A Good Thursday

Thursday, September 6, 2012~

   Feeling better today. The day started rough, I won't lie, but after Julian got over his snit this morning, things vastly improved. My Thursday morning group at church started up again. I'm part of a "guinea pig" group this time around. We're doing Warren Wiersbe's study on the book of John and that's not unusual. The part that's different is that it's a small group that requires each member to set a weekly personal goal and a goal that requires us to go above and beyond our usual habits. We're also committing to monthly service projects for our community. There's a high level of accountability within the group. I've mentioned before that I'm pretty burnt out on long book studies so this is a great fit for where I am and where my heart has always been.
   I left as soon as we'd finished so I could get up to Tampa. I do love seeing my former co-workers at Family First. It's been 4 years since I worked there and I still think about them and the programs all the time. I don't know when I'll go back to work full time, but it's a little dream of mine to be able to work there again. Anyway, I had lunch with my dear friend Amy. We had such encouraging conversation. It really made my week!
   Tomorrow I've got a fun morning and afternoon planned with another good friend. We're headed to St. Pete. I think Jason is craving Delco's so we may end up there too. What a good way to finish this week of ups and downs! 

Getting a better feel for the new camera. I'm excited to have a lot to list on eBay this weekend!



Project 3

August 30, 2012~

   Went to Project 3 today. It's put on by Feeding Children Everywhere and a really good cause. It was fun to do too. I'll definitely keep a look out for their future events!

Everyone gets a hairnet

Even little people can help

The meal we packed is made of rice, lentils, Himalayan sea salt and a dehydrated veg mix

Snapple provided free drinks for all the volunteers

Serving

   Without a doubt my favorite place to volunteer is the Bay Area Pregnancy Center. I use to be very political in my opinions on abortion. I guess I still am, but I'm far less outspoken than I use to be. I think our best case is made with with science and logic, not browbeating. I use my vote to support the cause. I support this Center with my volunteer hours because they are on the true front lines of this issue. They give women reasons and options not to have abortions. They council and love the ones who made that choice and are scarred and hurting from it. They give women training and parenting classes. They give necessities to struggling moms. That's where the rubber meets the road.
