I'm writing this from a new laptop! It belongs to the office and is really to allow me to do payroll and other things when I'm traveling (like to Chicago) but it's great to be able to be in bed - Doug watching the Dodgers and me on the computer!!!

Anyway - praying for wisdom - we have new ideas to solve some of the issues at work, just want confirmation that it's in line with God's will. I can have great ideas but they can so clearly (in hindsight) be outside of His will! Praying, reading, waiting! I love so much how God works, letting us be part of His plan!

Just finished a great book, Chuck Smith's autobiography - so wonderful to read how God's plan unfolded in his life! Encouraging to see failures used by God - just as I've seen Him use failures in my own life. Sometimes I'm frustrated by the reality that I can't be in fulltime ministry - but then I'm brought back to the reality that my life can be a ministry.

What a great birthday it's been such a surprise in so many ways! God is indeed good!
