I have been very spotty in my posting as of late and for that I apologize to those 5 of you who read this. I will do my best to give you the Reader’s Digest version.
Blog - Have settled on a skin I like very well that is clear to read. Woo hoo. I will probably be tweaking on the colors and fonts in the days and weeks to come so comments are appreciated.
Work - Well, it is work. The schedule for next year is being worked on and I am able to help with that via my database that was poo pooed upon earlier. One day, they will see that it is a great tool. Ah well, apparently not in this lifetime. I was struck by Melissa’s blog post and the thought of making God my portion at work as well as in the rest of my life. I hope to be able to prayerwalk my place of employ since I have the gripping about it down to a science. ;) I am praying for a positive attitude as that is the only thing I have power over. Circumstances are out of my control. God has those in His hands, I don’t need to try to control them, cause I cannot. No matter how much I want to.
Church - We did an off-rite VBS at a local school. It was amazing to be allowed into this venue. One of our church members is a teacher there and we were able to get into the school with his help. The week was hectic going back and forth from R-mond to Lex but it was very beneficial. The children had a good time, the church volunteers saw a new arena of service, the community saw our desire to invest our time in them, and the principal invited us back and said we could come back more often than once a year. How absolutely God is that?!?!?!?!?!!!!!! I am praying that certain negative sentiment within the church be turned around so that we can glorify God in greater ways. I have been struggling again as to stay or go and as God has constantly answered, I am to stay where I am and continue in what He has given me to do. Please keep this in your prayers.
Parents - The parents are doing well. I try to e-mail their newsletter out to most of you all. If you don’t get it you can go to their mission board’s website. Click on Missionaries then click on the Hensleys and you can read through their past newsletters as well. The church in Salesopolis is rolling, slowly but surely.
My Life - Well, this is the part that is not so easy to condense. Work has been a plague to me. I am unhappy and am seeking God to restore my joy. He will do it, I know He is faithful. Church is going well as you can see. My personal life is being filled by those who love me. I am an unofficial member of the “F” family. I spent the weekend at their place and I felt so loved and cared for. (Granted, my apartment is a wreck and could have been cleaned – this was better.) I also have a standing e-date with the love of my life. Thursdays, you will find me online chatting with W from 4-5. So don’t be offended if you see me online for chat and I don’t respond quickly or at all. You see. I am sooooooooooo in love I almost make myself sick. ;) I have often wondered why God in His infinite wisdom has brought me to this point in my life, still single. I have struggled with this a lot. God has been faithful all the while and He was waiting for my obedience. I have been pondering, due to conversations with A, about the entire “THE ONE” concept that we as Christians have set forth. There is a stigma that seems to follow in the shadow, you can screw up and miss THE ONE and then what? I lived in that for a very long time. In God’s mercy, He revealed to me through others, that each relationship was a stepping stone to make me, me. I would have loved to be married with children by now but that was not what needed to happen to being God the greater glory. I needed to learn more about obedience and submission to my Lord and Savior. When I found where obedience, submission, peace & contentment lived, I also found immeasurable indescribable blessings. One such blessing is the relationship with W. He is an amazing man of God and that is what I have been praying for all this time. I am still struggling with feeling worthy of the relationship so please pray for that for me. I am also greatly blessed by the friends and family God has given me along the way. (Stay tuned for future shout outs to those I love) I am still seeking to find more of God each and every day. I have fallen behind in this lately. I am up against a wall of fear I have come to know all too well. More on that at another time if I am lead to share the rest of the story…
Wrap Up - So, I am doing pretty well in the overall. I covet your prayers as I endeavor to find more of God and to give Him the glory.
Just so you know, LOVE Y’ALL bunches.
