For I know the plans...

I was going over in my mind the other day, the series of events that lead us to finally feel like we had a place in South Florida. We moved there in August of 2002 and we were visiting First Baptist Weston, where we DID NOT feel called to when we first moved to FL. We had visited Sheridan Hills Baptist Church in September, but just felt it was a little far. However, after several months at FB Weston, in January 2003 we decided to try Sheridan again, and were immediately taken in by the Herwig family. They invited us to pizza that first night and the rest is history. It is my belief that God truly had a hand in leading us to Sheridan and to the Herwig family.

Well, we have been in Mt Pleasant for almost 4 months. We have really enjoyed East Cooper Baptist Church, our small group is good, the pastor is great...but we have not really connected yet. I am not hoping for an Emily replacement, that does not exist, but it would be nice to have maybe one friend that could provide an outlet for having next to zero adult stimulation most of the day. Apparently, Miss Donna Carole Kitchens does not have tons of time for me to chat her ear off when I drop off and pick up Gavin. APPARENTLY, there are other parents who need to drop off/pcik up their kids. Sheesh! Poor Miss Donna Carole! Many days, she is the ONLY other adult I come it contact with until Russ gets home. Russ says he has no friends either...at which point I just roll my eyes...it's that whole...at least he goes to work and has adult conversation while he is productively solving the problems of the world....okay, so that last part may not be true, but you get the point.

So, I pray that God will deliver me from this loneliness, Holden better start talking soon or else. :)
