Blessing Or Bust?

An update...

1. The super bowl party was a success in that the T.V. worked, we had pleeeenty of food and drinks, and it was an exciting game. BUT, very few people came. Second yr. in a row that it wasn't much of a hit. Except last yr. we couldn't even get the game on...haha. Now we know people probably prefer to hang out in the comfort of their own home & friends during the Super Bowl.

2. Woman to Woman - It was no show.
Behind what seemed to be a bitter providence was a blessing. Jack and I found ourselves lost in each others words while satisfying our sweet tooth's with chocolate covered strawberries I had originally prepared for the girls. We laughed together, cuddled on the couch, and got to know each other even more as we shared how we were doing and what we were learning. In my mind... this "bust" was meant for the blessing that followed. I have a wonderful husband!

3. We are still waiting to see if Jack's fellow student will be hired here.

A few things to pray for...

1. Super Bowl ~  Tomorrow Jack is putting together a Super Bowl Party. Please pray residents come and that all the details get taken care of smoothly.

2. Co-Worker ~ White Rock Hills as interviewed one of Jack's fellow students to help with the social services here. She has a lot of experience with inner-city ministry from living in New York prior to Dallas. Pray she gets hired!

3. Woman to Woman ~ I am going to start a bi-weekly Bible Study/Fellowship time for the High School girls in our town homes. I'm calling it Woman to Woman. I have no idea what it will look like or where these girls will be coming from spiritually or emotionally. But, I am excited about it and believe God will work through it to offer hope & truth to these girls. It will start next Sun. Feb. 14th. at 8pm. The idea is to hold it in our home after the kids have gone to bed :) Pray this happens smoothly too!

 Come back to hear how these next two events go!
