Back to School!

I had the best time being home with my family for a month. I rarely get to see them and it was so much fun hanging out with my sisters and my mom. I am also glad to be back at school! I have missed it.
I have been volunteering at a local church with their Adult ESL program. Last night we had around ten students in the beginning class. Last semester we only had two. I am so excited that the class is growing. If you could pray for the classes to grow and expand that would be much appreciated. This is a really neat ministry. Next week I start teaching the beginning class. I am extremely nervous about teaching adults twice my age! I am sure it will be fine.
Well it is time for work, I will post more later!

Influential Music

Yesterday, I was cleaning my room and listening to my ipod. I was listening to a band named Nickleback. When the words to one of my favorite songs caught my attention. For the first time I truly understood the lyrics and I didn't like what I heard. I was naive enough to believe that the song was about love when in reality it was about lust. This got me thinking how influential music is on teenagers and college students. Music is a big part of our lives and we listen to it when we drive in the car, study, hang out with friends etc. Kids make excuses for their music saying that the words aren't that important they just listen to the beat. I beg to differ the words are important and they do impact us. Listening to this Nickleback song made me realize that I have to be careful what I listen to. I am a vessel of Christ and it is important for me to listen to music which is uplifting and pure as well as to think pure and uplifting thoughts.
I really challege you to be careful what you listen to, because the words do matter!

I got a hair cut today!

The last two to three weeks I have been sick. I went from having a mysterious rash on my face which made my lips swell up( I looked like I had a bad botox job and rolled around in poison ivy). Then I got a virus in which I had a fever for two days and then I had a sinus cold. I am not trying to complain. I am just letting you know how my last three weeks have been spent. So today I felt amazing when I went to Shiloh to work as a secretary and then got a haircut afterwards. I felt like a girl and I was so glad not to be stuck in my house. YEAH! FREEDOM!!

I am Officially a Blogger!

After months of watching my sister blog I have decided to conform to the wide world of blogging. Why the name hitchhiker you ask? After the termination of my car back in June of 2005, I have become very creative in my ways of getting to and fro from here to there. So I think Hitchhiker Travels is only fitting. I hope you enjoy my new blog!
