Some New Things

Hello, friends! It's warm and sunny here in Florida today. All of you frozen people in the Midwest can live vicariously through me. ;) Anyway, today is a picture blog as promised. I thought I'd introduce you to some of the new things and developments in my life.

I've been starting my mornings and finishing off my days recently with my hymnal. Singing Morning and Evening Prayer, Matins, and Vespers reminds me of chapel at Concordia and gives me a sense of community with Christians and God.

I've converted my now-empty second bedroom into an office. You can see I have a bulletin board hanging on the wall over my desk... wait, what's that on the desk? Two computers? Yes, this is my brag blog today, I got a new computer!

I'm slowly learning how to use Windows 8. I'm posting this picture of my Start menu because I wanted to demonstrate how I'm thinking of all you frozen people. I have Urbandale and Mequon chilling (literally) in my Weather app. 

Getting back to seriousness, I made this a few weeks ago to remind me of my personal motto: people matter, alternatively stated as "people, not numbers." It sits on my desk in plain sight so I never forget.

I also have this reminder on my bulletin board. University Lutheran's annual focus is "gifted," based on Ephesians 2:8-10. Everything University Lutheran does this year should relate to that focus somehow. Keeping it on my bulletin board keeps it on my radar.

On a different track, this is my Bookmarks folder of "Job Stuff." I'm back on the call list for when my missionary year is up, but I'm not waiting idly and twiddling my thumbs. I'm also checking various job sites to see if relevant jobs have been posted. If you know of a church looking for a youth leader, or you know of a website I could check, please let me know! I would really appreciate your help!

That's all my pictures for the day. I hope you enjoyed this glimpse into my life! Until next week, this is Iowa Girl Meets World, signing off.
