bible studies that bless.

today babysitting was awesome.

kids totally on, ann totally on.

yes, love those days.

then we had the women's bible study tonight at church and it was about spreading the gospel.

i know i needed to hear that cause i get all un-wanting to witness.

i know it's weird, but i worry what people will think of me.

{since them spending eternity in hell is a better alternative....yeah, see what i mean?}

i know i need to be praying that God changes my attitude and heart about the matter.

anyways, we all went out to applebee's afterward and it was a fabulous time.

emily, myself, nikki, catherine, jordan {a girl who graduated a year above me, friends with catherine}, linsday, cassie, jaime, and tasha.

they are such amazing women and i look forward to getting to know them more.

at one point we were talking about children {half of them have kids and are married}, and cassie says to me:

'ann, you are so good with kids.'

man, it was so sweet of her to say that and it really touched my heart.

she has seen me in the nursery at church before, that's how she is able to make a statement like that.

i know it's not a big deal, but i feel i never get told i'm good with kids.

maybe that's implied? cause i babysit so much? but it sure is nice to hear every once in a while.

gives me some reassurance--when i so often feel i lose my cool all too often.

only downside to the night was that we didn't get a picture...darnit!

when i think of christian woman, i think of one of my good friends mary kate.

she lives in alabama and i got to talk to her the other night {for the first time in MONTHS}.

she is such an amazing friend and someone i truly look up to.

we met in peru and then the following summer went to europe together.

friends who stay together, travel together.

this is one of my favorite pictures from the WHOLE trip.

we went around different churches and have to dress a certain way.

well we thought we were done seeing churches, so we both changed into different outfits.

to our surprise, we came across another church we wanted to see....and therefore were stuck wearing these cover-ups

we were both dying of laughter.

  

{her knees needed to be covered, and my shoulders}

i am beyond thankful for amazing Christian woman who can be good influences.

i am praying that God puts one of them in my life who pours into me.

i really could use someone of good influence, who is older.

pray with me, please?
