The local church is 100% behind us getting the building. We handed out pledge cards and almost everyone pledged something. It looks like we're only $100 short of the $1073. God is so good. I am so excited. So tomorrow, I'll give the owner and call and then we'll have to talk to the maintenance man as to where we want the SS rooms. When we come back from the assembly we'll have so much to look forward to.
Yesterday, the Jessa, Jenna and I flew to Seattle for the day to go to the Pikes Place Market. It was neat but it was 85 degrees and CROWDED. AND I couldn't bring any of the beautiful flowers or the awesome fruits and vegetables home with me. Next time I'm going to find a way to bring them home. We did go to Dress Barn and found some awesome 50% deals. I'm set for the assembly with the exception of a black sweater. Oh and we got a GPS but "Gretchen" had her problems this time. She was having us turn down wrong way, turning on to dead ends and was suppose to be taking us to Olive Garden but Olive Garden was no where to find where she took us. She still did better than I would have. When we took the rental back, the man that checked our car asked us how our day went and I said good but went on to tell him about Gretchen's "problems". He actually took the charge off (I think he left .95 on), when I told he didn't have to do that he said if she wasn't acurate we shouldn't have to pay for it. Anyway, it was good day. It felt good to not think about work or the church building situation.
Well, I was up at 4 am (went to bed at midnight) Saturday, walked 5.5 miles yesterday, had church, went grocery shopping this afternoon so I didn't get a nap, so I'm headed to bed.
God is good.

Great news about the building!!! And isn't it amazing that you can just hop on a plane to go shopping for a day HUNDREDS of miles away? What a day we live in.
People shake their head that we would do that for just one day...but what's the difference between getting in a car and driving for three hours and coming back that night. Obvious, cost would be the difference but PTL for the benefit of flying standby. It makes it no difference really. That is...if there's room on the planes. We've had it where we've got bumped several times. But not Saturday.
Micah and I are so excited- a church space! plan for twice, even three times the amount of people we do have and God will bring the rest.
build it and they will come, right?
Thank you for inviting us over last night, we've missed being with everyone so it was a nice first-Sunday back.
You know that Momma Peter gets her veggies shipped up from Seattle, right? Just get a good box, one with airholes so they can breathe, line the bottom with newspaper, and pack it full of fruits and veggies- since you'd be flying back that day anyway, they'd be perfectly fine by the time you got back.
No worse than sitting in the trunk of the car for a couple of hours while running errands. :)
Dress barn 50% off? Do you think they'll still have the sale Wednesday?
Awesome about the building and I wouldn't have thought 2x jumping on a plane for a day!LOL! Glad you all had fun.
