We had our Care Group at the Stout

It’s coming up… and I feel bad because I’ve volunteered to play piano with the worship team on Sunday. So that kinda leaves Brian high and dry on his first Father’s Day. LAME. Good thing Brian’s parents will be in town so the boys can go and play golf and Grandma can be with Chance since most of my days is wiped.

It was nice playing with the adult band yesterday though. They were pretty well prepared for not being a band that played together consistently. It’s just nice to NOT be in charge after having to be that for so many years. It’s refreshing to just PLAY.

Yesterday, I attended my last staff luncheon at the church because they wanted to honor me and my time served there the last three years. I hate that stuff. It’s so awkward because I’d just rather not be in those situations. Don’t get me wrong… I love being in the limelight and being the center of attention, after all, it’s the very core of who I am… but I don’t really like being placed in those situations when it feels somewhat forced on you. I usually find them cheesy. I guess that’s why it was a surprise to me when I got all choked up at the end.

People said some really nice things to me. My friend, Kurt Brandemihl, compared me to asparagus (I guess I’m an acquired taste), and Dave Scriven called me “fierce”. Though these two gave me the strangest titles, they also gave me the biggest compliments. Kurt said I was a great leader in how I duplicated what I did into students by training them up to my level, and Dave said I was “fierce” in a way that people needed to watch out if they were trying to steer me away from what God had clearly called me to do.

I choked up at the end (and I’m kinda choking up now) because I realized how much I really loved that position at the church. There is no question in my mind that God called me to Sunset. Though I am certain there is much more work required in me, I believe that I have become more of what God has always intended for me in this time. Sometimes its difficult in my day-to-day life now as a stay-at-home Mom because, though in the long run, I know I

So… we’ve decided to go with typepad because Matt Singley said to.  We do everything Matt Singley says to do.

Originally, we were blogging on myspace but we got sick of all the inappropriate advertisement.  We also used to blog on livejournal, but it’s just a weird template… so here we are.  Now our family can check this out without being a member.

Anyhoo… here we are.
