My Personal Testimony @ Oasis Vineyard. My dad had passed away in May. From that day on up to this point my days were an endless battle. This is some of that story.
September 22nd, 2018
I was asked by Randy several months prior to speak at the Christ’s Love Vineyard ladies retreat in September of 2018. I was scared but quickly agreed. Because there was something that Randy didn’t know at the time she asked me. Several months before she asked me Jesus told me I needed to get over my fear of public speaking. So I went to Daniel (one of the pastors at Oasis Vineyard) and told him this. So Daniel gave me the ability to make a few announcements, to help Miss Peggy with Operation Christmas Child announcements, and I was also praying for local bodies of Christ all on Sunday morning in front of the entire congregation. Here is some of the same story given at Oasis Vineyard the Sunday prior and I also shared my story of how the Christ Love Vineyards ladies retreat from the year before had affected my life up to that point as well. I was speaking in front of a very large group of women I did not even know.
Interview With Tayler On Her First Day Of School – August 28, 2022
In this podcast I am interviewing my granddaughter Tayler on her first day of 3rd grade. Her teacher’s name is Miss Gannon. The best part of her day was playing games. The hardest thing she had to do was write words. The easiest part of the day was to get on the rug. Not sure what they do on the rug? Apparently no one did anything funny on her first day. She ate lunch with her friends and played tag at recess. One of the rules at school that is different from at home is touching. She does have a lot of no tough limitations at home. She doesn’t remember who she sat with at lunch. She had a rough time at school with writing her words. She said “it makes my arms hurt”. She also said when she struggles with something it makes it hard to listen to the instructions.
Interview With Aiden On His First Day Of School August 28, 2022
Aiden is my grandson. He started 1st grade this year. At first he was not able to remember his teachers name but as I asked him other questions he was able to remember. His teacher’s name is Miss Nicki. His favorite part of school was getting a cookie and a cub of baby “mellows”. The hardest thing for his was doing work. The easiest part of school was Miss Nicki asked what they wanted to be when they grew up. Aiden has maintained he wants to be a chef or an astronaut. When aske dif anyone did anything funny he told me his teacher made funny faces. He played with his friends at recess and climbed some sort of rope thing. The rules at school and at home seem to be similar. He is not allowed to climb on the couch at home and he is not allowed to climb on the table at school.
Towards the end of the interview he got distracted because his grandpa came in and started rifling through the treats sitting on the table. We ended the interview with him saying something about school and chalk and that he sat with his friends at lunch. Aiden’s biggest struggle so far this year is having a new teacher. He had a good teacher in kindergarten.
