Lately...core fun...life

        I'm working on making butterflies out of the same type of yarn as the little hearts I've made before.  Yesterday some of our core and brother core group went out to a girl in our core's grandparents' house for a sort of birthday party for some people in our group.  That was pretty fun.  I got to pet some horses and I fed them chunks of an apple I had been eating.  We also went on a hayride and some cows kind of chased us.  I think they just wanted to eat the hay though.  They had a bon fire too.  Some of the guys kept wanting to run up a giant log that was in the fire and jump over the whole thing.  Our core advisor (Sarah) wouldn't let them though.  The stars looked really amazing.  Then we had some brownies and ice cream, which was really good.  After that we went snipe hunting.  That was interesting, but I was not thrilled.  The girl's grandparents said it was fun to have us come over because sometimes it can get kind of boring with just them there or something.  It was to get off campus and go over there too.  I'm just not going to go snipe hunting again I think.  I'm learning the chords and scale for the key of G in guitar.  I like guitar, I have weekly lessons now. 
      
 I saw a really big aloe plant here a few weeks ago.  That was cool.  I wasn't accepted to go down the program which determines if I can stay another year or not.  I might be accepted for the later one.  At this point I don't know what I'm doing next year though.  I'll probably apple to a couple of colleges.  I just don't want to get in a bunch of debt when I don't know what job to do kind of.  I definately want to go to college, I just don't know what for.  Well, I'll see I guess.  I know what I want to learn, but I don't having to have responsibilties attached.  That's just life, I'm learning to deal with it.  : )

I love you, God bless, have a good day!  --Jazz

The trip to the farm sounds fun. I looked at the pictures posted to your profile from there. I wish I could've been there to pet the horses and go for a hay ride!

Keep praying for God to reveal the next step for you. I'll pray for that, too.
Wonderful verses!

love you much,
Mom

Becoming New...

Good evening y'all, It has been a long day, but it has gone by fast.  Sort of ironic.  I'm sitting at home trying to get some rest from this cold that's clinging to me like a crawfish...??  I know I've been at work too long when I start sounding out words in my head that I see--like the word, Th-i-n-k-ing.  Or I start saying the words that way to adults when they ask me a question. This 2016-17 school year I am a LITERACY TUTOR in AmeriCorps.  It sounds kind of fancy when you put it that way.  I spend my days working one-on-one with about 16 different students on various reading interventions.  We work on short reading passages or blending together small words.  This also includes a lot of paperwork, data entry, prep work, bribing and coaxing via small toys, candy, and cracker items.  It should involve a lot more praise than scolding, more high-fives than head-shaking, and you get the picture.  The work is often rewarding, but also ...

Hi everybody!

Hello everybody! I've never had a blog before.   I have Facebook though.  I don't really know what to do.  If other people can comment on here feel free to ask me about my life  : )   Oh, apparently you guys can comment so that's good.              So this is Jasmine Fairbanks and I am at the Teen Mania Ministry's Honor Academy in Garden Valley, Texas which a Christian leadership school/ministry internship, basically, yet it's a lot more.  It's sort of like being on a mission trip because we are working toward spreading the gospel, but we stay in one place and reach people through the phones, etc.  I call for the Minneapolis Acquire the Fire youth conference.  Our event is on Feb. 4th & 5th, which is in like 2 weeks!  I'm excited, I get to go and help!  We'll help set up the event and with registration, etc.  This weekend is also the Housto...

Today I played soccer!!!

So today was a really good day!  I went to church, played soccer, knit a little bit, read some of my Bible, worked on some stuff, etc.  Often I worry about what I have to do instead of actually taking time to enjoy life and other people, so it was really good to do that today. I need to learn to live where I'm at. I realized that w/ playing soccer and not worrying about anything for a while was the way things should be and it was really beautiful. I was kind of the goalie and I saw the others playing, carefree and running around under the big blue sky with the sun shining down on them in the warm weather. It was such evidence of a loving God.  The sunshine looked like the rays from a smiling father beaming down on his beloved children.   God is showing me that life is good, I am blessed, He is faithful, and I can trust Him.  It's always when I give me time away or follow God into doing something that I get back so much more, like the P...
