Just Being Home

It has been a long and full day - a very good day - but very full as well - and having spent the last couple of nights out of town - it was nice to relax on the couch with little Miss Sadie and enjoy just being home.

We had another Walk to Emmaus team meeting up in Ventura today - and I gave my practice talk on Discipleship - it went really well - even as nervous as I was and as tough as it was to write it - I got great feedback and once I pray about and make a couple of tweaks - it should be good to go. It is such a treat to be involved with Emmaus again - especially with the wonderful group of ladies from the Channel Islands Community - it truly is a blessing and worth every moment of the drive to go up there and be a part of that amazing fellowship of sisters in Christ!

In my talk, I mention that hope is my word... and someone asked me about why - for me - it's a joyful word and indicates such positive anticipation. In times when life just isn't going right - there is always hope that it will get better - I guess part of it has to do with my outlook on life - glass half full rather than half empty - which isn't always easy for me - but God sure does help!

Anywho - I need to mull that over some more - I still have an entry brewing about Hope... as for now - the Bells will be playing early service tomorrow - call time 7:15am - I know it's not THAT late - but I'm tired and am going to bed! Blessings!
