On Sunday, our pastor taught a great lesson about how God specially designed each one of us before we were even conceived. The drama team also did a great skit about how we are all made by God's design but people and the world around us can hamper or try to change the original plan. I'll post the link here if anyone would like to listen. We have moved to a smaller baptist church within the last year and are just now settling in. I wasn't sure that I'd be able to as I have been missing...really, the people (our friends) at our old church. I have found that one of the best ways to get to know people is to get involved. I ended up working during VBS week in June and met lots of people. Folks at New Life are also very friendly and welcoming. The greeters knew us by name the second time we walked through the church doors....that was huge! I could go on but I now know for sure that this church is where God wants us to be right now. I am thankful for a great pastor and his family as well as an awesome worship team. Before I forget, here's the link to that sermon:
I'll also post another excellent teaching which is titled, " God Hears My Prayers." I know I've asked the question before...does God really hear me when I pray? Here's that link:
I just got home from bible study at Jenni's....we just finished week seven of Beth Moore's "A Woman's Heart God's Dwelling Place." Powerful message tonight...I can always tell...it was really quiet after the lesson when Beth prayed. Bedtime now for me. Early day at work. I have to be there by seven. The great thing about my job is that I work hard on T, W and Thursdays then get four day weekends all the time!
We have a busy weekend coming up. Hannah has a big party to go to on Saturday which is also a sleepover. On Sunday afternoon, Hannah has her first voice recital. She's singing two songs. Each student is also singing one Amy Grant song. Hannah's is "Welcome to Our World."
Finally, our new dog Miley did everything in her power to destroy the house while we were gone today. She ran around in the mud after John ran the sprinklers and then decided to jump on every piece of furniture she could find. Then she chewed up a few things including the front cover of my bible study. I found muddy paw prints on the kitchen counter and the dinner table. Hannah called me at work to warn me. We had it cleaned up in an hour. My new vacuum has great suction. I calmly explained to Miley that she needs to stay off of the furniture or she'll have to stay in the yard while we're away...I don't like that. Our dogs have always had the freedom to go in and out via the doggie door. I love Miley. I think Scooby will eventually too. She just needs love and lots of guidance.
Goodnight and sleep well!
