What happens when DH is out of town, you get 9 adult, middle-aged mature women together for a Friday night sleepover and Saturday craft day?
A little bit of this 
and a little bit of that
and a whole lotta fun, fellowship and food!
Wait until you see the finished projects!
Do you ever find yourself running in circles? trying to catch your tail? being busy for the sake of being busy?
We’ve just started a new study in our Ladies small group called “Resting in Him - I need to slow down but I can’t!”. It’s part of the Women of Faith study series. I am so ready for this topic. It may not be the deepest study but it’s one of those things that I for one need to be reminded of constantly.
The title alone whacked me upside the noggin’…I need to slow down but can’t! I find it hard to just relax and not be doing something or at the very least thinking of a gazillion things I should or could be doing.
To quote from the study book “as we maintain a busy lifestyle, either our nerves will get all wadded up into an explosive bundle or gradually legitimate emotions get shut down.” I was at the latter not so long ago. I wasn’t feeling what I should have been feeling about events, situations, etc. I just didn’t have the energy to put into the emotions.
I was at a breaking point where I knew things had to change. But what? Most of what is in my life is enjoyable and good stuff so how does one determine what has to go to lighten the proverbial load; especially when all this good stuff involves people, activities and ministries which I enjoy?
I’m still working on what is going to go but have definitely set more boundaries on what I’m letting into my life. It’s definitely a work in progress.
I think back to a Leadership class I was recently at where the questions posed were…
These questions have been my life filter lately. If it doesn’t fill me or give life then why am I doing it?
Can you relate to any of these questions?

DH called me outside late yesterday afternoon to see the rainbow. Not that a rainbow is such an unusual sight for us but it wasn’t raining nor had it rained all day.

Our sermon church this weekend was called “Amazed” and were asked when was the last time God amazed us. This rainbow really brought it home. A rainbow and no rain! Amazing!
When were you last amazed and totally blown away by God? Was it something in His world? Was it an experience or event? or one of those “God coincidences”?
