These might just be emotions....

Does anyone ever feel this way...like your standing in a room of a ton of different people who you know & love, and feel the loneliest you've ever felt? It's so odd, and I'm sure some of you reading this are going to think I'm crazy, but I get like this....more often than I care to admit sometimes. I don't know where it comes from either, but I'm sure somehow it's connected with the fact that my focus isn't on Christ or that I'm being self centered, or it might just be emotions...either way, it's there. I'm pretty sure a mountain top & my Bible is my only cure though.

A year already

I just looked at the calendar...I've officially worked for B&W (Babcock & Wilcox Company) for a year now! February 8, 2010 was my start date!

Time flies when you love your job!
and have a baby! :)

P.S.
The Superbowl party was great! A guy from the basketball crew showed up with his son, and my friend from work, her husband & daughter came too...with a few of the other guys from basketball & their significant others...we had a great night. One of the guys was relieved to know we weren't there to lock him in a room till he accepted Christ! (only a joke!) But it was great & hopefully I was able to establish even a little small friendship with my coworker! God is good! ♥

SuperBowl 2011

Well so on Sunday Jeremy talked about reaching out toward people who aren't "like" us. To take that uncomfortable step out & invite people, who don't know God, over to your house for dinner or something to get to know them.
Jeremy talked to some of his basketball buddies & decided to throw a Superbowl party at our house, we would invite them & others to join, as a way of putting this into action.

So I was just praying this morning on my way to work...Lord give me opportunities to invite someone to come. Well I invited a couple of my old coworkers from they bank, and they are deciding if they will come or not.

I was thinking ok...who at my job now could I invite, since its a male dominated place of work, I want to careful on who I invite...as to not give the wrong impression. Then a coworker that works at another location that I used to work with emailed some pictures of her daughter to me today.
She had her daughter a month after I had Ella, so through out our pregnancies we'd swap stories & tell each other what stage we were in...as we do now with our girls.

Well..just randomly I was like...hmmmm...maybe invite Aimee & her husband to come on Sunday. Highly doubting she'd even take my offer serious, and not expecting them to come at all...nor want to...she replies with "Sure! we'd love to come!!" hahaha I guess when you invite someone to a party you should at least think they "might" come. hahah I really did not think they would come, but they are! :) How fun is that!

God you are awesome, and when we take that small little step in honoring you, you show up in full force making all of our insecurities & worries about feeling dumb go away. I love you for that! Thank you for this small little gift! Now for Sunday...help us have a great time! I'm nervous! :) haha
