The Eve

Here it is, the eve of our first set up for Christ Fellowship, Stuart Campus. Thankfully, I do not feel stressed one bit. I am sure it is God's grace but it also is because we have a great team of people working to bring Christ to the Treasure Coast. I also think it is due in part to the fact that I am not totally invested in this process. Right or wrong, it is how I feel. Don't get me wrong, I am excited about the work God is going to do in Martin and St. Lucie counties and I am glad to be a part of it. The thing that God has been speaking to me is that this is His church, his work and he is responsible for the results, all I have to do is my job to the best of the ability He has given me. That really is a huge relief. It is about resting in Christ, as my co-worker, Michael, reminded us of this week. So excuse me if I do not blog that much over these next two weeks before our official launch on 9/7. I will be resting.

Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Ponderings that don't deserve a post of their own...

Never before have I been so sweaty, sticky, and stained and cared so little. On a sign in the ladies room at the US Consulate: Help keep our environment clean: Please keep your feet on the floor and not on the toilet seat. What the ...? My new diet and exercise plan - parenting twins. Hong Kong - ultra firm mattress, barely uncomfortable. Nanchang - surprisingly plush mattress, just right.  Guangzhou - what mattress? it really should be called a platform or plank.   Loving the people, marketing and salesmanship skills of the Chinese shop owners. I wonder if they have attended a John Maxwell seminar. He is popular here, you know. One would think that the country that built this thoroughly modern skyscraper , the second largest in the world, could come up with a way of making the tap water potable. Why are there so many Chinese people wandering around the hotel in their robes? Note to self - do not shake a baby bottle filled with very hot formula. Question:...

I really thought I would have time to blog everyday on this "once in a life time trip" but in reality, yesterday I did not even have time to brush my hair and I have yet to wash it since getting the twins on Sunday. So as I sit here on Tuesday evening I want to remember and record all that has transpired since the girls were first placed in our arms but I am sitting in a dark hotel since Abbi and Livi are asleep in their cribs just 10 feet away.  The near darkness make me want to crawl under the covers and fade into dream land. So, the remedy is going to be a bulleted list which I will try to expand on later. "Try" is the operative word here. Gotcha Day was traumatic for the girls but they soon calmed down and just eyed us with suspicion for the evening. Prior to getting the girls there was a two hour meeting to discuss feeding and caring for the babies and the itinerary. Monday was paperwork day. The first office was where the adoption became official. ...
