FROG

 

Looking for FROG moments

Since coming back from Philly, I’ve had a full plate. On a routine of every Tuesday, Beth and I have been taking a Zumba class, an aerobic Latin dance class. It has so much fun exercising without realizing it. Wednesdays are small group night. We’ve been discussing some hard core stuff, like pre-destination and salvation.

Over the rest of the weeks, I’ve been able to get some great fellowship time in. I’ve gone to the county fair, stayed up late to watch the meteor shower, and played a game of Speed Ping Pong.  Note to the single sisters: There is a plethora of well qualified Christian gentlemen out here who you need to meet! LOL!

I am challenged by the singles/young professionals group. Sure we are not all on the same page, but we aren’t going to back down just because someone has a different opinion. Though I am slowing feeling the sense of belonging out here, I still miss my Ohioan friends. I am planning to be in the Dayton area over Labor Day weekend. There are so many people I need to see, but I am unsure whether or not I will have enough time. I guess that means I have to make many more trips out there in order to accommodate all visits! J

Working in a world of acronyms, you are always more that happy to receive more in order to confuse yourself and your co-workers. Nevertheless, FROG is an acronym which I’m surprised I never used before. Fully Rely On God. Simple yet so difficult to muster.

I am a people pleaser. I hate people being unhappy in anyway and more so, it is even more hurtful when people could be unhappy because of my actions. How can I get around that? How can I become someone who wants to please God and not man? Also, being strong enough in my convictions to not feel guilt?

Cheers!

Prayer Requests:  relationship with family, BJ, Pepto, Beth, Becky, Ryan, Matt K., my sister, my parents, my brothers, Kalli & Russ, Jenny & Nathan, Chris, Boo, Austin, Maria & Richard, my host family, The Jones, HBM & her family, Erin & J-Mac, Speedy, Mac & Cheese, Sally, Sarah, Sarah & Stan, Morgan & Kevin, Hyjung & Jimmy, Janiece, Cassie, Adam, my future favorite doctor!

You know, your statement of "How can I please God and not man" really spoke to me.  We are all so guilty of that, especially me!  Thanks for the reminder!!!!

I've missed you!  I wondered if you dropped off the face of the earth!  I hope you can come to Bethany that weekend so I can give you a big hug!!!  Love ya!

Hey!!!!  I've missed you so much.  I have my blogs scattered all through my favorites and last night I thought "where is your journal".  So, I look and I've missed you so much in your writing!  I hope things are going great.  Sounds like your job really lets you travel.  Glad you've found a church home.  Miss you lots!  Lots of Love!
