Hello all,
I was overwhelmed by the response! Thanks so much for all your comments, you know how much I appreciate it. My saturday has been so relaxing. I got up at eight and washed my bed sheets, did some laundry, cleaned my apartment and got everything straitened out for another week. It wasnt anything too interesting but it kept me busy. I was supposed to go skiing with Matt today but on Thursday as I was moaning and groaning about the ginormas cookies that I had to make for Valentine's Day Renata nicely reminded me that it wasn't a very good serving attitude for Jesus.
Our lesson was all about pride and how as followers of Jesus we need to be humble and have a serving attitude for Jesus in our daily lives. It really kinda hit home when Renata said that to me. It is so easy to preach it in GEMS, but as soon as you feel like you might have a good reason to not have a serving attitude you convince yourself that your pride is justified. Then it just goes on in that silly ol circle. So after Renata and I talked about that she kindly offered to come and make cookies with me. Steph also thought it would be fun. We made chocolate chip pancakes for lunch, ate chocolate chip coookies and made 40 large cookies. Then we all settled down on the couch and watched "A Good Year" It was fun and it made my saturday a lot less lonely.
Tonight I am going to babysit one of the kids from daycare. So that should be a lot of fun and hopefully Matt will make it home for supper. I think I am going to make pork chops, Potatoes and peas and carrots.
Other than that things here are going well. I had a really great week and I was even able to squeeze in some quality cranium time at quiet time at daycare. hhehe.. We are pretty competitive and have a lot of fun.
Anyway. I wont be back till wednesday probably because I have a workshop to go to on Monday and Tuesday night. Love you all and keep those comments coming.
Love Amanda!
