Many times I have very good intentions, but lack the follow through. I really want to work on this, this year and the years that follow.
There was a homeless man that had come up to us and said he was hungry, so we got him some food... he also said he was cold and was seeking a hat and a coat. I had a stocking hat on, but it was a girl's. I didn't offer it to him because of that...I wish I would of, I don't think he would of minded. It made me think after, am I really willing to give all to God or do I think of excuses not too? He could of probably gone to the Mission to get his needs met. My aunt said that the some of the homeless people choose not to go the Mission. If that is so it is usually because they have to hear about God when they go, and they don't want to hear.
Well, that is all for tonight! Hope to keep you posted on the latest and greatest! :D Cheers
