I'm Back

Hi everyone!

Sorry again for my absence. I had a busy two weeks.

Last week I got my mask for my machine changed, had my last two therapy appointments, saw a play, took the kids to chapel, and took the kids to our home school bowling league. I am sure I blinked and the week was gone.

This week we were enjoying Pastor's School! It was the best year yet as far as I am concerned. I really love being around teaching, preaching, and God's people so much. Life would be so much easier if that happened all the time... but of course it is not reality.

There were so many great speakers, that I could not begin to tell you about all of what we were taught. I plan on going over my notes to really let it all "sink in". I picked the afternoon sessions on prayer and was greatly encourage by this time. We had a two hour session each day and one hour was spent in small groups praying for anything that was on our hearts. It was such a blessing to see so many ladies pray. I looked forward to this time each day, which is odd for me, because I don't like to be with new people....I am shy. Once I get to know people I am good, but I don't like to be the one to start talking. I met a sweet elderly lady on Tuesday afternoon and we were able to be in our prayer groups two times together. We talked as much as we could and exchanged our personal information. It was an answer to prayer that I would have someone to talk to. I asked God to let me be by someone that I could be a blessing to, rather than someone that could bless me. I can't speak for my new friend, but I know that I was incredibly blessed! On the second day in our groups, a Pastor's wife came up to me and she was the sweetest lady. So, God really blessed my afternoons greatly.

Today, we all went soul winning. Jim had to work after that and I did some shopping, cleaning, finished my Sunday School lesson for tomorrow, and took a bike ride. I am going to try to get out with the kids a few times a week now that the weather is getting better.

I am so looking forward to church tomorrow. I certainly do love my church. Have a great night.
