a HUGE thank you to my church....


I am so grateful for the people (the Body) of my church, Westwood Christian Missionary Alliance. They have been so wonderful during this time of recuperation. I am in 2 small groups at church, so between both groups, I have had someone bring over a meal every other day since I had surgery. It's been so wonderful. I have had Lisa and Jenn come over to mow my grass, as well as one of my neighbors! Pastor Jon was able to get a few medical supplies I needed. I had Joe Simmons (one of the elders) and Pastor Jon come pray with me the day of surgery (Pastor delayed his vacation to be there!!). I have had the David's come every Wednesday and Sunday to pick up Karlen for church and youth group. I have had Donna and Jenn and Allison come get me out of the house, just to run errands, take me to the library, and even to go eat at Chili's. It's been great! I appreciate everyone and all the help I have had! This has been a big thing for me, learning to depend on others. I LOVE to be the giver, to help others, to take meals, to lend a hand... so this has been a BIG thing for me - having foot surgery and being unable to walk, drive, get around, etc. I am learning alot through my circumstance!

Hey there! Thank you for your comment. What a sweet post. Speaking of sweet people from our church.... I really enjoyed the short time I had with you girls on Sunday. I went through a little overwhelmed period with the kiddos and I have really missed out on the small group community.
