Left-Abby and I, she is contemplating life
Below-Jason, Mahea, and I before youth group.
(Notice Jason and his Integral Technology Shirt-Hot Stuff.)
I never really responded since that really bad night at youth group! It actually never really got dealt with because every week since then we had a very small group because of kids going to camp, vacation or other summer things. Last week I thought we could have a real heart to heart talk, but then it was just about 5 kids, and none of them were even there that night! So, it was not good timing.
We got the Nooma videos for the Summer. God will show us some neat things as we watch them and read the studies that go along with them. It will also help with the feeling that the well is currently dry and we need some refilling at this point. God is so faithful, and He always does refill. I am getting more used to the fact that we do have 'Seasons' and this is one of the dry, summer seasons. It is not a big deal. When I was younger I am sure I would have over-reacted and thought it was the end of the world. I am older and wiser! Actually, I will turn another year older this Wednesday. 28 actually. Close to 30, and I don't even care.
So, youth group will continue, and I will press on.
Actually, something really rare is happening next week. I don't have the patience or time to really write the whole thing down, but here is the basic jest of it. Abby and I are coming to California alone. It is a LONG story. My grandma is about to die any day, my mom is taking care of her. I really want to go be with them in this hard time. I would not even consider it usually, I have work, youth group, a household to take care of and run! Who would cook Jason dinner??? But, Jason is REALLY busy working, and my work just got slow. SO, we can work it out. I will come next week. Then I am staying for a whole month. We were coming out for our baby sitter's wedding (She is also a CLOSE friend and Abby is the Flower Girl!) and so I will just stay for that since it does not make a whole lot of sense to just fly home and then back again a week later. I am lucky too, I can do a lot of work from home. I will bring my laptop and just work from there.
I will miss my dear Jason, and I will worry if he ate fast food too much, and if he cleaned his water jug out often enough. that is my job, I worry about that stuff. He will miss us, and Abby. She LOVES him so much, she says "Dadda" in a really up-tempo tone every time he comes home. When he goes to work she says, "Bye, bye, bye, bye" and waves both arms. She is precious. I would not even consider such things but Jason has such a huge load of work that he will be jamming long hours to just get it done! So, it will be ok. Good thing we have Skype! Time will go fast because of my grandma and all that. I will get to see everyone there, my sis, my friends and even Jason's family.
Ok, I am off to bed. Aloha to you all. ~Becky~
