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!

God is Good & Chicago Pics!
Praise & Thanks!
First the praise and thanks! Last week I mentioned my anxieties about the sign up for H2O (my church's community clean up event) and said I leaving it in the the LORD's hands ... well God is GOOD! My anxieties about H2O have been laid to rest definitively!
On Friday I spoke to the Church Admin about the event and the low sign up and we were talking about cancelling. In the middle of our conversation I spoke to Jason and he said that we couldn't cancel as it was a big part of our Forty Days of Mercy and suggested sending out an email to get sign up ... and while I spoke to Bryan he sent it out ... and the response started coming in! There's now approx 50 people signed up for it! Thank you Jason and praise GOD!
Chicago Pics!
I got my pictures
back that I took in Chicago. I'll post a few here.
This is me at the finish ... after 5:42 I still look pretty fresh!
