A fun-filled, busy week

Life has been a little busy since my last entry, but a good busy.
I had the opportunity to take out a girl out from our church, Brandi for dinner as a birthday treat. We ate at O'Charley's and had a great time. Her Mom says she wishes she had a sister so I told her I would love to play the part of her big sister:) I have been reading "A Woman's High Calling" and let me tell you, I have been blessed. It is really good. But it is based off the passage of Titus 2 where it talks about what the older women should be teaching the younger woman. Even though I am not older, but rather younger then most of the women in my church, I am still older to some such as the teenagers and children. So I began praying the Lord would use me to impact those younger than me in some way. I felt blessed to have a dinner with an awesome teenager and thankful the Lord had already given me an opportunity to minister to someone younger than I. Although, I was not very graceful that evening and kept messing things up. Gr! For example, I had lifted my hand up for something, and as I was talking, not paying attention my elbow hit the tip of the bowl. It almost went everywhere and made a really loud noise. I am such a klutz!
Our friends Josh and Mary had their new precious baby. Brian and I were able to visit him in the hospital and I have also stopped by a couple times with food for them. He is definitely a cutie:) We were thinking we might like one someday but after seeing Mary in pain I am thinking I might prefer to adopt instead. Ha!
Brian and I looked at a house last week as well. We fell in love with it. We are really debating to go forward or not for several reasons, which is too much to go into right now. It is a huge decision and the thought of it terrifies me. I just don't want to be struggling to make a mortgage payment a year or two from now. I will keep you updated.
Friday night I scrap booked with my mother-n-law and a group of ladies. I was able to finish 10 pages and felt very accomplished when I left. I love scrapping. It is such a love and passion in my life.
On Saturday night Brian and I had dinner with his cousins Kelly and Nick and their little boy, Luke. He was SUCH cutie:) I really liked him. It has been a while since we have seen them so we had a good time together.
I received good news last week. My friend Julie that I previously wrote a blog about called me and said she is coming to the ladies retreat next week. I am soooo excited! I am happy to get to see her, touched that she wants to hear me speak, and so excited that she is getting away to get refreshed. I am just really looking forward to it!
I thought church was so good last night. We had a singsparation. I am so touched by music and began to cry as some of the songs were sang. I am so thankful to be saved.
This entry is not very juicy but I wanted to keep those of you who are reading updated on what's going on in my world:)
