My interview yesterday went well. I was a little nervous the entire day.
I was fixing my hair and grabbed the "scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner" instead. I then panicked and worried that there was bleach in the bottle. What if my hair suddenly begins to turn odd colors and I have to cancel my interview. What would I say as a reason. Fortunately my hair remained one color!!!

Misc.
So much has happened since the last time I posted...so here it goes.
1) I have the WORLD'S BEST PARENTS!!
I come from a very giving family. My parents have always modeled to us the importance of giving back and helping others. I could tell you numerous stories of how my mom has given money, clothing, etc to people in need. I went home this weekend for a short visit and came home with a new car. That's right...my parents bought me a new van. I love it. It is a 2006 Town and country. It has everything that I have ever wanted and could never afford. It tells me the time, the temperature, the radio station and what artist is singing. It has stow and go and much much more. I hope I can be the kind of parent to my children that helps them out even as adults. THANKS!!!! WE LOVE THE VAN!!!
2) I have an interview this tuesday for a wonderful ministry opportunity.
I am really seeking God's will in this matter.
3) It has been another great week of teaching. I had one little scare at the middle school. When I arrived I found a whole stack of letters that the students had written. They were apology letters to the substitute they had earlier in the week. I was kind of nervous waiting for this class to arrive. They behaved for me!!!
4) This week I was reading an article on prayer. It posed the questions "How do you pray for someone who do not know?" The author suggested that you put yourself in their situation and pray as if you are going through what they are going through. My mom has a friend that is at the Cleveland Clinic. I have never met her...but as I pray for her...I am going to try this.

Great Weekend
WOW!!!
I am still recovering from a wonderful weekend. I had the honor of being the speaker at Riverwood Women's Retreat. It is fun to attend different retreats and see how each one is unique and special.
I was given a wonderful room to myself that included a plush robe to wear as I relaxed. The wonderful committee created a gift basket that only compared to the ones that celebrities receive at the Oscars. It contained many snacks, drinks, jewelrey, and many many wonderful Longaberger items. I felt so special.
We had a wonderul weekdend sharing stories of God's faithfulness. You come to a retreat as a stranger and leave with many new friends. I loved working with the women on the committee. They were genuine and authentic. If I ever look for a new church...I would stop at Riverwood first.
I began a women's care group at my home this past monday. We have 10 women who will attend, but the weather kept many away. Two women came and we decided that we would hold off on the lesson. We decided to just chat for a few moments and pray. Two hours later...we were done.
I want to share with you my next adventure. My friend Sandi and I are always looking for a new adventure and here it is.
We are going to spend the next year interviewing 10 women that we admire in our church. We are going to ask each on of them the same questions:
1) what has made your marriage successful
2) what is the best parenting advice you can give
3) how do you keep your walk with Christ intimate
4) what is the best advice that you would offer women today
There will be many more questions. Here is the criteria for the women that we choose.
1) They must be past the stage of raising children.
2) They must exemplify Christlike qualities in their parenting and marriage(past or present)
We are praying abou the names of the women. I will be compiling the interviews and I am not sure how we will use this. We may keep this for ourselves or make it available to women who are interested.
I am so excited about this. The idea came to me this Sunday as I sat beside a women and she shared with us that she just celebrated her 50th wedding anniversary. She has a wonderful sense of humor and a love for the Lord. I thought to myself "I want to talk to her."
Pray for us.
