Hello Bernergirl!1) In the short time that you have accepted Jesus Christ do you spend personal time alone with God everyday?
2) What do you do to draw closer to Him?
3) What changes have you noticed so far?

(This is good stuff! 
)
1) I try to read from His word (various translations) every morning and every night and spend the day - even as I work - in prayer. It's something I've a long way to master, but I'm getting the hang of it.
2) PRAY!
3) I'm much less prone to depression and I'm easier to get along with.
4) A living? I'm not even out of high school. I do, however, clean at a dog grooming/training facility for cheap dog food and free classes.
God bless,
Lissa

1) Spelling, believe it or not, is within the realm of my forte as a writing major. Mary Poppins, however, is not.
2) God. And a lot of people. (Please don't ask me to make a complete list as it will takeforeverandgoinrunonnonpuncuatednonspacedsentenceslikethisandtakeupmorespacethanyoureyescanmakesenseof)
3) Weekend? As in "end of the week?" I know not this foreign word which you speak... <--- (My most used smiley, BTW.)

A writing major? What are you going to do with that?
Working at a animal care place - is that a future career interst or just an easy job?
Just so you know, because in your time here at CF it will come up again, the airspeed of a swallow is 24 miles per hour. see here: http://www.style.org/unladenswallow/

Writing is something I do academically and for pleasure. I could potentially write on the side, but mostly it was a focus that I could have to get into this school and avoid the drugged-out local school.
Dog grooming? Easy job? You don't know many dog people, do you? It's something I love doing (my animals are obsessively clean and I keep my retired male in show coat - not easy work). I was born into a dog show family, so it isn't like this is something I found in magazine ad or anything.

sorry! I didn't mean that dog grooming is easy. I saw that episode of Dirty Jobs on TLC about it, and I admire that you are willing to do it 'cause it's certainly not something one would do 'just for the money'. No, what I meant was that it is generally easier to get a job like that at your age than say a clerical office job or that type of thing; easier to get than to do, maybe?What kind of dog do you have and why is he retired - age? Do you breed them as well or just show?

Yeah. Are you familiar with the OFA? Orthopedic Foundation for Animals? They have board vets all over the country that check the hips and elbows on dogs and give them a rating based on the loose or tight fit of the ball of the joint into the socket to prevent hip and elbow dysplasia from permeating breeding lines (that's why if you are looking for a dog most dog people will tell you to check and make sure that the parents have had their OFA and other health clearances done and to see the original copies of the certificates from the breeder.) Kahaus (my male) has OFA excellent hips and, aside from a weak rear, he's great structurally, so he was a very sought-after stud for many years (mostly before I got him when he was three). He's going on six now, and in a breed where the average life span is 6-9, he's gettin' up in years, so he's getting the "big snip" as soon as we have the money (which is not cheap for 110 lb, 6 year old dog).
Conformation shows (which would be like Westminster) are no longer about the betterment of the health of the dogs, IMO, so I don't really bother with them. Performance (obedience, agility, rally obedience, etc.) is what I try to do with my dogs, though it isn't a big focus of mine lately, with school and all. I really am not too interested in breeding as I don't feel it benefits the dogs any longer either. Too much inbreeding. It is apart of my family heritage, however, so even though I might not breed my dogs personally, I'm probably never going to be out of the breeding world.
I want to learn more about ministry and how that sort of thing is run and set up as I am interested in setting up a canine ministry using dog training, dog grooming, and trained and certified therapy animals and handlers to benefit the community via my church. (Our church has the whole set up for creating ministry from within the church staff, but the cool thing is that most of our ministries have started by people in the church saying, "Here is what we are going to do and we would like to do it as a church activity with your blessing, but we are going to do whether you allow us classifications as a ministry or not..." )
So was that a novella or what?

Oh, BTW, no one is going to hire a groomer my age unless they are desperate for a pet washer. Dog grooming is an art form and untrained artists don't produce work that is as good. I can do basic stuff that I learnt from my Grandma, but you give me a Poodle and I'll give you someone else's business card. Which is why I'm going to grooming school.
I actually do work for a groomer right now, but only as a cleaning lady and doing the occasional admin work. (I think it is an awesome job, though. I work with great people.)

1) U-u-u-u-u-u-uhhh... hmmmm... Lemme think... I'll have to get back to you on that one...
2) Homework! Homework, homework, homework, homework, homework, church, grandparents house, homework, grooming my animals, homework, seeing if my editor wants me to follow up on the central issue of the school year in the school newspaper, homework, hopefully talk to my best friend on the phone, homework, homework, homework, and homework. (And hopefully somewhere in there I will eat and sleep... )
Did I mention homework?
