Even though I got up a little after 7am, it felt like sleeping in after yesterday’s early rising. I left for church early and make copies of the Sunday School lessons for the next 7 or 8 weeks so Mary had a copy. We had a visitor today, Vivi, who is my niece Tonia’s niece! She was an upbeat little girl and seemed to really enjoy the class. We took some time for Play-dough and Gracie made Mickey and Minnie Mouse. I guess she’s going to Disney in March and is very excited! She really did a good job. Max had a lot of great information to share during the lesson, so we had a lot of child-input this morning. We all had a good class! We finished our finger paint project about being influencers. They had good ideas.

Our little behind-the-scenes stickee note writer is still leaving notes! It’s so cheering to see them – feels so personal. Thanks to whomever is so thoughtful.

Todd’s message was the first in a series of three entitled BREAKTHROUGH. Today we are breaking through disappointment. One of the most interesting points was that the first thing we do in a crisis or disappointment is to pray. That is not a WRONG thought, but when we do that our focus is on ourselves. We are self-centered and are thinking primarily about our requests. If you look in Psalms 77 it talks about turning to God, but what the writer does is to remember everything that God has done in the past, and all the blessings we have. That way we are focused on God and not ourselves. While we are trying to make our way through our problem, God is working upstream (reference crossing the Jordan River!) where we can’t see – already working on resolving our problems, His way! Never cease to focus on God, and always remember to include prayer!
