Life has been trucking on

I am getting use to having someone else in the house, and the house rules have been respected for the most part. The road has been bumpy and I have tried to deal with the bumps with love and patients. The main goals of getting her job back and getting her school switched have been done.

The day after the biggest bump in the road I suggested that she join me at my small group. I didn't really give her a choice just sort of said I think you should come we are leaving at... She enjoyed it and intends to come again. She has also been joining the small group I lead here with a couple of the teen guys. She brought a friend this week which sort of changed the plans but it was a good change. We talked about forgiveness. It was a good discussion and her friend actively joined in.

My teen and I have talked about her living a me centered life and how that is working out and that maybe she should try living a God centered life.

We had our ladies breakfast this past Saturday and I made the mistake of letting the ladies know I was available to help. I was surprised at the email I got back and I should not have been. It said "Okay, we elected you MC" They had a basic idea for the game and a few questions but the game was not complete with rules and how it was going to work. My guest jumped in and helped which was a great help, we had about ten hours to do it all. We did it in 8. :-)The theme was cruise vacation and I created a character of the cruise director. The whole thing was a big hit everyone seemed to have a good time. The feed back I heard was all positive.

I have an idea for the next breakfast. The theme is my favorite things. Now I need to write a script to go with the idea. Any volunteers for editing the content for the lameness factor?

We will be starting the book Ragamuffin Gospel Looking forward to it.


I think the biggest thing that has been happening for me is the love of the body of my church. The ladies I worked with on the breakfast are also the ladies I use to work on these things with and have study with since I first stepped into that church. I have been told over the past few weeks how much I have been missed, how glad they are that I am back, and how that have been praying for me while I was gone. I joined in the Sunday AM class and was filled with joy to be studying the word with them. I have been reminded yet again about the importance of being a part of the family and the unconditional love of that family.
