Saturday Afternoon ...

Well it’s the afternoon after the H2O Community clean up day, part of my church’s Forty Days of Mercy venture. I was organizing the day and … PRAISE GOD … it came off very well.

When I woke up this morning I was a little concerned … it was single degree temperature and raining and the weather forecast called for heavy rain. This is easy “stay at home” weather … Well the rain held off for the most part and 61 people came out! (Considering the entire congregation is around 300 that’s not bad!)

Connor my DS and I stayed back and did childcare. There was only 2 kids – Jason & Joanne’s two youngest – Seth and Grace. Connor and Seth played together and had fun. Connor’s not doing well today. He got braces yesterday so his mouth hurts and he got home from the football game at 11:30 so he’s tired too … there were tears this morning.

Well I’m feeling pretty darn whipped … I think I might lie down for a nap. I’ve been running on adrenaline for the last while … Chicago, busy as a bee at work, the Haiti Race last weekend, getting started on the Spin for Kidz and H20 … I’m BEAT!!!

But first some thanks … Thank you LORD for making H2O Day a success! It is the first thing I’ve done at the church so I really wanted to do a good job. But most of all I wanted it to be YOUR success and YOUR day. And it was! Thank You for Your faith in me, Your help and most of all Your encouragement through all the people You surround me with!

You are AWESOME!
