The Waiting Room |
Saturday, September 14, 2002 I can't believe that you signed you name beefy boy. That's so funny to me. I laughed really hard. Oh, I have had such a good time with my sister this weekend! I love her so much. We went to the beach and we played stupid games with her hall and her brother hall. Then we went to the grocery store and just laughed and laughed about stupid things that only sisters would laugh about. Her hall is so funny. Wow. I love the beach. I think the more that I'm away from it, the more I forget how much I miss it. I was SOOOOOO excited today! I finally got my Tevin Campbell CD! I was actually kind of disapointed in it. There are some really dirty songs on it. But I listen to our song over and over and over. I miss you so much. I thought I wrote you and told you about my medical class. I guess not. Anyway it's and intro to the medical field. It's a college class call Medical Terminalogy and Anatomy/ Physiology. I'm going to be working in out community clinic too (once I learn how to take vital signs)! I'm really excited about it. That is the class that I'm the Rep. in. We even have to buy scrubs so I'll look like a nurse too! As much as I would like to talk to you tomorrow, I'm not absolutly sure that I'm going to get the chance because my youth group is doing luch together. I'll try though, around nine or so, ok? Just for fair warning, my dad said that I can only talk for like fifteen minutes because I left all of my money with my sister at college by accident. Maybe again then. OK? I'm really excited but I hope that it's not all in vain. Well, I have had an exhausting weekend so I'm going to go the bed...after I read some of my new books! I miss you. Oh, and your welcome for the complient. Anytime you need one because I think that you are amazing (and really hot). I miss you.posted by Bethany at 9:56 PM wow!posted by Gideon Banda at 6:05 AM Friday, September 13, 2002 I'm really looking forward to my time with my sister. I'll make sure to tell everyone that. You are so cute. I had another dream about you last night. Unfortunatly, I don't really remember most of it. It was one of those really bizarre ones. Me and you were at the church where my youth group did TMT in Ohio.Some how or another we were going to walk down to the beach to look at the stars (I don't know how a romantic beach got in Ohio) then I fell or something and you turned in to my other friend all of a sudden and she tried to help me get my leg out of a cave but then we were both stuck in the cave and my family was trying to get us out. It was ridiculous. Interesting though, you are probably the only person that I ever have dreams about on a regular basis. We will plan for Sun, then around nine? Is that bad for you? It's getting cold here, but I love it. I love autum. I can't wait til the leaves fall off. I had so much fun today in my medical class. We got this skeleton in out room and it's really really old and someone broke it's arm off, so it's been armless for a couple of days now. Well, we were supposed to be doing our homework but I felt really bad for the poor, armless. skeleton so my teacher let me make it a cast out of construction paper which got the entire class off-task and we wound up laughing and signing our names on it all hour long. We later decided to name it Mojo. Henceforth, (I decided that I really like to say that word and it makes me sound very Shakespearian) I have a ton of homework. Anyway I am in such a good mood and SOOOOOOO excited to see my sister in just a few short hours and I'll be praying that you do a good job tomoorrow in your class. Your always with me.posted by Bethany at 3:50 PM Hi! Sorry I wasn't able to write yesterday.Our school ministries depend, we have some in the morning and some in the afternoon, I use any chance inbetween to check and send mail and sometimes I don't get the chance at all but I hope you know how it makes me feel everytime I miss a chance to keep in touch. I understand how you feel right now. your dad seems like an ideal father even though thats a very big word to use concerning any human being and you are so blessed to have him.Let's hope it works this sunday as you say. I can't wait to talk to you.Have a nice time with your sister when you visit her and also your girlfriends and tell them I said hi and when you guys talk about boys feel confident to tell them that I'm your boy and that I think about you and pray for you everyday and that we're confident we shall meet again soon, well all this depends on your confidence about all this .About you having a hard time to fit in the shoes of your sister, I feel you, coz I've been there.But it's always important to believe in your yourself and rise up to fill any gap that you have to fill in the society at large.And hey I'm proud of you too very much I wish you were here to hear me tell my friends about you coz you mean so much to me.And I miss you I miss you I miss you I mmmmmmmiss you.Oh I almost forgot ,we'll be having a Bible quiz tommorow then I'll bespeaking to the teens class this sunday.Yesterday I spoke to some High school teenagers and I learnt something about myself, that I need to be more simple in my messages the doctrines I teach, my friends tell me are too high for teens standards.Please pray for me about that because I like teaching the word in it's truth and fact and I try to be as simple as I possibly can but it seems I