Junk in the Trunk

B and I attend Life Group which is a small group with people that go to our church. This semester our Bible Study is Community which is a study that teaches you how to bond with those around you. During weeks 4-6 each person in the group has to give their life story. I think everyone in the group was just a little panicked to say the least. 

A part of our group went this past week. They all did a great job and gave us the motivation to truly tell our story. I know that we will not lay out all of our junk but we will give what matters most. Some of that junk just needs to stay in the trunk for now. 

It has taken two days to type out my story. I know I am missing things and mentioning things that don't matter. I challenge you to try to write out your life story and relate it to your beliefs. I think it has been difficult for everyone in our group and we all have different backgrounds.

Over this past month I have been to the Ft. Worth Stock Show, Austin and the San Antonio Stock Show with my 4-H members. I truly have some great kids and I am thankful for the job I have. It is not always easy and sometimes I am away from home but it is very rewarding. I cannot wait for Kbug to be in the 3rd grade so she will get to take part in some of the adventures.

Since the last post Lent has started. I am not Catholic but I have practiced Lent since college. This year I gave up sodas, tea, koolaide, pretty much everything but water. Now and then I will make a fruit smoothy since it is counting towards my fruit intake and well I don't count it. Last year I gave up Facebook and I think this is just as difficult.  It probably doesn't help that B gave up sodas and I am constantly making koolaide and tea so that he has something to drink. Nothing like a nice dose of temptation to keep you grounded.

This next month will be fast and furious. B has drill, in-laws are coming for a visit, spring break, youth fair, Kbug's 8th birthday and Easter.
