february in review

(originally posted on my blog at the original groupee.com social networking site.)

i used to be in the pattern of posting "month-in-review" blogs, but i fell away from it. life has changed so dramatically since the beginning of february, i can't help but post.

* began Lent, giving up eating out, determining to eat from our home (groceries), being better stewards of our resources, and taking better care of our temples.
* superbowl party at kids church.
* welcomed my long-distance friend, steven, to the Groupee team.
* saw the church come to financial crisis, resulting in major cutbacks.
* accepted a job offer at the church to fill essentially 4 positions in one.
* gave notice at Groupee, after more than 7 1/2 years.
* saw God's faithfulness as He provided for the big and little things - like health insurance and a second vehicle.
* celebrated valentine's day.
* went to a huskies game with mom.
* already late to apply for our passports, we realized we'd lost our birth certificates, had to order new ones.
* applied for our passports.
* filmed my last (...or is it?) paranormal office episode.
* noted spiritual growth in myself as the turmoil of the church brought me to praying that God's will would be done, instead of a more selfish prayer like "God give me this job". thank you Lord for spiritual growth!!
* today's leap year!

whirlwind! next month promises to be just as exciting...
