Week 49 and counting down!!!this week started out very depressing for me and put me in a Bah Hum Bug mood. I loved having my best friend's family and my daughter here for the Thanksgiving weekend. The house was FULL and LOUD and WONDERFUL!!! I was in heaven!!!
Just a little, ok... a lot, of Holiday let down set in on Sunday.
This has been my busiest week ever (see this post if you are wondering why), but I am happy to say, that God has worked on my heart and it has been a wonderful weekend!!! I am tired, but everything was accomplished and came out awesome!!! I will be posting on some of it later this week.
Here it is:

IFO Christmas party
International Friendship Outreach
we had over 350 internationals at our church for a Christmas dinner, party and program.
each was given a gift and for many it was the first and maybe only time they will hear the message of Christ.
Saturday
My parents flew in today for a quick visit!!!...and no, my mom is not a 2 fisted ice cream eater...
..she's holding MINE!
How was your week?
Sara! YOU look way better than I do in the mammogram get-up. Add a scarf and you'd be good to go! Nice picture even though I say it again: you're too young for a mammo.
ReplyDeleteThat first IFO Christmas party photo still touches me... Such a sweet and loving smile on that mom.
I really like that photo of your dad standing over grandson with hug -- that is priceless :)
...Why are the boys' cones 3x the size of your's and your mothers??!!
(and you definitely have your mother's engaging and glorious smile!)
I feel like "the hurrieder I go, the behinder I get!"
ReplyDeletewONDERFUL PICS!
Great pictures Sara. So glad you're feeling better about Christmas!
ReplyDeleteLove the pics...especially the international students. :) What a cool outreach!! Brings back memories of our small group of Chinese students who used to come to our house in Indiana.
ReplyDeleteGreat pic of you waiting for your mammo. :)
Glad your week started looking up! And thankful everything went smoothly over the weekend :-) I'm pretty tired myself today and feeling rather hormonal. Maybe share some of the thoughts from that book with your readers? :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
I agree with you...goodbyes DO stink. I sent my girls back off to school on Sunday too. :-(
ReplyDeleteThat baby is so precious!
Your church is beautiful inside and looks so festive with all the decorations.
I can't believe you took your picture in your mamo shirt! LOL!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got everything accomplished and that you're in the Christmas Spirit, or maybe it's the CHRISTmas Spirit that's in you!
Loved all the photos. Looks like lots of love going on at your place.
BTW you have an award at my blog. Check it out and claim it when you have time.
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it through your crazy week! LOVE the one of your dad! Your church looks beautiful...what a neat outreach.
ReplyDeleteIs the youth pastor licensed through the state or with a private organization?
Your weeks are so diverse compared to mine...fun to see all that you do.
The pic of your dad brought tears to my eyes. You are rockin' the mammogram shirt... And I may need to look for that book. What great friends you have.
ReplyDeleteI love all the pictures this week but - the one of your dad is just the best.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard saying good bye! Whenever I go visit my sister or Mom&Dad I too get into a funk after saying goodbye!
ReplyDeleteThat little foster baby is adorable!
Glad to hear you are now in the Christmas mood.
Hi, Sara! Your week was very full! Good job on taking the time to document it--especially the one taken at the doctor! Yikes! I'm not looking forward to that day. Have a blessed week, my friend. I can't wait to see pictures of your beautiful Christmas decorations. Will you share?
ReplyDeleteAlways interesting to see/read about your week. You are an amazing woman, involved in so many loving ways with people. So, I'd say your priorities are right and no wonder you get tired!
ReplyDeleteAdelante! Onward, sistah! Blessings!!!

ReplyDeleteThat pic of your dad totally melted my heart...so precious!
