The Outdoor Concert

I am so thrilled that the Lord allowed me to introduce three of my blind friends to an amazing tradition in Hayward....the Sunday Concerts in the park. I love Summer so much and the concerts at the memorial park are such a big part of that. I picked up my blind friends and they loved it. The weather was perfect and they enjoyed the time immensely. I am so thank-full when I can bless others with the things I take for granted every day. Lord, bless them all.

The Impossible has been done.

There are a few things in my life I have serious trouble with. One is understanding Math. Another is driving in traffic. Well, I am sitting here writing this and reporting that in the last two weeks have done just that. When I heard about a summer job as a co-teacher for a College for Kids Math class, I knew it would be tough. Then, when I heard it paid 37 dollars an hour, I was a bit more motivated. It was then I decided I would do it, no matter what. I spent twelve hours on the freeway, checked a million math websites, kept moving from six am until six pm and encountered a variety of challenging obstacles, one being teaching 22 children without the promised workbooks. I am so very proud of myself! In addition to that, I lost five pounds in the last two weeks.....another thing that is extremely hard for me. I asked God for his help and He was there every single step of the way. Thank-you Jesus. I now carry a burden for a few special children I didn't even know before. Every time I get to know new children, I feel blessed.
