Ok, the Lord is really trying to tell me something...first I get a call from my daughter's nursery school, asking if I'd be an outreach mom for her class. It's a Christian nursery school, but many of the students are unchurched.  The school is a ministry of this particular church.  As an outreach mom, it is my responsibility to take half of the class's parents and try to get a feel for them and reach out to them.

Today, I got a letter from my own church, asking me to consider being a mentor to a senior high girl in our congregation who listed me as someone she would like to mentor her.  I'm honored, baffled and scared!  Who would want to look up to ME?!  Well, apparently someone does.  I can't say no.  The Lord wants me to do this, I have no doubt about that.

My daughter started Awana club last night.  It's much more intense than I thought it would be.  Honestly, I don't know WHAT I was expecting it to be.  I think she will enjoy it.  I invited my neighbor's son to come along next week.  He needs some sort of structure if he's going to be starting Kindergarten next fall.  Plus they're unchurched and I'd love to see them come to the Lord even if it's through their four year old!

My father in law is home after having a stent inserted in his heart yesterday.  It was a very tough procedure, but he came through it and was able to come home this afternoon. I just pray he follows doctor's orders and behaves himself!

Why is it that the harder I pray for something, the harder Satan attacks?  If he would just leave me alone, I could continue my walk and be happy!!  Yeah, I know:  Wishful thinking.

At church this morning, it was just my daughter and I.  My husband stayed home with our son who woke up with a runny nose and the sneezers.  He has what my husband and I are just getting over.  Two of the women in my small group have this attitude with me.  When we meet, they're so nice, but at church they don't even glance at me.  I am so confused!  I want to address it with them, but I'm not quite sure how to bring it up.  The Lord will open the door if he wants me to address it.  Tact is something I'm learning through the grace of God.  I usually speak before thinking, so he's got my tongue on this one.  I do have a problem with self esteem, but that's my demon.  My SELF.  It's not about ME.

I'm watching the Eagles game against the 49ers.  Go Eagles!  Even when they play badly, I'm rooting for them!

Ugh, I feel like I'm coming down with something. I hope it's just allergies and nothing contagious. One of my coworkers has viral meningitis and is out for the week. It's not the really bad kind of meningitis (bacterial), but he could have left little germs laying around the office and one of us could pick them up.  My throat is sore and my head feels woozy.

The Lord has me working overtime with my friend whose life is a mess. If it were up to me, I'd drop her in a second. She drives me nuts with her constant drama.  But God keeps convicting me about her and keeps urging me to tell her The Truth.  So I've been and she's listening for the time being.  Part of me knows it won't last, but that's why I have to thank God for her answering his call before she even does it.  That way, it will happen. It's all about faith, which is what I'm learning in the study I'm doing with our ladies' group at church.

I have a homeowners association meeting after work.  I really pray that everyone stays calm and levelheaded.  There have been some problems in the neighborhood and I have a feeling things are going to be a little loud tonight.  I'm taking a short break at work, so I'll get back to it.

Nothing too much to report here, which is a good thing!  It always seems like there's some sort of drama going on, so nothing is a wonderful thing.  My husband is outside playing with our 5 year old daughter.  I'm in the basement with our 2 year old son.  He loves running from room to room down here, singing.  I love it when everyone is happy!  Makes me happy!

There was a "day in the park" sponsored by area churches in Souderton today.  We went to that with the kids.  My daughter loved the moonbounces.  My son wasn't too interested because of all of the activity.  However, they had a caterpillar tunnel-type thing where the kids would go in the mouth and come out of the butt.  It was disturbing to see my kids come out of a caterpillar's hiney.

Anyway, tomorrow is church and then we'll do some stuff around the house.  Another day of nothing - LORD WILLING!

My father in law is coming home from the hospital today.  It was suspected that the blockages in the arteries of his heart were worse, but it turns out he had an inflammation of the membrane around the heart, called pericarditis.  My mother in law has been so at peace the whole time he was in the hospital, but now that he's coming home, she's kind of in a tizzy. I called her and reminded her of what it says in Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  I know that's a popular one, but it's the only one that came to my mind.

I started my new schedule at work today.  I hope my kids can adjust better than they did this morning, having to get up at 6:45.  They usually sleep until 7:30 or later when I'm home.  I'll work two days at the office and a few hours throughout the week at home.  I'm lucky I have a flexible employer!