haven't tried enough.It shocks me that my undrestanding and presentation of doctrine is higher above most youths here.Hey wait a minute, do you understand when I try to explain some doctrines to you? Ithink you do ! so why shouldn't they and yet most are older than you?Anyway it ain't such a big deal and I'm sure I can handle it by God's grace.Take care and live yielding to the spirit of God.posted by Gideon Banda at 6:46 AM Wednesday, September 11, 2002 Hmm, well that's good. The boys in my family are car finatics! My dad used to be a car salesman so he knows just about eveything there is to know about cars. I, however, don't care so much. I have little knowledge in them but only enough to get me around. My family has a camary. It's a nice little car. Here we usually learn to drive automatics, but manuals aren't entirely uncommon. All day long today, I've heard nothing but one memorial service after another. It been really nice but it's made today so very morbid. I'm ready to get back to our normal schedule. I am also very very excited to talk to you on the phone. How about Sun evening? I can't garauntee anything yet because me and my other represenative still have to plan our nurseing meeting and I don't know when they'll pick. If not then, we'll have to wait for a while because this weekend I'm going to stay with my sister at college (which I am VERY excited about) and next weekend, I am going on a leadership retreat with some of my girlfriends from church. So we WILL get in touch, but I'm not so sure when. When are you doing school ministry? Is it in the morning everyday or what? I hope that your classes go well. Please let me know what becomes of them.posted by Bethany at 9:47 PM well, here's the no.254733559877.This is my roomate's mobilephone no.his name is chris do you remember him?I get to sleep mostly at 10.00pm which I think is 3.00pm in your state so it would be good if you could call before that time.Talking of reading, did I tell you the Bible reading plan I have?It's a 3 months programme and very tight.Right now I'm behind it by 10 books and like today I'm supposed to read the whole book of Daniel in one sitting! Also consider that I like to read many other books.My whole point is I think that reading is really cool and I'm really impressed by your interest in books I think we really have a lot in common and that's one thing I don't see in many people, you know?Hey it's realy cool to drive and I'm happy for you.I enjoy driving though I do not have a driving licence yet so I do not drive for very long distances but I'll get myself one very soon.What kind of a car do your parents have?Do you also learn to drive using a manual gear in America or you only learn to drive automatic cars?There are very few automatic cars here.Hey sorry for all this car talk but that's one area of interest for me, so what car would you like to own in future?You I also feel that no words can actually express what you mean to me and how I feel about you I keep praying and hoping that my plans will work fast and that soon I'll see you to tell you in your eyes what you mean to me.please keep praying for God's will about it coz in about a months time or slightly more I will have known how things will go about that.Goodnightposted by Gideon Banda at 5:29 AM Tuesday, September 10, 2002 Hey there. Sometimes, I just don't feel very encouraging. Maybe because I get frustrated with this one girl who won't ever listen to me and I think that I could help her if she would. I'm glad that I can encourage you though, you do the same for me. I can't even tell you how much you mean to me. I will pray for your teaching to go well. Guess what? My dad gave me some books today. I was excited. I got Screwtape Letters, Jesus Freaks and Case for Christ. Not that I don't have enough books to read already. I'm going to be learning to drive soon so I'm kind of excited about that too, but I'm nervous too. I'm looking forward to calling you. I'm sorry this isn't very long but I need to go. I'll write a longer one later. I promise.posted by Bethany at 9:58 PM Hi girlposted by Gideon Banda at 8:45 AM Monday, September 09, 2002 I'm afriad that I'm not a very encouraging person, especailly when I have to write it down. I apologize in advance. You know the song trading my sorrows? IT's an amazing song and excelent verse it is again in 2 Cor, chap 4 "We are hard pressed on every side but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair ,presecuted, not aboandon, struck down but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be relvealed in our body." Isn't that cool? Later it days " Therefore we do not lose heart. THough outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardlly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are recieving for us an eternal reward that far out weighs them all." I love that passage and clung to it so much last school year when I was struglling with some different issues. I miss you so much and I've manageged to save a little money so would you mind if I called you? Is that possilbe even? I don't know. I've never placed a call to Africa. I would like to talk to you so very much becasue your pain is my pain... and becasue I think that it'd cheer you up. It is really late and I'm going to be a zombee tommorrow if I don't get some sleep. You are always in my prayers.posted by Bethany at 11:04 PM Hi thereposted by Gideon Banda at 1:54 AM |
