Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

August 1, 2010.

Can it really be August already? The summer is almost over. I am someone who does not like very hot weather, so I do welcome the coming of Autumn. Autumn is my favorite season with October my favorite month. I look forward to it every year.

But, it has been a busy summer! And I cannot believe I have kept this blog going since the end of April.

The next Emmaus walks are coming up in October and I have been asked to help on the music committee. I am very much looking forward to this!!! October is going to be a busy month. There is the women's Emmaus walk, the men's Emmaus walk which Chris is attending. Then, the first weekend of the month I will be attending a women's retreat with a long-time friend from high school. Not to mention the preparation for the walks themselves. I hope the retreat I'm attending won't interfere with any of the Emmaus preparations. I didn't even think about the fact that weekend is so close to the walks. It's going to be a busy, busy month.

Our minister this morning preached on taking our given talents and using them to spread the word of God. I have tried doing this, though it is not always easy. We gave our God-daughter her first Bible this past weekend. It was a cute Bible geared towards little girls who are her age. She did seem to like it and I do hope she reads it. Her parents do not attend church regularly...perhaps this might spur them to do so. Whether it does or does not...I at least feel I have planted a small seed in this young girl.

Ok...more later....just some rambling thoughts I wanted to post for today.
