Prayer Request

at 01/15/10 7:53PM

There is a wonderful older woman who I used to go to church with back in CO. She's in the hospital with kidney failure. I haven't heard an update today, but please be praying for her!

Thanks!

Oh, and her name is Lois :)

Tell them congrats for me!! Love you!

I saw your dad at a funeral today - I had no idea it was their anniversary!

Virginia is great! The weather is starting to get chilly, but I'm actually excited about it. Hopefully we'll get some snow. :D

Yes, I got to meet her and Tyler. I didn't realize you knew her! We could have tried to share embarrassing stories about you! :-)

They are 5 years ahead of us, our 25th is in December! They have great kids too!

Old Habits Are Hard To Break

at 07/08/09 9:33PM *

Ok, so I guess it's time for a real update on the new Pleonast... while I'm watching a Carey Grant/Irene Dunne movie (aka, a black and white movie for non-classic movie watchers)!

I made a trip to CO in June to see the mountains... I mean... family and friends. ;) The trip was a lot of fun, and I was able to hang out with several people. It was good to see the church there appoint 4 elders. We even had several tornados break up our potluck after services!

I've apparently not adjusted to the *warm* weather yet! Although, I'm definitely not complaining! I can't believe that I'll have been here a year in just about a week! Time flies. Things are going well at the job. It's been a blessing to get to work with several people from church. This past quarter, I taught the 4-5 year old class at church. It's amazing how much can be relearned when getting ready to teach kids! I have also started teaching piano lessons. I'm really enjoying getting to teach Jin Li. She's a quick learner!

I spent the 4th of July weekend visiting my mom's parents. If you ever need to feel special, just go to Grandma's house (even when you're an adult)! A little background for the next part: my grandma and great aunt take care of my 98 year old great grandmother. My grandmother is now bed ridden - mostly due to dementia. She doesn't remember who anybody is anymore. Now comes the story behind the title!

The most uplifting part about my most recent visit was when my great grandmother decided that she needed to get up in order to get ready for church (on Saturday evening). My great aunt asked my grandma and I to come sing a little bit with them to keep Grandmother calmed down, and in bed. So, the four of us sang several songs... and Grandmother would sing ALL of the words correctly! Then, Grandma "preached" out of Luke, and my aunt led the closing prayer. I couldn't help being thankful that there were 3 generations there singing hymns and studying the Bible. I just hope that when/if I should live to be older, I wil have the desire to worship God... even if I'm "not all there."

Well, this about wraps up my life to this point!

...and then there is the lesson:
As far as her soul goes...she is soooo there!
Love it and love your sweet heart! Have a good week.

What a neat story!

by missy at 07/08/09 10:10PM
I agree great story. Thank you for sharing.

by texasdad at 07/08/09 10:49PM
Awww....mom and I went to go visit them for Mother's Day. It was really neat to sit there with grandmother Linny (even though she didn't remember us) and grandma and my mom. Looking down through the generations. Literally. :D

And about your comment on my blog, I've been thinking a lot since I posted that. Yes, I posted it out of angry and hurt and my impish side was hoping I could get some rallying supporters saying my sister was just a selfish brat. But, I know you're right. I know that she is hurting too and doesn't need me bashing her behind her back. I want her to support this decision, but I know she's not going to, so I'm just going to love her and be understanding of her thoughts. Eventually, she will come around. I just don't want it to be years from now, ya know?

by head_in_a_sunrise at 07/09/09 8:27AM
I wanna go to CO someday. I've never been there. I think I would like to scenery. It is very neat that you were able to visit with your great grandmother like that. Singing is so soothing, especially hymns. Hug!

by uogir at 07/09/09 8:33AM
I will not be there this year. We will be vacationing in the great state of Colorado.
You girls will have a great time at lectures. I love it.

by jamiemmoon at 07/09/09 9:36PM
I wonder what caused those tornadoes??? Hmmm... haha! That's a great story about your great-grandmother. What a blessing and a special memory for you to keep!

by lizzyb at 07/14/09 8:03PM
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Hope it's a blessed, wonderful, fun-filled, day.
Love ya!

by head_in_a_sunrise at 07/22/09 2:23PM
I'm doing fine, thanks!! I still haven't found all of my energy, but it's out there somewhere. All the test are back and everything's good.

by lizzyb at 07/25/09 10:55AM
Haha yes! Myers road trip adventures are definitely one of a kind. =D

I'm requesting prayers for a couple who I met in Colorado

at 06/10/09 10:56PM

I met Christopher and Lauren when they moved to Colorado a couple of years ago. They moved back to California in order to be closer to family right before they had their daughter, Emily. (They moved about a year ago.)

I have recently found out that Christopher has just been diagnosed with stage 3 Lymphoma. I haven't heard much more about this, but I believe that he will be started chemo pretty soon.

Christopher and Lauren are about my age - so they are young. They will have a pretty rough road ahead of them. I know that they would appreciate your prayers!

not Christopher and Crystal??? ;) j/k They are definitely in my prayers

by heartsintexas at 06/10/09 10:57PM
By the way, my Grandpa is doing a lot better. He's home now - so we're very thankful for that. Thanks for all of the prayers!

by iamjane at 06/10/09 11:02PM
They worship with Jeremy and I at Tustin in Orange Co.! I love that we know the same people! Not that it's good circumstances, but neat just the same. I haven't had the opportunity to talk to them about what's been going on, but when I have, I'll be sure to tell you how they are!

by uogir at 06/11/09 8:32AM
I will keep them in my prayers

by yost at 06/11/09 10:21AM
Jim & I have been doing that. His uncle Mike Bailey was at church last night (here on business). BTW: I'm so glad that you were able to come up for the weekend & that I got to see you on Sunday! You look beautiful!!

by kittyhawk at 06/11/09 11:34AM
Yeah, everything is going well. My hands are swollen which is a bit annoying, but I'm good.

by uogir at 06/12/09 8:22AM
