It has been AGES since I last posted! Okay, okay - it's been a little over a week!
Regardless, I've missed my bloggies. Hope you are all well and know that you certainly have not been forgotten. I'm just feeling a bit stretched as of late and unfortunately the first thing to go is my blogging.
Church and choir are great. Allergy shots are going okay - missed this week due to an allergy attack; Kiddo's been coughing and sneezing so we tried taking a week off. We will not be missing this coming Monday. Tuesday Morning Bible Study - "Anointed, Transformed and Redeemed" - is amazing! We have a large group of ladies - bigger than usual...we have more than 20 and our group has actually gotten smaller with work schedules and new job opportunities coming up! We have both Baptist and non-denominational ladies in our group and I love when we can come together despite differences! What a great group of ladies! :) Kiddo is having a blast with his golf lessons and those will be going on only a couple more weeks - then it'll start back in the spring. NOVO is my volunteer job - the after-school Bible club. Friends, here we could use some prayer.
Since last year - very near Christmas - I have given a few hours of my week on Thursday afternoons at a local school. Our church has kind of adopted this school, it's teachers and it's students. We do many community-service projects here and it is always great fun. We also do "Whiz Kids" which is a tutoring program for struggling readers. We offer Upward sports and many of these students are signing up for those events/activities as well. However, we are lacking volunteers for NOVO and we truly need help. You see, last year we had around 80 kids. This year we have 140 enrolled and there are still forms being turned in! We lost some of our volunteers from last year and haven't yet been able to replace those, much less add to them. Please pray that God will place a burden on the hearts of some people to step forward and give of their time. These are inner city students that are afforded a special opportunity to attend a free Bible club once a week throughout the school year. They play games, do crafts, have snacks, learn about God (this semester the theme is the Ten Commandments) and sing songs. We truly need more volunteers and your prayers that God will lead those to us who are willing and burdened to help these kids will not go to waste! Thank you Prayer Warriors!
I have to go for now as I have been cleaning most of the day and still have much to do. Still thinking of you and praying for you...and I'll let you know soon how my October 7th appointment goes. I'm sure I've lost some weight! I'm persisting...by the grace of God alone! Be greatly blessed!

I have a couple of friends who are trying to lose weight and I know how hard it is. I need prayer too, so pray for me too, ok?
I can't wait to hear how you're doing.
Thanks for the info about the notes on the Lifeway website. This study we're doing now "The Inheritance" is Beth Moore, but isn't through Lifeway, but I'll check it out anyway and see if the notes are on there.
It really helps to have them ahead of time.
Have a good week Misty. A good wet week.....looks like rain almost every day, huh?
Love,
Valerie
