Another busy weekend

I’m packing and cleaning and writing and juggling!
My SIL graduates this weekend with his Masters in Social Work Counseling at the University of Arkansas. He starts a new job in June working at an organization that counsels at-risk youth with mental health needs. He’s great at it and loves it. He can’t talk about individual cases, of course, but when he talks about his job it’s evident it’s a good fit for both him and the youth.

From there I’ll make a break for Branson U.S.A. It’s a beautiful area and I’ll take a day to meet with our pastor and others to pray and talk about the vision for the church and community for the next several months.
I’ll be honest. This is packed right in the heart of several other projects/events and I wasn’t sure if I should add it to the calendar. But as it approaches I’m asking God to help me be an encouragement and support to my home church staff, people and pastor. They work so hard and have such a heart for ministry. I’m excited to be a part of a church that really cares about its people and community.
After that I’ll dash home in time to visit with some great women on a call-in conference call. Women ministry leaders from all over the nation will tune in and we’ll talk about Pushing Past Your Past conference weekends and topics like forgiveness, wholeness, parenting, pursuing your passion and more.
And then I’ll take off on Wednesday for Estes Park to teach at the Colorado Christian Writers Conference.
I’ve been working out again (took 9 weeks off after I broke a bone) so I can be up to the high altitude. You know they don’t have much of that here in Oklahoma, so the first day I drink tons of water and take it easy and my body adjusts. Eventually!
I can walk miles here, but there I walk like a 90+ year-old girl in traction. After the first day I start turning into my own age again!
I’ll post pics from the graduation and also share highlights from CCWC next week.
See you on Monday!

Hi, I would like to thank you for your devotional this morning. It struck a chord within my heart. Thank you. Christine
May 12th, 2009 at 6:48 amTHANKS FOR THE SHARING. just visited your site for the first time. The tip on drinking lots of water to help adjust to altitude is one I will have to try. My body doesn’t adjust well to changes.
