Community

Great news! We finally have teachers for our community group! We are so excited. You see, we have been without a real "leader" since the end of May. Currently, we consist of 2 couples (us included) that are regulars, and a few singles that come occasionally. Neither of the couples wanted to take on the responsibility as leaders because we wanted the chance to learn. I have to admit, I was beginning to think we were never going to find teachers. However, I know this was all in God's perfect timing. I love the fact that through this time it has allowed us the chance to become better friends with Tim and Jessica. Our new leaders start September 4th. Now it's time for us to get out there and find people to invite!

The Life You've Always Wanted

So this past week I had to read this book for school:



We actually went through this book at church a few years ago, and I have to admit that it has challenged me just as much the second time as it did the first. I was going through a rough time in my life when I first read this book (Tanner and I had broken up for what I thought was for good), and I really wasn't sure if it would be as helpful to me this time around. However, I was wrong. Now, I must admit I am a little bias to this book. Our Pastor preached a sermon on one of the chapters which is part of what caused us to get back together. However, I think it is something that everyone could benefit from reading. The chapter that has the greatest effect on me is the one about being patient. If you know me at all, you probably know that I am not a patient person. However, this chapter challenges me to try to change this daily.

So, this is my book recommendation. Hmmm, maybe I will start doing this more often.
