Lord prepare me...

to be a sanctuary, pure and holy tried and true. With Thanksgiving! I'll be a living sanctuary for You!
"And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. According to all that I show thee, after the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it." Exodus 25: 8-9
We don't have to do everything by ourselves, God gives us the layout of how he wants our hearts to be for Him and what exactly He wants us to do, but we have to wait for His timing to view the blueprints.
When I was home this past weekend, I was struck once again by how much little eyes watch every move we make. My mom has a picture on our fridge from alysson stewart (8) that says: "I love my Sunday School Teacher!" and I was just watching her watch my mom's every move and drink it in. Dad always has the sunday school select the songs in the morning, and goes back and forth between the boys and the girls. After the 3rd round it was the girls turn again and Kayli requested to sing, "Jesus love Me lalala" (Jamaican style) How awesome! She was watching all her brothers and sisters, and even though she can't quite get the melody, she sure has the lalala's down! Praise the Lord for little children!!! May God be with you this week. :)

Valentines Day

Just thought I'd join the other two Bahr girls and write on my blog:

February 14th-
a day to celebrate
the unholy alliance
between overpriced plant life
and saturated fats!

Awesome... Thanks for the card Steph!

I walked into Wal-Mart tonight to buy groceries after work, and I had to chuckle to myself as I saw 5 men in a row rushing out the doors with flowers and chocolate, and then 2 girls in front of me in the check out line were "gushing" over the cards they got their boyfriends... oh 13 year olds in love... ! I hope everyone had a truly blessed Valentines Day. May you all feel the love of the one who gives us flowers all the time! :)

Memory

I have had this song in my head for forever. I just want you all to realize what an amazing song this is. Yes, the musical it came from, CATS, has some interesting costumes, but what a beautiful song. It gives me chills. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJHzoAmA8Ec
So basically, I haven't had anything really to post about in the past weeks/ years since my last post. But I'll give er' a try.
I started working at Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka as the Rehab Tech for the rehab services department and I am getting along very well with my co-workers. There are mostly guys there, the girls are either PT's or OT's, so I get to hang with the boys and I have already learned alot.
Like:
#1- When there is a code brown you pick up your feet and try to talk your nose receptors into taking the day off, and then to laugh about it later with the crew and be proud of being "initiated" on the first day, 2nd patient.

#2- Never trust an ornery orientator to push the towel bin "half-way".
#3- If you want to get in good with this group, learn to hack(hacky-sack). (Thanks to the soccer players in MX that got me ready for this little feat. ;)
#4- If you feel super hot, your hearing is vanishing, and your vision is getting black... you should probably sit down and drink some cold water. ;) In other words... ICU is taking some getting used to.
#5- Stuff in school matches stuff at work and that is an incredibly awesome learning tool. Praise the Lord!! :D
and finally #6- "The trying of our faith worketh patience." James 1:3 Not that my faith is being tried, but I am definitely learning patience. Do you know why the doctor got mad? Because he ran out of patients. :)
Well folks, that's all I have for now. O yeah... Word for the Wise: Snowball fights IN the house = a very wet carpet/socks. haha. Maggs and Lin started it all with 2 snowballs at anna and I, and I finished it with my 2 scoopfuls of snow in the dustpan on maggs and lins heads through the vent in maries vacant room while anna trapped them in at the door. lol Welp... have a blessed week everyone and God bless!
