Things that make you go EEEKKKKK!

So this past week was interesting. Wednesday kicked off the Women's small group (for those meeting Wednesday that is). I stuck with the same group because we were continuing our study. We did the Neighborhood Bible Study book on Mark last time and this time we are doing Acts (book 1 s.g.). I stuck with it because even though I have read the Bible I have never really studied it for any given purpose. So I thought I'll start at the basic sort of "Bible for Dummies" class - not that it was mind you. It was more the easier class of them all for those who had never studied the Bible before - ie. me the dummy. Well this time around we have a new leader (one of the old ones is still there) becauset they combined the Acts class with the Discovering the Bible class. I like this even though we are basically doing 2 studies at the same time. Why? you may ask. Well at our home church there is one Sunday School class that not only goes over the books in the Bible but goes over the History of Christianity. This other study is along those lines. I loved being in the class and learning about how things were decided and when people were persecuted in our timeline. It made it that much more real to me. But as I noticed - the only two from the Mark session were me and our leader. So this will be interesting to meet new women if they stay with us this time.

Thursday came and I was at the school that morning to make copies of our school newsletter and do some lamenating for teachers that needed it as we haven't gotten the schedule done for those volunteers yet. But that was my big thing until that evening when I had my very first Worship team practice. We got our copies of the songs and shirts for all areas that we may be working in. Then we did some practice songs. For me it was a workout, but I LOVED it. So I took home my cd to practice to and realized I knew maybe 2 songs on it and had no words for the others. So I sat and transcribed the ones I could and looked up the others online.

Friday was the volunteer meeting at the school. I roped a new kindergarten mom into working with me in the Motor Moms & Dads program. Didn't mean to put her on the spot but its so easy to do this one program. You just go when you kid is in school and you set your own schedule of volunteer time. We train you - how hard could it be. It really isn't all that hard. Really.

Saturday was family time and Sunday was the kids kickoff of the new year. It was my first morning as worship leader. By worship leader I mean I was more of an extra on the stage. I had my own little stage actually and I sang, sans mic, and danced/did the motions to the songs for both services. I was complimented by both teachers on who well I did and how good I looked. Yay because I was scared even though I wasn't going to show it. I just put on a smile and got up there and had fun. Besides when can I get to spend time playing with legos with a bunch of kids and then get up and dance and sing?
