At some point, I may go into the details but for right now, privacy and common sense dictates that I don't. I will say that it felt like my entire world world crumbled, but I am putting the pieces back together. I feel more like myself, and so much better, than I have in a while. If it took my world being shaken to do this, then I'm grateful for it.
So some updates!
- I'm proud that my church tackles the hard stuff, but I wish I knew of advance sermons. Yesterday, we brought our neighbors to our church for the first time. The sermon was on sex. Married sex, single sex, SEX SEX SEX SEX! I was so mortified and uncomfortable for my neighbors. I tried to rationalize by thinking that God wanted them to hear that sermon, but I really don't want to think about my neighbor's sex life anymore than I want them thinking about mine.
- On Valentine's Day, I decided to give Valentine goodies to all of our neighbors. It was quite unexpected and the response was so amazing. I loved the stories of how it cheered them up or reminded them that people care about them. There's something so cheerful about seeing an unexpected pretty package by your front door!
- I, too, had an unexpected Valentine in my mailbox thanks to my sweet, sweet friend Ashley. It just seems that the more love I pour out into the world, the more love I feel. Giving little happies are one of my most favorite things to do!
- My efforts to get heart healthier have paid off, according to the recent labs. I'm having a lot more fun getting creative in the kitchen. I made homemade granola bars that were so incredibly awesome this weekend!
- I do have a really spectacular job offer, but I'm in the same position as I was in the fall with another position, where they might not be able to hire me. Big prayers please that I can start this fabulous job next Monday (that's my tentative start date). I'm so excited by this opportunity and it has definitely given me a renowned sense of restoration.
- Restoration is my theme these days. I feel like God's doing some big restoration works in me.
- I am going to do a mission trip this year. I can't wait to see where God is calling me this time. I just feel a fire inside of me and my adventuresome spirit is tingling!
- I really, really want Sophie Kinsella's new book. I really hope this job comes through so I can increase my book budget!
So tell me how YOU are! Give me your good news and not so good news, prayer request and updates!
