i would rather just sit and read my friends' blogs, and enjoy.
but i must type myself. i say that because my brain is reeling and i need yall to support me in prayer this week- hopefully you'll read this! and, i just need to get it out.
i am now a bridesmaid for a friend who is getting married friday. yay!!! very glad to be a part of thiss, even though i will be running around a bit!:)
and im going to be a mentor to a non christian romanian, while learning the language skype- style.
tomorrow im hanging out w devon and then having a meeting w the ladies that help me w kids club. somewhere in tomorrows day i need to find some time to call some dillards stores, make sure they have this dress for me to try on and hopefully get to the store after the meeting, have it fit, and buy it then. i also need shoes and a purse, and probably should go buy a strapless bra. i know, tmi. suck it up.[heres a little more tmi. i have this skin out break thing thats been going on for about a month and just finished a round of bactrim that didnt help and now i have diarrhea. apparently a common after -the- fact side effect. ]
wed im having lunch w a friend, then dinner w my gracegroup. so maybe some shopping can be done that night. thurs is the rehersal (sp?) dinner, then the wedd fri.
sat is kids club, and if any guys [or you know any guys]who know how to play the guitar want to come alongside for songs- lemme know! pete velasquez really thinks it would be good to have some music, and also for there to be a guy.
and ive made a commitment to learning romanian! and in so doing, answered a prayer request. maria was talking to marsha walenta, i think, wanting some sort of mentoring going on through the internet. they couldnt come up with anything definitive, and then marsha just said- 2 women, to step up w a heart for mentoring. thats what we'll pray for.
and we actually prayed for that tonight at the goodbye time w maria ciorba. after, i asked her what she thought was better; rosetta or another venue for learning the language. so it went very quickly from there. now i need a camera and a skype account. im such a weenie about all that stuff.
Gods pushing me in good places. reminding me that HE orders my steps. it will all work for the good of him. and such a blessing- he gave me time yesterday[and the discipline/ desire!] to sit down and lay out the kids club lesson. i NEVER get that lesson done before thurs nite, hardly ever. it was pretty much done yesterday. i just need to meet w the ladies tomorrow and iron out some very simple points.
dont put off for later what you can do right now. thats the take- home. i can be such a lazy butt, and God shows up all the time, displaying perfect timing, when i am diligent.
i prayed tonight at the meeting for fear to be removed in christian americans and romanians, specifically. for distrust in our God to be removed. i was praying that for myself more than anyone else.
Sounds like a busy week - bridesmaid duties and wedding stuff on such short notice?! I love that you are so spontaneous and easy going when it comes to fitting something like that in for a friend.
ReplyDeleteI love your honest prayer to God about the removal of distrust.
