Well, I feel like this is now an official book club. We made it through our first meeting without a hitch. It wouldn't be the same without chips and salsa. Jalayne, you were missed!
I really enjoyed talking about the book and other more serious issues. The structure was nice for the night. There were some very serious moments. Lots of pondering.
But, there were also moments of love and fun.
Excited about our newest member to Haci night. Hoping we didn't scare her off, and she will return.
*Sigh*
Hope you all are about to get your books or have gotten them. I got mine from the library today, in large print, might I add.
I seriously just love you all, and hope you know that. I had so much fun last night!
So glad you guys were able to be together last night ! I wish I could have been there. What'd ya think Lindsay ?!?! It makes me happy just seeing you together laughing. I LOVE YOU ALL ! oh and one more thing, i have the most gorgeous friends. seriously.
ReplyDeleteErin - great job on the pics!! Not sure that I love the ones of me, but they definitley capture the fun that we most certainly had :). I am planning to get my book after work today...let the reading begin!
ReplyDeleteJalayne - I sure miss your beautiful face. Mark and I pray for you and Jared daily and always check your blog. God seems to be doing some BIG things in Haiti! We will pray that it continues. Love you girl.
I just want to leave you all with one final thought from a yellow, faded sticky note that I keep on my desk at work...
"Lord, help me to do great things as though they were little, since I do them with Your power; and little things as though they were great, since I do them in Your name."
- Blaise Pascal
Everytime I glance over at this quote/prayer, it is such a wonderful reminder of how small I am and how BIG my God is!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
I love you!
The first book club meeting was a great success and I had a wonderful time with you girls! Don't worry,I was not scared off. I can't wait for more!
ReplyDeleteThis has really been a lot of fun and I think that this book club and blog can be a real blessing in our lives.
Looking forward to starting our next book!
Lindsay
Wow, great job on the pictures in the blog Erin, it looks great! Although, I'm less than impressed with the way I look... I guess I can only be mad at myself though. I ate at Haci TWICE IN THE SAME DAY!! What is wrong with me?! haha
ReplyDeleteI loved our night together the other night too. It was such a good discussion. I really enjoyed having some questions to help us go deeper.
Jalayne, WE MISSED YOU TOO!!! We are reading Redeeming Love next if you can get your hands on that :) We talked about skyping with you sometime, I'll bring my computer home when we come in April.
Love you all!!!
