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…..

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!

Also, we have been having a few health troubles that we have been putting off seeing a doctor about because of the health insurance issue. So, your prayers for healing would also be appreciated.

Thanks everyone for your faithful friendship and prayers!

I think the best way I can describe WW to you is by a comment my friend from the Middle East said to me near the end of our time there. “Is it common for Americans to speak so freely about these things to one another?”

Oh, how I wish it was! How I wish as women we were in each other’s life cheering each other on, weeping with each other for our sorrows, praying over breaking down strongholds together and caring for past wounds, as we journeyed together.

It really was a sweet weekend for so many women. I thank the Lord for the conversations I got to have with girls and a cool seminar I got to speak at (which is not really something I am accustomed to doing, so it was a bit out of my comfort zone). I was inspired by the women on my team who lead me and what gracious godly women they are. Just keep praying that God will be working in these college girls’ hearts and that our staff team will be given wisdom from the Lord as they lead them and follow through what was started this weekend.

On a special prayer request note- Sam has a job interview today!!!! It is with a faith based non-profit in Toledo that works with the homeless, and he thinks it is an organization he could get excited about. Unfortunately, he is curled up in bed with a stomach bug, so he needs prayer for heeling, too.

By the way, have I mentioned that we live with rabid Browns fans……. yeh, luckily, we aren’t homeless after last night
