Hmm, well here I am.

Up and at 'em soldiers! Hurray for girl time at Bible study!! Angie's 30th birthday is tomorrow so we had a "party" for her at Bible study. We each brought her 30 things, 30 marshmallows, 30 starbursts, 30 beads (bracelet from Brenna), 30 lives (pieces of Life cereal), and 30 address labels:) I made her a cake yesterday too and decorated it like a flower. It was fun. Our discussions were very good and quite profitable. I'm enjoying more and more the time I have with these ladies. So sad, next week is our last week:( Clubs were a bit harder today. We had a disruptor who I think bothered me more than anyone. Not really in a patient mood, arg:S We finished strong though and they all had a good time. Tonight I've been feeling down. Some women when they feel down turn to a pint of rocky road, chocolate chunk ice cream...I often turn to my hair. No, no I don't eat my hair. I try to change it, like if I look cuter I'll be more desirable or better. Today I dec

I laugh at myself a bit and at what must be God's sense of humor. You see, this week I'm helping Amelia do two 5-Day clubs in Broken Bow. I did no planning for these events and yet they went off smashingly well. It is so strange. I know Amelia prepared for a whole summer;) and she does such a great job. What a nice day. Brenna finished up her sewing projects to be entered for the county fair. She did a pillow, a needlebook and a decorated purse. I'm proud to say she did the work herself, with minimal guidance. Some of it looks as if an 8 year old did it, but hey she did! Alissa

I'm back. Whew, it is so good to be home!!! What did I learn this past weekend? Well, for one thing...FLEXIBILITY! I thought I'd learned enough of that in gymnastics, but apparently God wants me to learn some more of the other kind:) Satan is so clued in, and he attacks the moment we are down or feel self doubt or doubt in God's ability in us rather. I may have appeared fine at Merritt, but the tornadoes twisting in my head were another thing. I kept trying to jerk myself back to reality and what Christ says I am in Him. The only thing that calmed me was to sit in my scorching hot car and read my Bible, God's Word to me. Praise the Lord! I came home for lunch today, not even caring that it was being non-saving for gas. I just needed to go home and relax a bit. We were really quite busy at the old Backbone-aroo. Glad to see it and hope it continues. Pray for Connie, family stuff. Tonight I came home, washed some dishes and then I...sat around reading my book some more. N
