Latest and Greatest

So here’s the deal.  I’m going to  be an aunt again!  So, my mom, an aunt and I are planning on heading west to BC on Thursday.  The little one hasn’t joined us yet but we’re hoping soon…definitely before we start back on the 26th!  The big brother, Theo, is doing great.  Just over two, he’s counting to 20 in English, 10 in Spanish and has his ABCs down pat.  I’ve missed him and am looking forward to hanging out with him a bit. 

 

Otherwise, heading into spring which means camp prep and Apples of Gold.  Apples of Gold is a girls mentoring program that runs for six weeks.  My job is to lead the sessions, which are going to cover topics like relationship with God, friendships and purity.  I’ll try to have a series going here on the topics we’ll be talking about from week to week.  (Although….my other series only has one post!)

 

This spring is also bringing a few events that I’ll be part of planning.  Not sure what all they will include but at least one concert in the area.  I enjoy event planning for the most part so I’m looking forward to it. 

 

I’m also reading quite a bit.  I’m just about finished Oswald Chambers: Abandoned to God, the biography of the author of My Utmost for His Highest, a classic devotional.  I find here not only a spiritual hero but a friend.  Although incredibly talented and passionate, Oswald went through a period of intense internal struggle, knowing that he was not the man so many people believed him to be.  It’s not that there is some blatant act of hypocrisy.  He just wasn’t that good.  I can so relate to that.  Throughout this book it has been an alternation between being understood and being challenged.  A timely read.

 

That’s all folks!
