Just the other day, right before heading to a class at the gym, where I'd just be partaking, not teaching, I had this thought, " Maybe I should grab my own music for teaching Kickboxing". I deliberated, and finally decided, "This could be a God prompting...and you don't want to get there, have the teacher not show up, them ask YOU, and then you have to teach with bad music." SO I grabbed the cd, went to class, and what do you know!? The instructor didn't show up, and I taught! I taught a FULL class (at the good hour-5pm), with MY music! They loved it. I'm glad I didn't ignore that little spirit prompting!
Have you ever had one of those "random" thoughts that just pops in your head? Like, "Maybe I should grab my unbrella", "I bet I should move that candle"...or any other "random" thought that is so easy to dismiss with rationality? WELL I have LEARNED NOT to dismiss it!!

A transition is taking place--and I must say, it's not an easy one.
Yesterday, Jed and Jaime, the founders of the ministry here, announced that they are leaving, December 5th---THIS YEAR! Over the past couple months, it's become clear to them that their dream here, mostly involving the cafe, was actually becoming much more of a burden. As you may guess, this isn't the easiest new for me! Not only are the people who I came here to work with leaving...but they are my dear dear friends! I miss them already, just thinking about it. Joel is now in charge of Meltdown, specifically running our church. We also do still plan to open the cafe around January, Lord willing! If you have any ideas for a name, let me know, as we won't be using The Lanky Llama. My hope is to really bless Jed and Jaime in the months they have left here. I have loved the time I have had with them, and the heart I have seen in them. If you would even like to send an email to them, or a note of encouragement, you can do so through me, and I'll deliver it. Please keep us all, as well as the ministry, in your prayers. Christmas you know is coming so near;
A great opportunity is given this year. This month I'm asking you to give gifts; To poor native children who are needing a lift. These children are lacking in shoes, books and toys; All things are needed, for girls or for boys. To be delivered directly by me; I'm excited to see the faces of glee. Would you consider blessing a child; With a donation: large, moderate or mild? The best way to do this sending the cash; And my friends and I will pick up the stash. ~All my love~ Adrienne Write Check to: OUMC with a note for: Christmas gifts Send donations to: Barb Cole 308 Maple St. Manchester PA 17345 |
