This is a great small group starter that my friend Kevin told me about. Everyone shares their high points and low points of the week. I thought I'd use that format for this post.
High Point: I've finished our Federal taxes and created a budget for where that money is going.
Low Point: Our tax return is going toward debt and an emergency fund. No fun money in there. Okay, enough fun money for a few clothing items and a date.
High Point: I was able to spend an entire Saturday with my family. This rarely happens and it was so good.
Low Point: One of my former sunshine students called and was suicidal. She is in pine rest currently. I got to visit her over the weekend, but she's really struggling.
High Point: I went to GEMS last Wednesday and made a pot holder. It's cool. It was fun to use a sewing machine again. We are supposed to bring 2 small gifts for our cooks on the Domincan Republic trip. I'm going to try to make another one of these to bring down.
Low Point: A couple of other friends are really struggling right now. I feel pulled in so many directions this week with my time and who I spend it with. I want to be the one to rescue people much of the time and it's hard to not always be able to do that.
High Point: I got to meet up for lunch with several former co-workers from Sunshine. It was encouraging to hear how God is working in everyone's lives and ministries.
Low Point: Isaac fell at Broomball & cut his lip, which bled all over. He's doing better now, but it's always a bit scary when your child is injured.
High Point: I finally figured out for sure that I'm going to Chicago this weekend to stay with my friend Melissa who had baby Ella about a month ago. Friday I get to meet up with my cousin, Aunt & Uncle and Grandma. None of them have met Isaac yet. Then I'm heading to dinner with several of my college friends who I haven't seen in over a year. Then off to Melissa's. It'll be strange to leave Marc at home, but I'm looking forward to time away.
High Point: It was a great night at Breakaway on Sunday night. We're studying the 10 Commandments this semester and memorizing scripture as we go. It's been a great semester so far!
High Point: I think everyone in our household is healthy again!
High Point: I was thinking on Sunday morning how blessed I am to live in this amazing house. I love living right next to church/work and love having the space to have people live with us. I think one of the gifts God is developing in me is hospitality. Having this space is giving me more opportunity. If only a HGTV show would come makeover our living room. I did post pictures on rate my space hoping we get a horrible rating and they'll take pity on us and come rescue this room!
Anyone else feel like sharing? What were some of your highs and lows for the last week?
