Today was a pretty nice day all in all

Thursday, September 19, 1968

Journal: Today was a pretty nice day all in all! Allen Shearin got my annual back (we thought it had been lost). Bruce Kyle signed it, and now Steve Stribling is drawing a little man for me in it. Becky Addington was real nice to me today, but I am still wary of what could happen (again!). I found out today that Art Ashby is a Christian – he is in my World History class. He is a lot like Steve Stribling, but I think Art is a real neat kid! Well, must go now – so much is coming up. I will try to keep you informed somewhat!

P.S. Mom and I went school shopping last night, and I got the most beautiful wool skirt (plaid), white turtleneck sweater, and orange-red turtleneck, plus school shoes and a neat purse. So long for now!

Well! You'll never guess!

Journal: Well! You’ll never guess! I talked to Pat Perisho after church today, and she really got us going for our youth Bible study group. The first meeting will be this coming Tuesday at my house from 7 to 8 p.m. This is so exciting – we just might be on the start of something big with God’s help! This morning before Sunday school, I cleaned up my room so that it at least looks presentable! (Would you believe?) Becky Addington stopped by for a short time this afternoon. We had a pretty nice visit. Well, I will be babysitting for Frank and Merrylee Kruger most of tomorrow. With the money I get from that and also from Lily, I can get something for school. Well, so long for now!

Hi! Aunt Lorraine hasn't come yet

Monday, August 26, 1968

Journal: Hi! Aunt Lorraine hasn’t come yet, but she will probably be here tomorrow! God is really moving, and if our Friends Youth starts working together, we will really get somewhere. Becky Addington came over today, and we were able to resolve our differences that we might work together in making something of our youth group with God’s help. Art Perisho (one of our sponsors) came over this evening, and we also talked a little about this. It is almost time to act – the part I usually fail, but with God’s help, keeping in the center of His will and with constant prayer, maybe I can help in the action, too. It will only be as God works through me though. This last week of letting God work in my life has led me to see the moving of God in a small way. You know, I sure am glad I went to the Nazarene church camp because otherwise I might not have been able to get so close to Jesus, but that battle is just beginning – I must keep on praying! Well, so long for now!
