Three things every weekend should contain, in my opinion. Today was fully successful, based on the previously mentioned standards.
We had a great church service today. My mom, Brady and I lead singing for the service that was based around missions. We heard updates from our overseas missionaries, as well as from those who are more local. We also officially commissioned Cody as our new associate pastor, which was exciting. I think our entire church is really excited to have him in the position!
From the service, we went downstairs for food. It was something of a belated Thanksgiving meal I suppose, with all the fixings. WE ate very well. Dekker ate tons of turkey, potatoes, and stuffing, all covered in gravy. I love that he can eat more easily from the table now. Such a relief that at least a good chunk of that challenge is over. I’m sure there are more to come. That’s what I hear anyway.
And craft. I have crocheted like a mad man today!!! Anyone else have that bug? I feel like crocheting projects are really pulling me out of the ugly place I was headed. I mean, to God be the glory, don’t get me wrong! But I feel accomplished and proud of what I make, which makes me feel like I’m doing something good. It is nice to feel like you’re good at something, right? Plus, having an outside project to focus on is perfect.
The same way as the crocheting, I feel like this blog helps as well. For some reason, I was silly enough to use the word “daily” in the title. It was an accidental commitment that I made to write something everyday. And a side commitment to myself to not just rant and be negative. It has been such a positive experience for me! There are times when I wonder what will happen on that fateful day when I forget, and finally miss a post. Just that thought alone makes me anxious. But life will go on, and I’ll post twice the next day. Everyone will forgive me, I think. Right guys?
Well, as per usual, I’m off to my bubble bath. And Degrassi. Or Breaking Amish. I’m not sure yet. And maybe leftover pizza. Sleep well!
