I had the afternoon off, so I spent it organizing my closet and ironing my Eventforce temp agency shirts and whatnot. Then, just before curfew, I had a little adventure with the kitchen sink plumbing. So much fun! But I managed to get it fixed in time.
Tuesday -
Carpool change! Abbie, Sam, and I were Rachel's carpool. But they changed us to Alicia. Then, a week or two later, they changed us to Anna. I think they want to keep the class's three Administrators together... U_U
Hah! At Young Adults, PT (Tom) talked about... rejection! It was awesome. Rejection therapy... xD He played some movie clips from this guy:
Wednesday -
I spent the evening with children's group. ;D I'll be spending each Wednesday night with them.
Thursday -
For Chapter 6, I have a note in the book that I wrote on Friday. The note says:
This was meant to be Sarah's chapter, but at the last moment she was under the weather and had to go home. Yesterday I was sitting in the corner adding some more highlights and notes, not knowing anything about that. As I got up to sit in my seat for class time...
Tammie: Jamie, do you like to be spontaneous?
Me: Yes!
Tammie: Do you want to teach this chapter?
Rachel says my face just light up at that moment. x)
I absolutely love this chapter and had soooo much fun teaching it. I added a few notes as I went, but most of them were already there. Sarah's Greek/Hebrew words were already on the board. And I came up with two questions to ask at the end while teaching. What are some of your mountains/valleys/crooked places that are being made straight? Were you converted but not discipled? And it was convenient that I didn't have a third question yet, because those two caused plenty of discussion, and we concluded just in time to then have lunch with the GHCC staff.
And everyone told me I did great on the chapter and Chad wrote me an encouragement saying I have a real teaching anointing on my life. x)
So I was really thrilled about that. Definitely one of the highlights of my year! Ahh... I loved that so much. x) When Tammie asked me... it took me a moment to grasp that it was really happening! Because I had read the chapter more than once, loved it, and added plenty of notes. I was fully prepared to teach that chapter. And when I taught my first chapter several days before, I had loved it... and I'd been pretty disappointed that I wouldn't be able to teach another chapter for so long. It is a joy, and a skill I want to hone. So, it was awesome. x)
When doing a chapter teaching, you look up a Greek word and a Hebrew word, and write them on the board. That was already done for me, since Sarah had been going to teach before she was too ill to be able to. You also ask three questions at the end to stimulate discussion... though, of course, there will always be more or less discussion during the chapter as well. So I came up with questions on the go. ^_^
And each week we all write encouragements to each other and put them in a box. You're supposed to write two or more encouragements each week, and on Thursday we pass them out. Always something to look forward to! Of course, I have my whole database set up for encouraging my classmates. xD It's fun. x)
Oh yes, and then, that evening, we went to a Christmas Tree Farm for Sam's birthday. His host family owns it and they live there. So it was most of the class, Jim and Tammie and their children, Sam's parents and siblings and other friends, and... more people in general. And a bunch of us played hide-and-seek in the tree farm in the dark! ="D It was so much fun. x) I spent most of the time with Lexi, Jim and Tammie's 10-year-old daughter. She is SOOO sweet! I'd never even officially met her before, and she was already treating me like one of her people. She was hiding with a few others in some trees in the dark. I approached, and she whispered to ask who it was. "It's Jamie," I said.
"Oh good!" she whispered excitedly, motioning for me to huddle into the trees with them, "Come hide with us!"
She was so welcoming I almost wondered if she thought I was someone else! "I'm not Jaimee Nelson," I whispered as I hid with them, "I'm another Jamie."
"You're Jamie Tucker!" she replied.
x) I spent just about the whole time following her, because she didn't want to be alone in the dark in the trees. It was awesome. She got to go wherever she wanted without worrying about looking up and finding that she was alone, and I got to spend the game with the sweetest little girl in Washington!
Friday -
I spent most of the day at home writing. Working on a paper, journaling, and blogging.

I went shopping with my house mom, I spent about an hour talking with Brianna on the phone... It was good. ^_^

Nothing in my notes to blog about that happened on Sunday!
So, there you have it... week 7!
