YES WE CAN!I am pretty much still buzzing and joy-filled from Tuesdays election of our new President-elect, Barack Obama. I found a place with a TV and sat there in tears and a full heart of hope. I think what I especially liked about Obama's speech is his attempt for unity and acknowledging that the road is not going to be easy, but Mr. President, you definitely have my prayers as you face the rough path ahead of you and guide this nation.
I'm not totally big on stating my political leanings out like that, but Tuesday night, it was bursting from me. I hope that this election doesn't make people think that racism is a non-issue, but acknowledge that we are moving forward.
Anyway, it's been a good week and will continue to be for lots of different reasons... I get to get out of this area tonight and drive up to Berkeley to have dinner with a new friend (yay for new friends!) and tomorrow night I have the privilege of babysitting! YES, babysitting...
And there is a picture of me and the cute little monkey I get to play with for an evening! Hurray! Her name is Nahyun (Natalie). Her parents tell me that I'm doing them a huge favor, but little do they know how much they're doing me a favor.
It's a packed weekend at the church with youth service projects and an outreach event, but it will all get done!
Keep praying for me as I begin my third month of work now... :)
