Tuesday cancelled!

Just for those that need to know, this Tuesday, the 23rd will be cancelled. BUT we will be meeting at Heather's house on Friday night for movies and snacks... come around 7!

have a great week and a great Memorial Day weekend!

Long time, no post...

Yes, we are still meeting every week! Every Tuesday night, we will be meeting at 7:30PM at Heather and Emily's house! And hopefully, with the job slowing down, I'll have more time to update this.

Here's something to ponder on...

Be A Joy-Carrier!

The fruit of the Spirit is...joy.Galatians 5:22

Most of us are far too serious for our own good. We're uptight about everything: being five minutes late, getting stuck in traffic, waiting in line, somebody giving us a wrong look, overcooking a meal, gaining a pound, discovering a wrinkle, making an honest mistake; you name it - we lose all perspective! The problem is, we have unrealistic (and unscriptural) expectations.
God didn't say He'd take us out of our troubles; He said He'd bring us through them and make us stronger. If you want to experience the joy Jesus promised, do two things:
(1) Admit that your uptightness is largely because of the way you've decided life should be.
(2) Understand that your expectations are causing most of your frustrations. If you keep expecting things to be a certain way and they aren't, you'll always be upset.
Here's an idea: try approaching each day without all those expectations. For example, don't require everybody to be friendly; then when some are you'll be delighted. Don't expect your day to be trouble-free; instead when problems come, say: "Thank you Lord for a chance to grow in grace."
Do it, and you'll see how much better everything is. Rather than fighting against life you'll be flowing with it. And pretty soon, if you work at it, you'll enjoy your life more, and other people will enjoy being around you much more too!

That's why Paul wrote, "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" ( 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NRS).
