finger condom

well, last friday at caribou i had a run in with the thermometer and i sliced my thumb open. don't ask how. it bled pretty bad, it was gross it is right on the pad of my thumb. i have not noticed how much i use that appendage until now and it hurting all the time. it bleed through a bandage and i changed it and put a new one on and in the first aid kit were a bunch of finger cots, their proper name. they were turquoise blue, very noticeable. i put one on so i could continue to work, it put press on my thumb and held the bandage in place, too. who knew finger condoms were so practical.

this story is a whole lot more funny because at c. harbor my first summer we were looking through the free stuff we had ordered from a company and there were a couple thousand finger cots, and they were not blue but just creamy in color. i believe the idea was to use them as water balloons for a game. hmm... it was more than humorous as we filled one with water and realized what it look liked and then to throw it around... even funnier. the best part was is that finger cots are made of a very durable plastic one that doesn't break easily.

i called my boss' from c. harbor on saturday to tell them i used a finger cot in the right way... good laughs for all.

moving

moving on...
well things continue to change on a regular basis for me.

God continues to be good and provides things...
1st he has provided a passion some of it new nad most of it has been revived from the past
2nd he provided a job that is beyond my wildest dreams, a place for me to be free to live out the passion God has given me
3rd he has finally provided an apartment, we signed the lease yesterday and it is near mark which is simply a bonus
4th i know he will provide the finacial means he sees fit to carry me through this part of the journey

i realize i am still being vague, there really is no reason for it, it is just fun. so i will explain. i will be working with a non-profit faith based organization in racine. the organization it called lighthouse recovery ministries, i will be working with the Lazarus House specifically. this is an actual house which is being renovated to be used for ministry. they function on a relational level with all the members of the community doing few events and more building relationships. my job title doesn't exsist and i am not taking over a vacant position, yet i am filling a place on staff that God has prepared for me. i can't tell you the details of my job, for they are unknown even to me. crazy this sounds, i know. they run a day camp/ vbs program throughout the summer for the kids in the community, i will begin by getting my feet wet in all aspects of this program. i will have no direct responsiblity except to be where God wants me on a given day. once i begin to get a bigger picture of everything and God begins to visually show me where he wants me to serve things will become more concrete.

p.s. i have signed a year lease without having 'reliable' income. i know my income is reliable because it is from the Lord, just as your is. i just don't know who will be writing the check(s) on a regular basis

God has called me and placed me, he has taken care of many details thus far why should i question him now.

am i scared you wonder... well yes, that is only human, do i have a hope and peace, well yes, that is only the Lord
