Yes that's right - you're not dreaming, I am actually posting a Saturday blog on Saturday! I hope everyone had a great weekend and week. My weeks just seem to be getting busier, but it's definitely a good busy. On Monday I met with Habitat for Humanity to start discussing a Christmas Project- but it's still in the makings (I'll keep you posted on that). Tuesday I spoke at the BCC Life Enrichment Program in the morning, and then went to the United Way of El Dorado Campaign Kick-off - both were a lot of fun : ) Wednesday was especially busy. I gave my first "Right Decisions, Right Now" speech at Rose Hill MS, then went to lunch with some representatives from AT&T (We discussed a possible new sponsorship!!! Pray about this one !!!
, and finally went to an employee meeting at Sherwin Williams of Andover and gave a speech. Thursday I spent the day with Auto Craft and their annual Golf Tournament. Friday I spent some time mentoring at Minneha Elementary, and I got to emcee the first night of "Andover Idol" that evening. The competition in Andover was so much fun! It carried over to Saturday night as well and I just finished emceeing those finals. Congratulations to the four new Andover Idols! Earlier today I was honored to represent Heritage Funeral Home of Andover in the Greater Andover Days Parade ( the staff was such a pleasure to get to know : ) , and in the afternoon I had a chance to hold a book signing in the park. Next week is pretty full as well, but I'm looking forward to it. I head out for western Kansas tommorrow night, and I'll spend almost all of next week out there.
I've been reading in Proverbs some more this week and there's a verse that's really stuck with me. You may have heard it before - it's Proverbs 3:27 " Do not withold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do so." One thing I've always enjoyed is just being a servant - I love to voluteer and help however I can. But sometime service can become tiresome, and we're all tempted to give in and up. But God tells us that we are to keep at it - keep giving of ourselves to serve others. Well have a good week and I will catch you next Saturday . . . hopefully : )
