Well today I grabbed a pair of pants to wear to work and I realized that working out at the gym has paid off. I just about gave these pants away last winter as they were just too snug. So whoopie!!!
I've been asked to facilitate a group of young adult women who have just entered U of A so they can perhaps get to know each other. Any ideas as to a "name" for this group would be awesome! I can be a "mother" figure but what do these girls want to talk about --- how to hook a guy?, am I beautiful? ???? Those are 2 things I can think of that most young college age girls are concerned about. HELP! Many of these would be girls who have just moved into Edmonton and this is their first year away from home. I really believe this is something God wants me to do but I will need "time" so pray as my schedule is NUTS.
We are also heading up a prayer ministry at our church so with us being gone lots this is also going to be challenging. We so want to give back to the local church though in whatever way we can.
I'm going to be helping from time to time care for "babies". I hope I haven't lost my touch. I used to co-ordinate the nurseries for years.
Our church has been so gracious to give us time to just "drink" and be blessed this past year but we are ready to give again. It will help us get to know people better and connect in a deeper level. I pray I'm ready for that.
I'm reading Donald Miller's book "Searching for God Knows What". I have been thoroughly blessed. He sure makes you stop and think. Our culture sure shapes even our churches and our lives in ways that are not always good. He talks about relationship with Jesus being the #1 priority of our lives. How we know that but how we practise it is so wrong. Like I'm reading this and thinking I'm giving back to the local church but I want to give to Jesus and encourage others to a deeper relationship with Jesus as that is what REALLY matters. I highly recommend this book.
