Autumn Updates
Wow, I hadn’t realized just how many weeks I have missed – so sorry!
Given the late MIA-ness, I thought I should do a short update post to help explain myself. Well, here goes!
First off, I have some fabulous news – Falcon Ridge is moving! Yay! While I love being in the LIttle White Church, it really is a smaller space than we need (expecially for the kids!) and we have been blessed to find a bigger space to move into for roughly the same cost (Praise God!). Starting on December 6 we will be meeting in the Old Arlington High School building (downtown on French street, where Highland Christian School currently meets). We had our first rehearsal there last night and while there will definitely be some bugs to work out, I’m really excited to have the space!
With the upcoming move, well, life has been a bit more hectic. Last week was crazy – I has at least 2 appointments/meetings every day, sometimes 3-4 in 1 day. Yeah, I know, that is nothing for some of you but when you are not used to it, well, it seems like a lot! On top of that Eric was in Europe last week as well. That meant finding places for the girls to go while I was at some of the evening meetings. Such fun…
That brings me to another reason… Eric has been travelling a bit more, and we haven’t known his schedule until sometimes the day before he leaves. Seriously. It’s been insane! The trip to Europe was scheduled, cancelled, and re-scheduled about 5 times each, with the final “you’re going” coming down 2-3 days before he left. He left last Monday and came home last Saturday if that gives you an indication of how quick the trip was. He thinks he got about 6 hours of sleep the whole week between jet lag, working on stuff for here and thinking about things he was working on. Oy!
Then there is the typical “tis the season” stuff – you know, cold & flu season! The girls have had a few days home from school – thankfully not as many as last year though! In fact, 1 is home with me today too. She woke up with a sore throat and an occasional cough. Not terribly sick, but enough that with the current “flu craze” she would have just been sent home. I suspect she may simply be recovering from being up past bedtime too many nights in a row. At least I hope so!
Finally it seems that I have once again become a girl who can’t say no… to ministry opportunities. We started a Women’s home group in October, and have been meeting during the day for a few weeks now. It’s really nice to be involved in a Women’s group again! As much as I love attending a home group with Eric, there is something different about meeting with just women. It was one of those occasions when God puts something on your heart – and then you argue with him for a month or so that you just don’t have time. You’d think I’d learn that life is just easier when you don’t try to argue with God, after all, He will win!
So, I have become the home group leader for that group (and incedentally the fill-in leader for our couples group too, since I have the book anyway…)
Yep, life has gotten a bit more hectic!
So that’s been my life in a nutshell for the past month or so! Yep, there are days that I just feel tired… but I will try to do a better job of posting more regularly.
