Waiting...

Waiting for the phone call to cancel school. It probably won't come until tomorrow morning. We are supposed to get a nice wintry mix of snow/sleet/freezing rain/ice starting somtime around 1:00 AM. Meanwhile, I'm catching up on some reading here online, and posting - of course.

Tonight was our ladies' Bible study. We go to Books a Million and invade their coffee shop for an hour (or hour and a half.) We are doing a study on "Becoming a Vessel God can Use." Tonight we did the week one study and the thing that struck me most was "not doing great things for God" but letting God use you to do great things. The first way we are using our own vision and strength to accomplish what WE THINK God wants us to do. The second way, we are open to HIS leading and limited by nothing - with His power behind us.

Ephesians 3:20, 21
"Now to Him Who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to HIS POWER that is at work IN US, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen!"

I really am enjoying our discussions!

On a fun note, I bought some eyelash yarn and made a little scarf for my coworker's little girl. I really should have taken a picture of it. It was lilac and very pretty. She came over to show it to me before they left for home. She gave me some of her colored school pictures to thank me. So cute!

Well, that should keep you satisfied until tomorrow.

Later!

Snow Day, Snow Day, Time to Clean the House Day!

Hi, everyone!

I was really looking forward to this snow day! It may sound crazy, but my house has been a mess for quite a while. So now I have an opportunity to clean, and I'm taking it. The boys are even helping (somewhat reluctantly.) But I have promised them breaks and right now we're on one.

I will post my success at the end of the day. I am looking forward to getting into my closet again and seeing the yarns I have. One young man from church who is in the service just requested a crocheted cap, so I need to get on that!

Yeah!!!!! Snow!!!!!

Well, we finally got some snow here! It was enough to make driving home from church a little scary - but not too bad. No church tonight, so we all just hung out at home and watched the football game on TV.

The call came about 9:00 to cancel school tomorrow! Yeah! Now I can clean! Yeah - I think!

But see, I think I got that ticket yesterday for a reason - God was arranging things so we wouldn't take that thing to church in West Virginia and end up in an accident. Who knows? I just know He takes good care of us!

Good sermon at church today - I'll post some notes later.

I wonder why I think I can write in fragments in this blog. Oh well.
