Reading: The Priest's Graveyard by Ted Dekker
Obsessed with: My new phone ;)
I am very happy to say that I have now gotten over 1,000 views on my blog! *insert random dance of awesomeness here* Maybe 1,000 views isn't such a huge milestone, but it got me excited!
So it's been raining here. A lot. Flooding everywhere, roads washed out, streams traveling down the sides of roads in such abundance, that you could go canoeing down them.
With all this flooding, CLEAR (my youth group) has been helping out a lot of flood victims for the past few weeks. And last night we did so again, helping two families get their houses cleaned up. I spent the time pulling nails out of trim, hauling buckets of sheet rock and little wooden boards out to the dumpster, and pulling nails out of walls and ceilings. Some of my friends were cutting and placing insulation in the walls. Other kids were knocking out walls and tossing the debris outside. There was plenty of dust floating through the air and it was even worse when it was swept up.
But it was so worth it! One lady who owned one of the houses starting crying relating what happened from the flood to my youth leader. She was just so grateful to have some help getting things put back together.
Of course we were rewarded with some pizza and soda - no better reward than tears and food!
Today was the first day in the past week that it hadn't poured buckets of rain down on us. The sun shone through the clouds a few times, brightening the already vivid leaves that have begun their fall back to the earth.
I made dinner tonight. This dinner was quiche. Bacon-cheddar quiche to be precise. This quiche was a pain in the neck to make, but after an hour and a half of cooking, cutting, more cooking, cracking, and whisking, I put my two dished of quiche into the oven and then stepped outside to take some pictures of the lovely sun setting. And a few of the chickens too since they were just standing there like lawn gnomes, staring at me. My quiche was actually really good! I think it was worth waiting two hours for. My dad even had seconds - which means it was most definitely delicious :)
Cheers♥
No lie, I will call that number.
