The Nearly/Newly class kicked off this past weekend and we are so pumped! This semester we are hosting a small group here, and we're so excited to get to know the 6 couples in our group! Tonight we had our first group night which was a game night! Game nights are always great because you really get to see some fun personality from everyone. Played some Guesstures, and I have to hand it to the guys, they ROCKED. They beat us girls flat out. However, the Apples to Apples crown was taken by a girl so all was good in the hood. During Guesstures, I earned a whopping two points for the ladies so it definitely wasn't my night. There will be more nights in the future though. This is just one of many, and I believe that we, Team Allison, will be a strong challenge for anyone in the future.
Note to the Michner Clan: GAME ON.
Manders comes next week! So excited for her to visit and to have some quality time with her!
I'm headed to the Midwest in 2 weeks for the Bowyer/Smith wedding, and I am so excited for that. Poor Brad has to stay and work, but I think he's ok with it because it's going to be an awesome weekend to see all the girls from Olivet, and to see Britt as a gorgeous bride! It's been entirely too long since I've seen those ladies!
Brad will be headed back to compressed work week in November, I am headed to days hopefully by January, and we are on our way to a more normal life SOON! Yay!
Other than that we're just learning and growing day by day. Personally, I'm learning that the devil hates to see us leaning on the Lord and growing in Christ. I've been struggling lately, and today as I was praying and thinking about this anxiety and worry that has been overtaking me, I realized that Satan is trying to his best to work against God. Latley, I have seen God's hand on so many situations in our lives, and I have felt His presence so unquestionably, and yet it seems that the stronger I feel God's presence, the more Satan works to tear me apart at my weaknesses. I hate that it's taken me this long to realize, apparently I'm blind. However, I'm so thankful for an ever-present, all knowing Father who saved me. Daily. Also, I'm learning daily how much I cherish this husband of mine who walks with me through hard times without wavering. So there's my point for the day.
Have a great week!
