Whew!! What a weekend!!

We have had one busy weekend. It all started on Friday! Leesha and I bundled up and went to see the St. Patty's Day parade. We had lots of fun and as she tells everyone "she gots lots of candy." Hey, that is all that counts. Her favorite part this year was the Sheriff's dept on their motorcycles. They always start off the parade. One deputy stands up on his motorcycle seat with his arms straight out from his sides. Leesha thought that was absolutely the best!! The parade was over an hour long and our hands were frozen by the time we got back to the car. Funny, two days earlier it was 60 degrees here. That is Indiana for you!

Saturday, we did lots of running around. I was trying to get to the bank before it closed at noon but Leesha wasn't moving fast enough. Well, we got to the bank at about 12:15 pm and there were cop cars and the crime lab there. They had been robbed sometime that morning. They said everyone was okay so that is good. YIKES!! umm...maybe there was a reason Leesha was slow poking around that morning. Maybe that was God's protection on us that day! I sort of feel bad for getting impatient with her now. After running around, we just had a good family afternoon and evening. Those are few and far between.

Today, church! We had our first visitors today. That was so awesome. God is supplying our needs in ways we would never expect. Today's sermon was on Keeping our passion for Christ and how to get it back if we have lost it!! Well, umm.....how fitting was this sermon today. I sooooo desperately needed it. I realized I had lost my passion.

Seven Passion Killers.....why have I lost my passion?

1. An unclear Purpose....Isa. 49:4
2. An Unused Talent...I Cor. 7:17
3. An Unbalanced Schedule...I Tim. 4:7
4. An Unconfessed Sin...Ps. 38:1-6, I John 1:9
5. An Unresolved Conflict...Job 5:2; Job 18:4
(ex. Jealousy, Resentment, Anger)
6. An Unsupported Lifestyle - loneliness - Ecc. 4:9-10
7. An Undernourished Spirit Col. 2:6-7

Well, let's just say that several of these hit me between the eyes. Thank the Lord for forgiveness. I have been quite lonely lately. I don't really have anyone here that I can talk to anymore. I feel like a 3rd wheel a lot of the time in things. Anyway, I am having a rough time with the major changes that have taken place in our life since October. We are moving on and I feel confident about that but sometimes I just get mad about it still. It still hurts and I still get angry. Time and God heal all things. Just waiting for that hurt to go away! I also really miss digging into my Bible with other ladies. I miss that. I miss church activities and things. We will have that back soon enough I am sure. I just need to be patient. *snicker* Anyone who knows me knows that isn't a strong point of my personality but I am learning.

So our prayer for our church is $1,000 in support by Easter and 100 people attending our Easter services. God is very capable!

Okay, I need to work on a schedule for Leesha and I so that we can become more balanced!!

Night!!
