Wonderful Week

I have had a wonderful but busy week, since I last posted. Yesterday we had the first day of Upward games and they went very well! I was pleased with both my boys teams and my cheer squads!

I was looking forward to an awesome sermon this morning but mother nature decided to throw me a curve ball so I am home early. However I several things to do this evening at church so I can still have an awesome time later this afternoon!!!

I have lots of thing s going on in my life and I am trying to get myself reorganized after the holidays and I am getting back on track but not there 100%. I need a day just to catch up on "paperwork" I was thankful to hear someone was going to be in charge of our Food Pantry at church and that I can just go in and volunteer once a week like I wanted to do. Once they get the office and counseling services set up I really want to work in that area.

I am just rambling now....

My morning at church...

I received an invitation yesterday to consider serving on my associational WMU team, I did not say yes or no but instead asked for time to pray and think about it.

time commitment is not much a couple nights a quarter....and it is a position that allows me to serve with 2 of my passions..missions and young women in grades 7-12. I hope God will give me the wisdom and His will in the next couple of weeks.

I had a wonderful morning at church this morning...

In Sunday school we started our new curriculum which I really do like but I think its going to take some time for the girls to get use to an in depth study as the previous curriculum was fairly light. This one is so much better because of the depth it will go into but it will take a couple weeks for us to work all the kinks out...

The Pastor started a new series of Sermons this morning:

Jan 09 The Balanced Life

Today's sermon was on Centered Living
Scripture was John 17:20-26 and Gal 3:26-4:7

The scripture in John focuses on Jesus prayer for us(believers) and how He desires us to be one just as God, He and the Holy Spirit are one. (vs 21 emphasizes this truth). The Galatians passage shows us how we are sons(daughters) of God. We are to be relational giving and sharing love with those around us.

What does God want you to do?
1. God wants you to enjoy relationship with Him.
2. God wants you to share that same relationship with others.

Its' 2009

It's that time of year when everyone sets out to make their resolutions and I am no exception I have goals for 2009....

Goal #1 To keep consistent in the Word of God! Life is so much better when I stay in the Word!

Goal #2 Learn to say NO! I will be taking over as Women's Ministry Director for my church this year and that alone is going to be a huge job. I will also be teaching Sunday School to our 7th and 8th grade girls! Then I will be assistant director for VBS! So that will be plenty on my plate so I must learn to say no!

Goal#3 probably should have been included above but My husband and I have been volunteering in our church's Food pantry and we will continue to do that in 2009. Our goal is to get the Food pantry past the beginning stages...

Goal #4 To begin a consistent exercise routine, I am seriously out of shape and know that exercise is a part of staying healthy. For Christmas this year, I received a treadmill, an Ab Lounger and a recumbent bike so there are no excuses for not exercising!

Goal #5 to read through the Bible Chronologically.

Goal #6 My husband and I are going to implement a weekly Family night to spend with our kids teaching the Truths of God to them while doing fun activities.

Goal #7 To keep myself accountable to others for staying on task with all my 2009 goals!
