...is it STILL windy?? Golly! This last weekend the wind gusted quite a bit and I thought...is it ever going to end?? We had some wild wind gusts this weekend. In fact, last week it took off a 'corner' board off from the front of our house after it had been dangling back and forth in front of my sister's window. It landed on the porch roof and was found the next day on the ground on the side of the house. This winter has been WILD in weather. First, we had the snow and ice, next was all the flooding in the region ( I think WA residents are still cleaning up after that), and now this wind that has knocked down trees and carports have fallen in all over the place. I just hope that no one has gotten hurt in all this.
Oh, last week, it was also FOGgy. I could not believe how foggy it was last Tuesday night when I was coming home from Bible Study. An analogy was made at study about knowing that Jesus, who is our Hope, is there and will always be there where we know He will be. We're on the highway and we know where the church is off the highway but we can't see it because it is so foggy BUT we know it's there. That's how we should think about Jesus...He's always there.
Someone close to me thought she was dreaming when she was taken by ambulance to the ER last week. She had had a seizure in the store. Thank the Lord she was there and not in the car driving!!! She is okay now but sore from how she fell and goes in tomorrow for an EEG and Thursday for a MRI. I have been taking her to work in the mornings until she is allowed to drive again.
Work has been going okay. Payroll was last week and we sent if off Tuesday about 4ish which I think is the earliest we have sent it since the merger. Bible study has been good the last couple weeks...especially last week when it was on Romans 5. I really liked that lesson. The sermon this weekend was on 2 Cor 6 and then in Mosaic we had a planning meeting of what we want to do this year in our group. We at least figured out the first three months or so. Alyssa's team won their game yesterday, 45-29.
Last but not least for today was a historical day for the country. Inauguration Day for President-elect Obama was sworn into Presidency as the 44th President of the USA. I just saw his speech as they showed it on the 10 o'clock news again. He and the other leaders of the country are going to need lots of prayers during their time in office.

11 Days
Hello! Happy New Year! Can you believe it is 2009??!!! My title states how many days of the year have gone by already. Hope you have had a good first 11 days of 2009.
As of January first, the other two branches of the 'old' company joined up and so now we are one BIG happy family. I have not heard yet of anything that has gone awry but hopefully there will not be. We have payroll again this week and that will be their first payroll under the new company as we did their last and final payroll under old company last week.
It was great to get back to church on Dec. 27 after all that snow we had. New year's weekend we went to the coast. My sister and I had that Friday off so we left on the morning of the first and came back Sunday night. It was a good time and nice to get away for a few days. Plus we got to see some family members while we were over there. One of them is my great aunt which I only get to see about once a year, maybe twice a year if I am lucky. It was really nice to see her!
Women's Bible Study started back up this last week and we had fellowship night at one of our leader's homes. It was nice to see everyone again after a long holiday break and catch up. We had some good soup and did a neat craft. I worked on my lesson for this week this weekend and so far it has been a really good lesson. A couple verses have already spoken to me and so I am going to share them this week at study.
Church was really good this weekend. It was our annual Sanctity of Life weekend and we had a special guest speaker who mentioned quite a few times that she is 'God's girl'! She is really happy about that fact and shows it to the people she meets and talks to. There was a reason God spared her life when her mom was aborting her at 7 1/2 months along in the pregnancy and survived! What an amazing woman! And she has cerebral palsy because of that but it doesn't seem to bother her much, knowing that God loves her and is in control of her life.
Oh, I was able to go see my niece play in her basketball game this past Friday night. Her team won 39-29! It was quite exciting to see those jr. high girls play...they get physical in their playing but to a point, that's good. I hope to get to more of her games this season.
Last night Mosaic had our Christmas party that got postponed from the snow we had. Today we had my aunt and cousin over, plus my brother and sister-in-law for Christmas. It was nice to see them but strange to have Christmas in January.
I will end this post with a verse from this week's lesson that spoke to me. Hope you have a good week!
"and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen." Rev 1:5-6
