My dear fellow Holy Worlders, I am very sorry to say this, but...
For the rest of this month, I shall only be on here for one hour every Saturday, with no Chat. You see, I have many wonderful things that should be done---that need doing. And the computer has been distracting me. :(
I have school work to finish, meals to cook, kids to watch, a pool to swim in, trees to climb, and a commissioned portrait to draw. So, as sad as it makes me, you won't see me much until July.
Farewell. :wave: (That should be a sad wave.)

Aaw, well climbing trees and swimming sounds great fun, Aemi! Enjoy yourself; I will miss you but will look forward to your return! :) Take care.

Aww. I did something similar last year. I'll miss you, but I'll rest assured you will be back in July.

I hope your time away goes well (and that your hour a week on HW will cram in a lot of fun. ;))

Well dear, much as we will miss you, we hope that you will enjoy the freedom of time away, swinging in trees. :D

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Works in progress:

Amen to what everyone else said, Aemi! You'll be sorely missed - I like seeing your little blue dots all over the place! *doctor voice* But I'm sure it's really for the best.

Now go off and do it! All of it! *check-check-check goes Aemi's to-do list!!*

Hello, I'm back now! I have switched priorities around a bit, and I will probably be on here about an hour on most days. Great to see y'all!

I agree with Airianna on re-prioritizing. :?

Hey, I'm back! Yes, I had a good time, and several little kids attached themselves to me (that means they wanted to sit in my lap, hold my hand, and sit with me at lunch :) ) Like I told my sister, if little kids do not start to adore you by the end of the week, you have failed as a counselor.
And, I have pictures! Just click on this link, and you'll see some of what went on this week. If you click on photo number 52 in the "Day 2 Highlights", you'll see a picture of me! :cool:
