stewardship
something that I was going over almost a year ago has come back to me now and its a way to name a yearning I've had lately.
I'm part of a women's group that teaches a program I guess you would call it, the name of this program is the Home Experience. its about having and bringing God back to the center of your home and family, but its oh so much more than that. its about the home in general, your role as wife. I guess its kinda like home ec for the christian crowd. but even that description doesnt give it justice
well one of the lessons is the use what you have principle. its all about using what you have both spiritual gifts and physical things for the glory of God. Being stewards of what he has blessed us with.
well flashing forward to about a week ago I had this overwhelming urge to feed people, specifically having big Sunday family dinners. first the thought was just to have it be an open ended thing for friends, invite people make alot of food and whoever comes, comes. well then I got more specific and have come to the conclusion that it can be that but I really need to invite the interns from church. single guys that live at the church and despite having a residence, dont really have a home. to cook for them,maybe watch a movie or play apples to apples or other such game. to give them the sense of home they don't have as they currently serve the Lord. I know most of them now don't really cook and its gotta get tiresome being in such a big place, eating sandwiches and frozen meals.
the word stewardship came to mind and that's what I'm having such an overwhelming desire to be, a steward of the home I have, despite it being small and not really having matching dishes I have the ability to cook and open this home I am continually blessed to keep with to others. yes this is my residence, my home but really it is Gods home and these men are my brothers in Christ and I need to bless them as God blesses me.
oh goodness i don't know what the point of this is or if maybe I just sound crazy but I am soo excited about this thought and cant wait till it comes to fruition

blurry
my life is a big blur right now. all work and a little church and alot boring.
alot of stuff has happened spiritually over the last few weeks, starting with camp.
I'm pretty sure I'm being called to full time children's ministry and other such, whoa what? stuff.
I don't know what to do with any of it right now, nor do I have the time or energy to really let it sink in and process. all I can do right now really is keep on keeping on.
so such is my life, nothing and everything going on

slow to busy, very very busy
so Ive had roughly the last 5 weeks off of work. until about this last week and half I hadn't don't much.
so far in the last 10 days I've:
I got back from camp at about 1am Wednesday night and had to be back to work last Thursday at 6. the last 5 days have been exhausting. finally I have the next two days off, which will also be action packed.
camp was amazing, God really did wonders in the lives of the kids and the leaders alike, including myself.
but that's for another post, for now its nap time.
so far in the last 10 days I've:
- Gone to the beach and BBQ with some new friends
- had a house party with the youth
- went to the fabulous 4th of July picnic in Golden Gate Park with my church family
- gone to kids camp for 3 days
