My AA meeting??
For my Mental Health class this semester, my fellow nurses-to-be and I will need to attend an AA meeting to see what it is like. I haven't picked a date out but I will soon and I will update everyone on how this goes.
My real reason for writing this post is to parallel my soon to be AA meeting with my weekly bible study. I love my group of girls, I look forward to going and sharing with them each week. After taking Mental Health orientation and reflecting on my little knowledge of what AA meetings are, I began to see that my bible study nights are my personal AA meetings. I am addicted to Christ, the world sees that as a problem, so I need support. Unlike in AA, I will not 'recover' from my addiction, if anything I pray it gets worse! One can only hope :)

Painted Skies
Last Friday as I drove home from Minnesota after five wonderful days of visiting some friends, I could not help myself as I got my camera out and snapped a few shots of the gorgeous sky before me. The Lord had painted the sky so beautifully that day as if it were just for me. I had a lot of things on my mind, but mostly I was thinking about what kind of life God has planned for me. I know he has plans to prosper me and not to harm me, he plans to give me a hope and a future...but no where in that verse does it say that I get to know these plans right away! And that tends to be my problem, I want to know his plans now not later. Yet, at the same time I know his timing truly is perfect and cannot be rushed even if I desperately want to know now!
I don't make New Year's Resolutions, but I do reflect over the past year and look forward to what is ahead in the new year and try to think of things I want to accomplish, and see changed in my life. Since I am a slight perfectionist, my list is usually very long, but this year I simplified:
- To love my God
- To be loved by my God
- To know my God
- To share my God
