The way we were

When I first moved to Denton in May, I began attending a home group of girls through what is now my church, The Village Church. The group swelled in size (if we'd all come on the same night, there would've been around 30 of us) and there was a wide age range (19-28), including college & young professionals, that nebulous modern term for those of us who have graduated but it still seems that society doesn't want to call us "adults."

Anyway, it was decided that the group needed to split so I approached the leader about starting one just for the post-college girls. She agreed, and in mid-October, I found myself leading a home group of about six.

Well, as most of you know, Denton is a "college town" and thus, all the home groups for single women were college. Our group exploded! By mid-December, there were 19 who had either become members or visited regularly. We needed to split again.

Bianca was eager to lead and I was eager to let her. So our Christmas party on December 18th was the last time we were all together.

The "new" groups met last Monday and it's obvious God's hand was in the timing. There would have been 26 girls if we'd met as one group! Please pray for Bianca as she starts leading this new group.

On a totally unrelated subject, we are having our second major freeze/ice storm/maybe snow this weekend. No snow yet, but Wilbert and I did slide down the stairs yesterday going out for his walk. His long body wound around the side of the stairs...pretty funny, I've got to say.

Here's a pic of us from the last time:
