Farm, Retreat, and School

First its 85 I know others have blogged about it but really, 85 I want to wear a sweater!! NOW!! Okay I just watched Fred on Crissy blog so I had to whiny. So last week was busy Paige and I went up to school and made a pumpkin arch for Eric's class room. Then study, study, study I am about half-way through this semester and can't wait to be done. I am still maintaining my A average but I had a big lab test Monday and I think I did okay but it was hard.

Friday I went on a field trip with Eric to Old Baker's Farm, seen one pumpkin patch you've seen them all. But it was fun and well done and I got a pumpkin and Eric did too.

Also the ladies retreat was this weekend and we had a great time. It was about beginning a help-mate to your husband. It was also about our role in church and I needed to hear it. I think sometimes I forget that I needed to learn how to be apart of the body. So what I learned this weekend is that I am a pretty good help-mate and of course can always improve. But I think I am somewhat at a lost as to what my role at church is. So I am going to pray with intention and ask God to show me. Which is scary because I know He will answer me and what if I don't know how to do what He ask me.

I always battle with myself over my role in church. I feel like I'm constantly beating my head into a wall. It shouldn't be that way. But it's one of my biggest pitfalls. Glad the retreat was a hoot.

Uh, you're a hard worker who does well teaching and guiding children. Duh. You encourage others and go out of your way to make others feel welcome. You always take more than your fair share of the workload because you can. You are essential.
It's not just me who knows it, either. I love you, friend.

Or worse...what if you don't WANT to do what He shows you?
Stop praying!!!
See, this is why I am not Presbyterian.

I am kidding of course. I am not Presbyterian because you people don't know how to host a covered dish ;)
