Yes I'm over 18.....Amber



3 exams down...2 more to go...yeah that's right...take that exam! Heehee...today was GREAT! I wrote my exam, went for a run, Christmas shopping, visit with an old friend...AND THEN...
Okay so I commute to Winnipeg and everyday that I drive into the city I pass this amazing prison (maximum security). And everyday I always want to go inside. I've lived in Stonewall for like 16 years and I've never been inside which is pretty lame of me, I admitt. BUT today I did NOT drive by and I turned on my right turn signal and I drove my little Escourt right up the hill to the entrance. I wasn't sure what I was going to do or accomplish but I wanted IN!
So I go in thinking that there must be some kind of information desk or offices or something...No. I walk in and there's four armed guards with this huge security entrance with bars behind them. SO COOOOL!!Then these guards were asking me what I wanted and all of a sudden I was asking about job/volunteer opportunities and of course they all thought I was on crack and asked me how old i was. Maybe it was because I was on the verge of some major giddiness or maybe because I had some geeky glasses on...I dunno,. The one guard didn't even know what to do so he gave me a number to call (which turns out to be someone I know...STef you know who...).
Anyways that was just such a feeling...to you know...do something you've always wanted/meaning to do. I dunno! God was just like...lets do it! stop talking about it and do it! So many things in my life I want to stop talking about and actually do. So I would love to volunteer once a week or something or I have no idea what's happening next. I should be getting a phone call tonight!

I hope you get to volunteer in the prison! It is a really good time/experience; Every Month our church goes out to the federal prison in Prince Albert and does the chapel service. Most of the time they just want someone to talk to but when God moves in the prison crazy things happen!
