From now on I will be posting at amandajoparks.blogspot.com. Sam will probably start his own blog soon. I guess it is time for a new blog since we have been back in the U.S. for over a year! Crazy!



And i tell myself, “God is good”

So, yesterday I took the GREs, and by the grace of God, they went well. THEN, on the way home, I got in an accident. I was going about 7 miles a hour, yet somehow my whole front end is totaled and the airbag even came out!

But, no one is hurt, I have car insurance and life will go on. I just felt really stupid. I hate feeling stupid and incapable. Sam likes to say, “Women drivers, no survivors.” He may be right that women are not the greatest drivers, but thank the Lord, I survived! God really is good is in just showing me humility and helping me to accept my mistakes, even though I don’t like it. Plus, He protected me and the other women from even a scratch on our bodies!

Now, I am just praying those car insurance rates don’t go up….. :)

International Food and Friendship Night at our House!

We hosted an international dinner at our house this fall break, and it was such great fun! It was a stretch for me as hostess (the fire alarm only went off once :)), but I had a lot of help.

 

We ate an Italian feast together, but also got a chance to have discussion groups about friendship and spirituality.

God was really sweet in just bringing together all the details of food and rides and discussion.

 

Next time though, I am thinking potluck!
