Snow. Wheat. Bobby and Sarah. Interview. Amanda Goad.



What do all of these things have in common?

They're all incredibly sweet things? Maybe.
They're all in Spokane Washington? Yes!

I flew up to Spokane Washington on Wednesday for an interview at Upper Columbia Academy for the Evangelism Director/Chaplain for the school. After interviewing on Thursday I was offered the job and said yes! So I'm moving up here in January! It may seem like a huge "what just happened?" to many of you, but I have definitely been praying about this for weeks and I see a good fit here for me to work and minister at this academy. I like the faculty and (right now) I like the area really well too. We'll see how I feel when the snow makes an appearance.

Before Washington, I was in Texas for a week for my good friend Mary Jo's Wedding! It was quite a fun event with all the Warrens and Houghtons and their families there. I enjoyed reconnecting with old family friends and making some new ones! (Shout out to Bonnie and family... not that you read my blog or anything... or even asked if I had one... what just because I don't have Facebook, I don't have ANY internet presence?? Wow... the nerve... Just kidding. I love all of you guys!)

I've enjoyed my time up here in Washington, but I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE ALL MY FRIENDS AT iSHARE! :D And to watch my children graduate. :')

      This is a 3-year term thing. I'll be gone for a while... but I don't think I'd ever move out there full time because of how cold it gets. lol.

Fire Drill...?

Fair warning: This is a long post. Take two days to read it if you're overwhelmed. If you're procrastinating, definitely take some time to read it now. :) Wednesday morning started out just like any other day at Weimar. But at lunchtime, we got a surprise!!! An Obermiller visit!! Accompanied by Kasee, Ipo, and... and... Oh no. I forgot his name. I know his last name is Hyde! After eating and socializing, we went outside and saw..... THIS! Okay maybe we didn't see this particularly. This was just across the street. But we did see this: Smoke was billowing, "Prepare to evacuate!" was ringing across campus. Mothers were scooping up crying children and running to their homes to pack their most important things (Uncle Arthur's Bedtime Stories--true story) and college students jumping in the air rejoicing their good fortune (Psychology class isn't a favorite I guess...?) at classes being cancelled. Animals are being loaded into their cages a

The Problem with All or Nothing

Image
Are you familiar with Cognitive Distortions? If not, you should be. Understanding them may greatly impact your life for the better. One of my strongest distortions is All or Nothing thinking. I'm coming to realize that this invades every area of my life. - Job Tasks - Hobbies - Spiritual Convictions - Reading Books (I have read through an entire series of books in 2-3 days. Pages and pages of information. Done. Because I had to finish the series. It's a problem.) - Relationships - Food - Facebook While I'd love to discuss and throw around ideas about all of these areas, the one I'm most hit with right now is actually..... Facebook! I deleted my profile (Completely deleted it, like, gone gone. No re-active life for me) in July of 2012 and was FB free for 2+ years. Why? There were many reasons. But in August (I think?) of this year I decided to open it up again because I was moving to Spokane in January and wanted to keep in touch with several friends that

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCMENT

ATTENTION ALL SOULS TRACK 1 STUDENTS IN THE HEALTH PROGRAM!!! Okay, now that I have EVERYONE's attention (because really, who didn't want to keep reading after that intro?) I'd like to disclose some information. Remember that line in the canvass about your friend who has followed the principles in these books and has only been sick once in the last 15 years?? ... then that said friend got sick during the practicum...? ... and that said friend said it was "allergies".... IT'S TRUE!! When I got home to Bisbee recently, I started feeling sick. Sore throat, coughing, congestion, headache, etc. It didn't get better after a few days and I was resting and drinking lots of water and doing all those awesome things that should make me feel better but it wasn't working. So my beautiful mother suggested I go visit her at work when Dr. P was in so he could check out my illness. After going and telling him my symptoms and him observing the insides of m
