This week has been a busy one, not so much with work, but with getting together for a number of Christmas activities. Karen has been making salads, tomato/cucumber trays, cheese and cracker platters, a calzone-type dinner and it has been non-stop gatherings and get-togethers with church services, Christmas Contatas, a Christmas-eve candlelight service, a birthday trip with a friend to Milledgeville, GA today, Christmas dinner at Don and Sonja's yesterday where I was asked to give my testimony, and a planned trip to Stone Mountain for tomorrow. We had a retirement ceremony Tuesday for a couple who had volunteered here for 12 years and a farewell luncheon for them that same day, staff chapel on Wednesday, the weekly bread/dessert delivery from Publix Market. It rained almost four inches early in the week and today it was time for laundry, helping finishing Hugh and LaVon's deck and for me to read most of the book "Zvi" which was given to me yesterday.
We were able to talk with family in Colorado and Florida and Karen texted a bunch of our friends and had many return messages. We wrote to our home church (Shiloh Christian Church) in Fort Collins and the note was sent out in their weekly letter to the fellowship. I even had a call from Larry checking on us because the every-three-day blog was absent and an e-mail from Noah explaining why our blog was accidently taken off the Shiloh website. Saxton even called and we received a couple of e-cards one from Mack and Arleene and another from our window defoggers in Arkansas.
It's strange that my last blog talked about our kind of "flying alone" in our journey, and since then it has been a beehive of activity, church and social activities and being as connected as we have ever been. As we have been finding out; make plans and God will have a different one for us; write what you are feeling and pretty soon you're feeling different. I get the distinct impression that God is letting us know that He is guiding the ship and we just need to enjoy the ride and leave the driving to Him. With all that is going on in our life and in the world, it's good to know and accept that GOD IS IN CONTROL and ALL IS WELL.
