I have started school - and two classes it a lot harder than I thought they would be. I go to school on Monday and Thursdays. It makes the weeks speed by, though. I am enjoying work. It is busy, and crazy, and frustrating, and fun - and I love going everyday. One of my co-workers is going through the process of being put on the heart transplant list. Our friend Perry was able to go talk to her and share with her his story. Please pray for Pat. She has been through so much in the last year or so.
This is the beginning of Holy Week. It will be a long week, but it is such a beautiful and meaningful progression from Maundy-Thursday to Easter Sunday. It is deeply moving to me. The church is doing well, and we have had over 80 people for the last several Sundays. We had over 100 this Sunday. There is a group from a different church who may be joining us. It is sad to think of other church having difficulties and splitting, but it is nice to have a growth spurt. It is an exciting time for us at St. James.
I have finally finished that sweater for Jasmine - and found a button (well, really a couple of buttons) for it:
This button was "custom made" - I found them at Wal-mart in the obviously-being-closed-down sewing /crafting section. The big white button has a flower pattern on the front, but it looked too old fashioned for a baby's sweater. The small pink flower was too small for this sweater, so I turned the white button over, and added the pink one on top. Yea! it worked and looks cute!
Now let's just hope that she is not packing things to go off to college - I just know this will be too small for her, now that I got the button dilemma worked out!And speaking of Jasmine, here are some pic's that I promised - ones her daddy sent to me - taken in January, I think:
I can see a lot of her daddy in her, but I see glimpses of mom, too. Either way, isn't she sweet?
