School, Vacation and Black Tea

Well it is offical...I have been accepted into the Organizational Leadership program at Regent University! Whew! Three years of homework here I come. But luckily, I have a lot of time on my hands here. I am really excited about this oppurtunity to learn and I'm excited for the oppurtunities this degree will bring to me in the future. It seems strange to think that this is really happening. It was something I never even thought of doing until a short while ago. So here I go into a new adventure trusting that Christ will help me through!
Something else that is official is that as of 4:30 this afternoon I am on vacation! I will be flying into the sunny state of California in about 28 hours. I can't wait! There is lots of fun in store as I am seeing lots of fun people! I can't wait for this as I left California over a year ago and haven't been back since. The only downside is that I have to wake up at 4:30 a.m. to drive to Atlanta to catch my flight, but that is where the black tea comes in! I'll be making a huge mug of that tomorrow with lots of sugar!
I hope that this finds you all weel enjoying the month of June. It's beautiful out so go and have an adventure!

Back home...for now...

It's Monday and I am back at the grind stone after a great time in MN for the National ACSD conference last week. I had such a fantastic time! It was so great to be around hundreds of other people in my field, just knowing they understand my position and what it is I'm going through. I also got to spend some time with my former boss Jenny which was fantastic! She always kicks my butt and doesn't let me get away with the excuses I've created for not doing things. Through conversations with her and some great keynote speakers as well as some great workshops I went to, I've begun to think a lot about my worldview. I've realized that since being in South Carolina, I've become an ostrich with my head stuck in the sand most of the time. I have no concept of what is going on in the world around me and have lost a lot of my sympathey and empathy. I have also lost alot of my vision and passion. My tv has become my best friend, and some how I'm o.k. with that. But I shouldn't be. I need to get my head out of the sand and look around me and ask God, "What would you have me do?" And be preared to get dirty.

Bugs...I Hate Bugs

As I am leaving on Monday for a trip to the Midwest, I felt that my house needed a once over. That's all well and good, but I've had a major insect infestation problem that I wanted to take care of first. So out comes Megan with a super LARGE can of insect spray, ready to take charge. I sprayed the interior of my house, then proceeded to spray all of my windows from the outside...and what do I find when I walk back in my house? LARGE SPIDERS crawling over the areas I just sprayed! How much does that suck! If it's supposed to be bad for humans to ingest, how come it can't kill bugs! Ugh...so after killing the large arachnid in my bedroom, I finished cleaning...and found many, many, many more large (thankfully dead) insects. I promise I actually clean my house quite frequently, I guess it's just part of living in a hundred year old building. Charming. Anyway...I can't wait for that big strong man someday who hopefully comes with bug killing skills of his own!
