One BUSY week!

So, here I sit, killing time before I go pick up Jay to go to Sbarro and Tilt. I'm really looking forward to it as this has been a really busy week. Not bad at all, just incredibly busy. And, I have found this week that I am better off busy than bored. While I'm exhausted right now, it really has been fun. I haven't been home one evening this week, which has been really good for me. I've gotten out and met new people, and have hung out with old friends as well, which has been a gift from God.

On Monday night I went to a meeting for church. It pretty much turned into a night of fellowship, which was a lot of fun. And Karen rode back into town with me which was a gift. I'm SO incredibly thankful that God has placed Karen in my life. She's pretty much taken on a mentoring role with me, which has been exactly what I needed. So, Monday was fun.

Tuesday night I joined the singles group here in town. I was stretched out of my comfort zone and went to a meeting where I didn't know anyone. There was a Bible Study, which was good, and just some time to get to know people. It's a bigger group than I expected, which was fun. It was good just to meet some new people.

On Wednesday night I tried a new homegroup. The one I had been attending the past 2.5 years ended, so I was on a quest to find a new one. I had been told by Karen that none of our homegroups go very deep spiritually, so not to expect much. However, this group went DEEP. They're reading a book called Next Level Living which I plan to pick up this weekend. It was a really nice time. I think I want to join that group. It has some wonderful people in there and the fact they go deep excites me more than you know. The group I was in before was not going anywhere spiritually so I am excited in a way I haven't felt in YEARS.

On Thursday Night I went and visited a friend in the hospital. GigglyGal and I took a couple games and we passed the time playing games. It was really fun. Well, as fun as it can be playing games in a hospital. I'm ready for her to be well and at home instead, but it was fun anyway.

After that I went to a surprise party for Laura. It is her birthday tomorrow, and she seemed genuinely surprised by everything. I was out later than I expected, but it was really fun and I was glad I went.

So, now it's Friday. I'm going to another singles group tonight, as a friend of mine stated that it's better than the one I tried Tuesday Night. I'm a bit nervous, but I was nervous Tuesday and it went okay.

I find it almost odd that it's hard for Christians to find each other. Or at least that's been my experience. There aren't any single guys in my church that I'm attracted to and I'm not a gal who would spend time in a bar. And there's noone in any of my activities that is single, so it's been quite a drought. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect to go tonight and meet the man of my dreams. I just think it's time for me to put myself in situations where there are single people. Otherwise, how can this season of waiting end?

So, anyway, that's sort of a recap of my week. I hope you had a terrific week. And I hope you have a terrific weekend.

As for me, I have about 6 hours of taped TV shows to watch and a few books to read. I won't be bored.

Later!
