Even In The Little Things...

I can't believe I just made myself a whole plate of pasta and its almost midnight! Guess I won't be going to bed anytime soon!

Another good day today :)

Slept in this morning until 11am! I probably would've stayed in bed even later than that except I had a lunch date with Rach! We went into town to Avoca. Its a cute little shop with a restaurant and cafe upstairs (the shop reminds me of anthropology). I got a Chicken caesar wrap and Rach had beef and heineken stew. Both meals were delicious!

The cafe upstairs. Check out Avoca - such a cute place! www.avoca.ie

Ran a couple errands while we were in town and then headed back to the church (I needed to get ready for Junior Youth and she had an appt to get home for by half 4) I had the best time! Love Rachel to bits and it's been forever since we had a girl time :)

This afternoon I was really stressing about the upcoming marathon. The deadline for entering is tomorrow and we are short a runner for one of our teams! Plus we don't have any reserves! So I went to God. I don't know why I didn't before - guess I didn't want to bother him with something so small . . . dumb Julie dumb. Anyways I got to praying something like this; "Ok God, here's the deal. I need one more runner or an idea of how to handle this asap. Please. Thank you. Amen." Within 5 mins I had an idea. Basically we are going to have one team of 5 run in the relay and the other 4 are gonna run in the "Fun Run" which is about 3.2 miles (I volunteer for that one!) - - - I have to discuss it with my runners but it all makes perfect sense! Thank you Jesus!

Tonight's Junior Youth went really well. Ended up with 7 lil' munchkins. Quite a few of them were away on holiday but we had a couple visitors. Talked about the REAL Easter story. I was quite impressed by how much some of them knew!

The Loft Youth was really good too! Today is Rebecca's birthday so I spent part of the night chatting with her. . . Love her so much! Happy Birthday my beautiful girl! x

Also tonight one of our newer girls, Charlie, gave her heart to the Lord! She came with L-j a couple weeks ago and LacyJo has been witnessing to her and we've all been praying for her! God is SO good! Excited to see what God is doing amongst these teens!

I have alot to do in the office tomorrow, on top of having a late night last night, and I should really be heading to bed right now but I cant. After this big pasta meal I'm wide awake! Ha oh man. I'll see if anyone is on Skype or maybe just resort to watching a few episodes of Full House :)
