We had our Annual Church Business Meeting and Potluck last night. It's always a great time of fellowship and praise for all that God has done throughout the year. It was reported that our Church has doubled in size since we moved into our new Church building, with 60% of the people in our Church involved in a Community Group. It was also neat to hear all the things that the various ministries implemented and accomplished. There were some pretty special moments when the ministry staff expressed their love for the support of their spouses.
I made my Mexican casserole. There was a lot of food, so I had a lot leftover. It's interesting to be able to taste a lot of different foods at Church potlucks.
I also had a conversation about dreaming God's dreams and catching the next vision. There was a suggestion that I consider getting involved with the missions team at Church. I was encouraged that this person saw my potential through my excitement and energy, which I hope is a reflection of my passion for God. This is something I will pray about, since I've always had a heart for missions.
I watched Merlin again, but only caught the last half. What I like about the series, is how I see the characters develop; and especially, how the bonds of friendship between Merlin and Arthur grow. Over time, with each occurrence that draws them closer together in how they risk their life for the other, we can understand how they can have the strong relationship and trust they share later in life. In applying this to my life, this is what true friendship looks like. Friendship grows stronger over time, as it is built up through shared experiences that solidify trust in and care for one another.
On the previous day, was the wedding of a distant cousin; and our family spent the day with many relatives that we have not seen for awhile. The wedding was pretty nice and it was simple. At the reception at the Universal Hilton, the setting was nice, and the food was somewhat Asian fusion. However, the sound in the ballroom did not carry well.
