Quick Takes

Hello!
I'm still enjoying Christmas Vacation with my family, but I wanted to check in real quick with a few short items:



#1 CLICK RIGHT HERE to see my BFF's take on our day of adventures yesterday. What a breath of fresh air it was to have a whole day to just hang with someone who not just knows me so very, very well but who encourages and challenges me to follow Him. Oh, and as you'll see as you read, she's a hoot, too.

.

#2 If you're praying about joining our Safari through the Book of Daniel study, here's an update...
I've been working on the study all day today, and have determined that the plan to make it a 4 week study (each week having four units to study) is not going to work right... instead, it'll be a 12 week study (each week having one unit to study.)  I'm aiming to have the first week ready to go when my kids go back to school- January 11.  I'm really excited to see this all coming together, and hope you're not freaked out by the new timeline. Though we'll go much longer, I think it'll make it much more doable- less of a burden. The smaller bites and longer time should give us the opportunity to really dig in and study, rather than rush through so we can keep up.   Let me know what you think about this idea.



#3 I did, indeed, get my Vera Bradley laptop case. *Cue the Hallelujah Chorus* I am a spoiled girl. Thank you for rooting for me! I've never really been a designer bag gal, but I have to say my heart flipped a bit when I opened the beautiful box and saw this bit of fabulousness.

Okay, well, back to writing the study and enjoying my family. Tomorrow is going to be an amazing day of goodness... hanging with some people I love (S4J & ForceDotMom!!!!) and their kids at a local mini golf park, and then jammin' out to praise music. So.very.exciting!

Hope I can sleep tonight!!!  Happy Days after Christmas, my friends!



God the Father knew you and chose you long ago, and his Spirit has made you holy. As a result, you have obeyed him and have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ.
May God give you more and more grace and peace.
The Hope of Eternal Life All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay.

1 Peter 1:2-4

I have to admit that I was reticent about the laptop bag, and I have now seen the error of my ways. YOUR Vera Bradley laptop bag is captivating. I'm still sticking with you on the study. Oh let's be real - I would stick with you to lava, flood, coconuts falling from the sky, and maybe even foreign food.

You know...I "have" to do a bible study of some kind, right? Might as well extend Daniel and do it well. I'm very excited, and grateful for your ability to teach this and willingness to take it on. Glad you had fun with your BFF and your Vera. ;)

okay...(deep breath) I'm praying about the Daniel study. I am thinking of a million reasons why not but the reason why I should is I might get to know some really cool chicas a little better who can encourage me in the Lord, right?

I'm preparing to move, have no printer, may be moving a few states away any second or just a few cities away we're not sure yet, committing to doing anything on anyone else's time table freaks me out..But I'm ready for this great adventure!!
