AWOL

Like many of you, I've been BIZ-E since the beginning of the year. When I started blogging last July things were in a lull, but no more!    I do admin and event planning for one of the ministry departments of my church, and we've started the year off with a busy Calendar of Events.

 

Hubby and I did have a chance to run down to "the river" for a few days.

We out ran a storm on the way down

 And found beautiful, crisp weather when we arrived

Mr. D worked on the cabin for a couple of days

And then we had a fun day of adventure

 

 

 

 

I created a junque garden from old bottles and bed springs we found

And enjoyed the sunrises

and sunsets

Back in town, I'm continuing to work with a non-profit 

collecting donated furniture and household goods,

  and storing them until they're needed by someone

moving off the streets into their own apartment.

  

 The apartments and utilities are paid for

by local agencies for several months,

until the homeless person gets on their feet.

  It's a great program.

And I'm endeavoring to keep my new year's commitment

• Watch what you eat
• Exercise
•   Pray every day    

Some days are more successful than others.

I've added a challenge to that - taken from a letter I received last year:

  "Focus your prayer life, your bible study, and your giving

toward the determined goal

of breaking loose from what has governed you in the past, 

and take a fresh hold on the power of God's grace and righteousness."

I'm still trying to find a rhythm to working, volunteering,

leading a life group, keeping a couple of consignment spaces filled

and most importantly taking care of Mr. D.'s

bookkeeping and filing (ughh) .

 

Although it feels like things are starting to level off

 I'm still working it out.

Blessings,  Susy
