Kirsten: I'm on a Boat
http://upstartgirl2.blogspot.com/2009/10/im-on-boat.html
Saturday, October 03, 2009. I'm on a Boat. Hi All, Lest you think ALL I do is catch babies, here are some pics from a recent excursion to White Beach in Puerto Galera. It is a 2 hour journey north along the coast. We visited a waterfall, called Tamaraw Falls on our way. We went with the New Zealand short term missions team who is here for 10 days. Fun times! White Beach and our boat. The Captain. I really wanted to sit there! Super attractive, I know ; ). After our swim some of us ate fresh coconut!

Thursday, October 11, 2007. Thankfully God's made me an optimistic person, a person full of faith in reliance on Him to carry me through my day. Eventually I'm sure I'll actually look forward to going to work, but until that day arrives I'm just trying to tackle each moment of each day one baby step at a time. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tuesday, November 28, 2006. Uggggi just spent an hour writing a post and my internet went out and now it's gone. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I hate computers! Sunday, November 19, 2006. Christmas is my favortite holiday of the year, but I'm somewhat alarmed that a local radio station (93.9) is already playing Christmas music 24/7 and have been since the beginning of Novemember. Does this strike anyone else as a bit premature? I mean, Thanksgiving hasn't even passed yet. Saturday, November 18, 2006. The average numbe...

Kirsten: December 2006

Monday, December 25, 2006. Though it's hard to remember after so many times watching "It's a Wonderful Life" and going to the mall, Christmas is the birthday of Jesus of Nazareth, a poor Palestinian peasant and carpenter who taught people to love and forgive. If that's all you know about Jesus, Christmas will have only about as much meaning as the birthday of Abraham Lincoln or of Martin Luther King, Jr. Does God understand what I deal with? Does God care about me? I've been enjoying time with my cousin ...

Wednesday, October 21, 2009. I would be amiss if I didn't include at least one blog proclaiming how awesome midwifery and natural birth is! So, here it goes, my attempt (with some fun quotes from Ina May Gaskin) to scream from the roof top the benefits of midwifery, natural and woman-centered birth. A question I often get when others find out I'm considering becoming a midwife is "what are the benefits of using a midwife? Your body is not a lemon. You are not a machine. The Creator is not a carel...Of co...

Tuesday, May 08, 2007. Blog for promting this post after many months of no productivity here. I'd be surprised if anyone still checks my site (kudos to you if you do; ) First things first:. List of 7 things I've learned from my relationships with men:. 1) How to "just be". 2) How to be lazy and not feel guilty about it. 4) The brain of a man really IS different than the one of a woman. 5) The true love of Christ. 7) How to just be myself and still feel loved. 4) How to flirt (still not quite there ;).

Wednesday, September 23, 2009. And the pictures continue.I eat fist usually once a day! And here are some pictures of the children in the orphanage. This little girl came to the orphanage severely malnourished about 1 month ago. She was very depressed and with a very flat affect. It's only within the last week that she started to smile and cry. The Ruel Foundation really does a nice job of. Making the kids healthy. You are so in your element! So glad to see these pics. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Saturday, February 28, 2009. Eating with the seasons. It started last year, my interest in eating locally and seasonally. A dear friend gave me Simply in Season and ever since my interest has grown. Last summer I read Wendell Berry's The Unsettling of America and am currently listening to Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver on CD. My impulsive nature wants to up and move to a farm! Until then, here's a quote from Kingsolver's book to ponder:. Tuesday, February 17, 2009. Peace to you all!

Friday, October 23, 2009. I've been thinking and praying a lot lately about how I could continue to help this organization even after I leave and decided that I'd like to send a box of supplies back here shortly after I get home. So, I thought it would be great to start a collection of donations. If you feel so inclined, The Ruel Foundation could use your donations! List of Birthing Clinic Needs:. Latex and non/latex exam gloves (small or medium). Sterile gloves (sizes 6-7.5). List of Orphanage Needs:.
