It's been over a month since I've written anything...my Costa Rica visit seems like a long time ago now! :) What's been going on since then...

Lots with Les Femmes- our first group ended on March 30th. It was a truly incredible time, and so much came with the closing of the group. The community and environment created within the six weeks was really restorative and encouraging for many of the women. A lot felt empowered and strengthened in their uniqueness, many felt a push towards growth and the next step in their lives, others felt a deep relationship with Christ for the first time. It was the end of the group but a beginning in many ways for most all of us. I think it's safe to say we are all changed from those weeks....

Les Femmes is continuing to grow; our second group is midway through and a third is starting in a couple weeks. We've formed a leadership team to help Heather and I with all the millions of details that seem to be coming up. It's all fun stuff-but the further we go into this the more we find to do, and we need some help! So our team consists of a couple of the women from our first group who have knowledge of tech stuff as well as great vision casting. The web site is getting very close to being up online and many many MANY ideas are being discussed for the future. Heather and I continue to be overwhelmed with how this is all coming together and the responses and interest we're seeing. And I love being a part of this more and more all the time.

I just got back from a Orlando/Key West/Miami trip with the fam. It was a very fun, relaxing, sunny, beautiful vacation. Playing at Disney World, wearing flip flops and sunglasses everyday, sitting at the beach with a book, and walking the streets of a very intriguing and colorful town (Key West) is a summation of what the week consisted. I was reminded, once again, why I do not prefer sleeping in the same bed as my brother on vacations. In Orlando we each had our own bed (thank goodness) and in the morning Trevor found himself lying on a bare mattress. His pillow, sheet, comforter, AND fitted sheet were all on the floor. He has no memory of doing this. I pity the wife who will one day share his bed.

I've been going to a different church recently-Bridgeway Christian Church. It's in Rocklin, it's smaller than what I've been used to, and they have an awesome college aged group. That's kind of my new venture right now, just another transition going on in my life. Ah, the winds of change. Been happening a lot lately. :) Good stuff though.
