Hey guys! How are you? I NEED BALANCE! Does anyone relate to this? I hope to find out how to have this over the next few weeks during our sermon series BALANCE! I also want to really focus on my "Give 3". How am I going to give to God 3 hours of my time whether inside or outside the church. I know God has a plan for me (and you) if I would just ask Him, I am sure that my life would be much more balanced. Committing to things before I ask Him, saying "yes" whichout consulting Him, watching 3 hours of television at night...like this is going to help me relax, going to a girls night and standing in the parking lot until 12:30a (right Miranda and Jenn). What is balance? I encourage each of you to begin asking God this question for you. What is balance for me, may not be balance for you. (let me know what you find out... blog what the Lord shows you)
I LOVED the impromtu get together that we had on Saturday at the lake. I think we had around 20 people there. If you took pics please forward them to me and I will put them on the website. If you know how to do it, go ahead. I love hanging out with you guys! I love discussing struggles and challenges. I love talking about how we all wrestle with God. I love admitting and not being fearful to admit, I DON"T KNOW THE ANSWERS! Thank you guys for this. Jenn Brown you are the best social coordinator....and your side kick Ben isn't too bad either.
We have so many opportunities to give back, I am going to list a few. Again, don't get overwhelmed, just commit to one (if it works) I have to remember for me....what I believe the Lord desires is Him #1, my family #2, my church #3. Stacy and I read a book one time that talked about sometimes you need to be an "A" familiy and a "B" employee. This was to indicate that you are more responsible to your family, then you are to you job. Interesting huh? Please don't look at our lives as examples of this, we definately don't have it together here.
Our next outing is May 30, Friday night at the Drive IN....watch for more details. The Lock in for the Middle Schoolers is May 16 beginnning at 10p until 6a. We have different shifts that we need drivers and chaperones. The shifts include a movie, bowling and dinner and games at the church. If any of this interests you, let me know. Also the youth will be having an end of year party on Wednesday night, May 21. Aaron & Loren Echols are going to be the point people on this. They are doing a video scavenger hunt, and since most of us have had such great experiences with scavenger hunts, right? I thought some of you might want to volunteer to drive and chaperone. Oh did I mention that the winning team for the "Amazing Race" were Jana Miller (yes, not Mark), Jenn Brown, Bryan Doucet, Jeff Hatcher and me. Thank you again, Natalie & Larry for all that you did to make this an amazing night.
Okay...I have to end this...the opportunities that are coming.....
Wednesday pm - St. Judes bake sale - donate items either Tuesday or Wednesday in the church parlor's kitchen or just bring them Wednesday evening. Come purchase items too at 5p.Wed.
Saturday am - give your canned goods to the postal person for the Samaritan Center. Want to volunteer 3 hours to help sort cans at the post office or the samaritian center, call me for details.
