Phone a Friend

I remember sitting in church one day when I was newly married and thinking, "Wow, I SO don't know how to do this!" Meaning marriage, housekeeping, finances, life.

Actually, it was the 80's so I probably said something more like, "Like, dude, don't have a cow, but, like, I really don't know how to do this, know what I mean?"

Any way, having expressed that sentiment, I looked around the congregation to take an inventory of who I might go to for help. Ummm. Nobody, really. I had a Sunday morning only relationship with most of the women in attendance. I've always wondered if a little help then might have kept a few issues from getting too big later on.

So that's why I LOVE getting together with our Journey Fellowship women. So we can take good care of each other! I enjoyed breakfast today, and learned some important stuff I didn't know about a few friends.

So, here's the "assignment" for the next two weeks.

1. Complete chapters 1 and 2 in the "Being Yourself" book. We'll talk about it next time.
2. Ask another woman in the church how to pray for her. Then let her know you did, at least twice!


I'll let you know where we'll meet next time soon. If you can't meet with us, you might consider getting the book and keeping up with us through e-mail or this blog. Kelli has the books on reserve at Lifeway at Portland and NW Expressway, across from that one grocery store that has completely slipped my mind! Or you can order online.

Love ya!
Shari
