| I do hope that each of you was blessed with as beautiful a Christmas as I was! My family and several "family extensions" just had a lot of fun enjoying each other. I realized in a new way this year how "poor" my family is and how "cheap" our gifts and celebrations. And I just can't tell you how glad that makes me feel. While we don't have the means to celebrate like some, we don't even have to try to celebrate with lots of money and stuff because we have something money can't buy to celebrate! I just love knowing Jesus Schools out !!! nearly 5 weeks without studies and I am not complaining! Don't get me wrong. I like studying but my first college class was not without its challenges and some lessons were learned the hard way It is good to have a little time for things I haven't had time for in a long time. College sure is different from Bible school. Some days I am really glad to be interacting with people from such varied backrounds, and I love spending time at home with my family but I really miss all of my school friends. I also miss the intense Bible study but love seeing God and His laws in science, math, etc. Lord willing next semester will be A&PI and Psych101. My new job working as a unit assistant at Grandview hospital on the telemetry unit was a gift from God after several weeks of fairly intense searching. It's not all roses but overall I really like my job. I look forward to being more proficient in my role every day. There is sooo much to learn! Working both first and third shift is tough but my manager is working for me on getting something a little easier to function with. God has worked it all out this far we'll see what the future holds. I would also love to not have to miss Church every other week but some one does have to work so I'll do my part but jump for the chance when I don't have to work! After dipping real low in Sept. my health is steadily improving. Bad days are so much easier to deal with when they are not every day! Taking it easy does not come naturally but I am trying to learn to listen to my body and be sensible. I don't understand at all the whys of me being sick for over a year now. But God has done so much with ugly, confusing things in the past that I can't help but think that He might be up to something really swell and beautiful!! | | |
| You know, I love life and I hate being sick! I have not truly felt well since a little before Christmas and I am tired of being optimistic about it. We found low iron levels in June so I had hoped to be one hundred percent by now but have finally had to admit that things are only getting worse. I have contacted my Dr. and head for blood tests in the morning. You can pray with me that we will find something fast and that that something will be easily treatable. I am almost frustrated enough to do a lot to start feeling better but hope for an easy road. Time for a more positive note! Last Saturday was a FUN and wonderful trip down to VA for Steven and Jenna Yoder. My six youngest siblings, my parents and I were joined first by Twila Miller and than by Peter Byler on the way down. It was great to do a bit of catching up with old friends! Then to see more school friends there!!! Altogether it made the long trip worth it even with the breakdown on the way home Sat. night. Getting home at 5am on a Sun. morning really stinks! This weekend I am looking forward to spending three full days plus a couple hours with my entire family plus Laura's man. We are going to some friends cabin to kick back and relax, enjoy each other and nature, etc. Work? I've been doing home health care but the current job might be short lived. It is a lot slower paced than the nanny work that I have been doing but I guess for right now that might be good. Okay, that is all for now so Good night to one and all. | | |
| Greetings friends! My heart is full but words are totally insufficient. How long will it be till Jesus returns? We live in one amazingly messed up world. I love life, I love people. I want people to have life, real life. Why don't they want it? Why am I so slow to speak? . . . This week has been a bit busy. I signed up for a four credit college class at our local community college this fall. I also wrote up a Resume but only sent it one place so far. My summer jobs are ending and I really need to be making some money if I am to go on with school. I was getting up tight about it but than remembered that God has a plan and His plan is always trustworthy. I am out of things to say, so I will quit! | | |
| Greetings Friends~ I really don't have much to say but thought I'd drop a line or two to say I am still alive. I am home for an unknown amount of time. I absolutely love my job working as a nanny. I work for two primary families. One has three children. Esther 13, Susanna 8, and Caleb 5. The other has five children. Jacob 8, Gabriel 6, Colett 3, Kateri and Joseph both 2 months. I also occasionally clean empty apts. dirty work but okay for now and than. I am back to teaching the junior Sunday School class (when I am home) and had the awesome priviledge of teaching 5th graders in VBS for a week last month. My intelligent and attentive students made teaching a joyful challenge! While I am on awesome things I got to do, June 28-July 4 found me with several siblings and lots of friends in OR to attend the wedding of Steven Yoder and Jenna (Krabill)Yoder. It was absolutely an awesome time of witnessing a beautiful wedding, connecting with friends, and seeing God's handiwork. My newest venture is singing with the New Creations Choir. I do not consider myself gifted in the area of music but I do love music and am excited about the gift of this opportunity. The next disconected note on my life is my health. I started thinking about it that I didn't feel well in Dec. but decided to ignore it and hope it would go away. By the time I got home from Costa Rica it was undeniably worse. PTL it is just extremely low iron levels and somewhat low progestrone levels. The iron level's were close to the danger zone but because we caught it In a couple of months I should be well on the way to being myself again. It is hard for me not to be able to go at my normal pace. I want to learn to take this as a gift from God as time to focus on Him when I can't run like crazy but somedays that is hard. I continue my involvement in the ambulance although less than at times. And this is a rather ubrupt ending but that's all I have to say so. Have a great day with Jesus! | | |
| My dear prayer supporters and friends~ I will never be able to thank you enough for your prayers and support for my and my friends especially over the past three weeks. As those of you who have been receiving the updates know, many things did not go as planned. Often through these "other plans" and sometimes during "our plans" we saw God at work in amazing ways. Other times we asked for big miracles and did not get the answer we wanted. In these times it was easy to feel like God was distant and uninvolved. But time and again God gave us reminders of His greatness and worthyness to be trusted because He is God and not because He caters to our whims. For me, God was by far the biggest highlight of tour. Even during the times of wrestling with no apparent answer, I felt like God was reminding us that there was a bigger picture that we knew nothing about. We may never know what all went on in the spiritual realm during this tour but I am very certain that amazing things happened. Some programs were better than others but over all they were amazing times. By the end of tour we no longer needed our folders for the spanish words. Musically, we kept working on things and I think the result was reasonable good. But so much more than either of these things was the way God used the message of our songs to bless us as a choir and the people we were ministering to. Apparently it is not real common for a choir to learn Spanish and share the gospel message in this way and to see God bless people through us made every once of effort more than worth it. The presence of God at programs was indescribably sweet. I cannot tell you what an amazing, awesome God it is that I serve!!! Medically. . . I really do not know what to say. I was stretched like I never imagined. Sometimes I loved it, sometimes I let it get the better of me and stress me out. In some ways I am disapointed that I missed out on being with the tour largely because of my responsabilities. In other ways I was doing what I love and will always treasure the memories and experiences. One thing I know, I was where God wanted me and He gave me what I needed to do what had to be done! A special thanks to those of you who answered questions and encourgaed me in my job of being nurse! There is so much more I could write but I think I should stop. If you did not get any or all of the updates they are on the web at Hansmast.com. Or if you have specific questionf form me I love to talk about tour. Overall, tour was one of the best experiences of my life and way to short. I must say that I truly love and even like every single person in our group and will miss them. I love our songs, I loved the Cultural experience, but all of this fades a little as I think of the God who gave a reason for this tour to happen and worked the miracle of us all getting back to the states alive. And this same God is the God who is or wants to be an integril part of each day of each of your lives. He is the God who is with me each step of the way and will be waiting when I get HOME!!! PTL!! because of Jesus, Lucinda | | |
