Volunteering

This weekend I filled in doing the computer data inputting at our church’s food pantry which is one of the ‘branches’ in the city under 2^nd Harvest Food Bank.  It is always such a blessing to be able to volunteer there.  It has been a help to me in the past when my daughter was little.  We volunteered for many years and received help as needed.  Anytime a person can give back to help others is a wonderful endeavor.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Whew~what a busy weekend that was!  Very enjoyable times with my small group, daughter, church and volunteering.  I was gone from home most of the weekend and didn’t get any yard work done [this issue is hanging over my head].

My first Farm Chicks event!  What a great time we had~a huge thumbs up.  I think we may make this a Mother/Daughter yearly event.  A big ‘thank you’ to Serena for this wonderful yearly show of antiques and handmade items with lots of vendors.

Yes, I bought a ‘Newzgirl’ style cap while there.  Actually that was my goal~to add to my headcovering repertoire.  A shout out to www.oldmanspants.com ; they are a local, small business that is friendly and helpful.  I am eyeing a couple of other caps on their website.

The Daniel study I am doing on Thursday evenings is wrapping up at the end of June.  My small group has also disbanded for the summer.  I am on the search for some good books/series and a good bible study to tide me over for the summer ~~ I am sure the yard work will be calling my name as I try and plug my ears—LOL!

Blessings abound

Women of Faith ~ what an amazing event! If you have never been, please consider going. The speakers each had a specific topic they spoke to. Each one touched my heart in a special way.

Mandisa and Amy Grant were wonderful as well as the Women of Faith worship group. The ladies led us in spots of praise and worship throughout the entire two day event.

News update:

I have joined a women’s small group bible study on Saturday mornings. What a blessing these women are and I’ve only been going a couple of weeks :-)

Promiseland has started back up at church and I am working in the 2nd-4th grade room.

We are holding off any landscaping in the front yard so it will be dirt through the winter. However, we are going to be building our raised beds at the end of the month for our vegetable garden.

The Lord is mighty and I am glad!
