So I'm totally looking forward to Easter coming up soon. Why you might ask....well other than the celebration of Christ rising from the dead - it's because my church - OPC - has a Saturday service. Why might that be exciting for me? Because I actually get to go to big people church!!! Not that I don't love the kids and helping lead then to God through worship. I miss being in the service and hearing the awesome songs they pick and hearing Pastor Bob speak. I can get the messages from Bob on iTunes at anytime. But it is not the same. There is no music just the message. Now for some that would be great and they love it. But I'm all about the music too. To me the experience is just not complete without the music.
It probably has something to do with how I think God talks to me. He has used quite a few songs in my past to get a message across to me. Could be because he knows I hear it there. Could be because he has used other methods that I didn't hear or get. Could just be that I'm pulling this out of my butt and the two don't connect.
And now I've been sidetracked by Girl Scout issues. This is what happens when you are too nice and too willing to help.....I volunteered to be the cookie mom for my youngest daughter's troop. Thinking no big deal my mom did it for me. Well I later found out my mom wasn't just troop cookie mom, but service unit leader AND cookie cupboard for booth sales. WOW! And I thought that wasn't that hard. LOL! So I have 19 girls in the troop and 5 needed reminder calls on when money was due.....the day after it was due. I have received 4 of the 5's money. The last one I spoke to was the girl we had to call her parents to pick up their cookies. So no big surprise that I'd have to call to get the money right? The sad thing is that they live less than a block from the school to drop off the money in the office. How hard is that???? Evidently too hard as I still don't have it yet. My paperwork is due tomorrow at the latest. What to do? What to do? I can fill out paper work and have the Girl Scout Council go after them for the money. I can submit my paperwork paid in full and wait until they pay.......Yeah right. Or I can wait another day for it to be sent in and turn in my paperwork at the last minute to my unit leader. At this point I'm thinking option A......but I'm leaving it up to my troop leader to make the final decision. And this is just the end of my frustration with the whole cookie mom business for this troop. God grant me patience to not strangle someone!
Well its now time to get ready for work and eat something before I go. Have a great day!
