NE Ohio State Rep for CR

Well, last weekend I met with the other 2 Ohio State Reps...and boy howdy there is a lot to do, but God is so good to give me 2 other State Reps that are fantastic! These Ladies are so gracious and wanting to help me get started and all. I have been given the top Eastern 10 counties as my region. I was able to get the church secretary to make some business cards up for me for the interim until my bc come from national. I am attempting to come up with an introductory letter to send to all the CR groups in my region. This is not an easy thing for me to do, since I tend to write like I talk and am not a secretary by trade. And since I talk about 1 subject right to another subject and may go back to the first subject and in the middle of that get started on something else - see what I mean...and this letter needs to flow and do a good job of letting other groups know me. Sheesh - that is going to be hard to do, but I am going to give it my best shot and I know I have people that will proof my letter and give me very good input.

My Christmas Tree

I have a secret Santa at work...this arrived in an interoffice envelope. I just had to share with everyone.

Since I did not put up a Christmas tree this year, this fits the ticket perfectly. The best part is that I can take this down and it stores in it's own box. What a great idea.

I am a CR State Rep

as my daughter-in-law says: WOOT! ~ I had my last interview (an hour long teleconference) on Thursday (12/9) last week and got the okay on Friday...I am on 90 days probation and then a 2 year commitment. I cannot wait to meet other reps for my region, which will happen this Spring at a regional conference. Please pray that I show Christ and His grace in all I do for Celebrate Recovery.

I have a router and am wireless

While my son was home for this past weekend he purchased a router for me. It came and was on my doorstep this evening when I got home from work. I called my son, he talked me through setting up (which I know was a little trying on his patience), but we got it set up and wohoo I can now get on my laptop in my living room and email, download or browse. It is something this new tech stuff...yeah, now all I need is a web cam and start doing it ~ I think that will be next. I have to move slow and get used to one idea at a time.

Kids were home

Well, had a very nice couple of days while my son and daughter-in-law were home for a long weekend to celebrate Christmas. It was so nice to get my daughter, her husband, my son and his wife together in one place. Had not seen my son and his wife since this past April for a couple of hours while I was in TX at my nephew's graduation from Air Force airman camp. To get together to talk, laugh and just enjoy the togetherness. WOW or as my daughter-in-law says: WOOT~ makes a Mom happier than nothing else.

Harry Potter Part 1 - Cont'd

I was thinking that the opening on this movie and it reminded me of some scriptures in the Bible that talk about wars being done by the heavenly hosts - Angels - against the demons in the spiritual realm that we cannot see. It is kind of frightening to think about this going on in the heavens and we go about our daily lives not even considering these things. The evil one is always around. Looking for that chink in your Godly armor. Another reason why Celebrate Recovery and it's 12 steps with the 8 principles keep me going on a little stronger than if I did not have them. Just some thoughts...

Need Prayers part 2

Well I have decided to go for the NE Ohio State Rep for Celebrate Recovery. I have sent in my tesimony, filled out the application, had 1 phone interview with the Regional rep and now all I have to do is have my interview with the national rep. Then I guess I wait to hear if I am chosen. A big responsibility. One I feel God brought to me. Am excited about the prospect, but nervous too. Everyone thinks I am sooooo outgoing, but in strange places and with new people, not so much. So this will be a little out of my comfort zone. I feel that this will open doors I had no idea was out there, in ways I cannot even imagine. God is so good, all the time. Thanks to everyone that prayed for me, you are truly great to have in my life.
