Catching Up

Friday afternoon Chris & I rode the motorcycles to Napoleon to meet with Russ & Cindy, house church leaders who live near Defiance. To say that it was encouraging is a major understatement. Russ is a fatherly figure and spoke great truth to me as he got in my face about the importance of putting my relationship with Jesus above all else in my life. It was a timely and very appropriate word, and I thank God for speaking through Russ.
Friday night we had a bonfire at Dilbones and relaxed with friends. It was especially good to see Dave & Beth.
I worked Saturday in our Perrysburg office and spent a couple of hours reading Acts and praying. It was an awesome morning! I also had a very meaningful conversation with another realtor for whom I've been praying. In the afternoon, we went to my broker's cottage at Devil's Lake, MI. I got to play with Seth & Shani, ride a jet ski and kneeboard. The weather was perfect and it was fun to hang out with my colleagues and their families. We left that party early to attend a barn dance for international students at BGSU. It was sponsored by Global Connections and I enjoyed seeing my friend Julie doing the kind of ministry she does best. We had more good food and fun, and took advantage of the great opportunity to meet new friends and share God's love.
Sunday morning I worshiped with the Falcons and Scott Pennington, the main chaplain, did a good job with the message. I got to eat brunch with the team then met my family at City Park, where Kim was participating in a Life Transformation Group with two other ladies from our church. I worked from 1:00 till about 7:30 with a new client and then met a friend who is going through a difficult time and needed some counsel. It was a long but very good day.
Today was also long but very good - special family time, productive realty work (got an accepted offer and a new listing today), cut some firewood, and celebrated Virginia's 77th birthday.
