In the past year or so there have been quite a few attempts by me to jump on the blogging bandwagon. I have expressed thoughts in just a few blogs with every intention to keep it up regularly, but have failed at that! So I thought, with a new hope for life; I’d try again.
Things for me haven’t changed all that much. I suppose to put it simply, it’s the same work, friends, a little play, and just a day to day routine. I have recently though just started a small group with a few friends from Northgate. We met for our first time a few Thursdays ago, and I think it is going to be a great time. We discussed the emotions that people go through while being raised in a non-Christian home, and also the emotions of those raised in a Christian based family. We also brought up the importance of accountability for one another, and taking that rollercoaster ride with those who are closest with us, because that’s part of being a Christian. It was never guaranteed to be easy, but actually the exact opposite. We as a group decided that to start our journey together, we’d select a book, and use that for a discussion topic. We also plan on serving as Christians to those who need that outreach, to those who still need their hearts lit on fire by the amazing power and glory of God.
I think being a part of a small group is something everyone should experience. Life is so full of things that are capable of steering us away from our God and making those things seem so amazing and wonderful, that it takes a good group of people and partners in your walk with God to remind you of the truth, no matter how hard it may be. So, I am very much looking forward to our weeks together, and hoping that it gives everyone a new desire to want to bring more people to know our amazing Lord.
Other than small group, like I said, life hasn’t changed all that much. But as I write this, I am watching The View, and they are discussing their “Hot Topics”. Its an interesting segment, which I am glad to catch every now and then, because they all speak their minds and bring up their points and concerns that are relevant to what we deal with on a daily basis. Today they were discussing and venting about the services for Time Warner cable and Direct TV. Mind you, most people assume that because you are Whoopi Goldberg or Barbara Walters, you never encounter such issues as a disconnected service, or other service problems with your cable or internet. But they were discussing on the show their frustrations as 3 weeks have gone by and someone has not been out to fix their services and how they said they’ve been there or their service time has been rescheduled. They also mentioned their thoughts on why the services that are provided here in the United States are given by people in Bangladesh or other places like that. I found it funny when one of the ladies stated she was speaking to someone via the phone about her services, and they asked where she was, and the customer service representative said they didn’t know where that was, and it was because she was in Bangladesh. They all laughed….
I am hoping that from here I can keep up more regularly with this blog, as an expression of my day to day and the thoughts and new journeys that life may bring!
I shall wrap this up here and catch up with you later! I’m off to make some tea and find a blanket to cozy up in.
