Late for Pastor's birthday

You'd think you could count on a

sister to tell you when her brother's

birthday is...especially when he's

the pastor!   But no.  Pam handed me

a note in church yesterday that said:

"FYI-Pastor's birthday is tomorrow".

Thanks.

So his card is going to be a little late!

Guess what?  The stitching site made a

pattern for the sign "Jesus"!  Isn't that cool?

The fingers don't exactly look like fingers

to me and I'm pretty  sure they used the

index finger instead of the middle finger

in the palm, but I will stitch it and you can

judge for yourself.  I just think it was so

cool that they did that for me!

Speaking of signing...I have songs next

Sunday.  One I know but have never

signed since it is new to our church.

Another I've never signed, it is also

new.  One I just plain don't know...

I need a lot of prayer this week!  And 

I will for sure be doing announcements-

or at least attempting to.  I think this

is the next step God wants me to take.

But I'm still kind of focused on the waves

rather than on Him, so that needs to change.

I'm hoping that this week will be a little

quieter and more relaxed than last week.

It was hard to believe that God was in

control of things last week when everything

felt so out of control, but I guess that's 

where faith and trust comes in.  He

got me through it, so that's what counts!

And He brought some blessings my 

way in the midst of all the chaos.

Thank you, Father.

Happy Anniversary to my son Cody,
and his awesome wife, Pam!  Have
a wonderful day!

Happy Monday!
