I laughed til I nearly fell off my chair

This last Thursday, we had a fabulous time. It was not exactly "usual" even for us, but it was a blast. We laughed over the craziest and sillest things, but mostly we enjoyed being with a group of people who actually care about us with no agenda and enjoyed the peace and comfort of that kind of atmosphere.

We spent time noticing how things have been going in our preparations for Community Outreach 2010, which will be 4/2 at Howarth Center - 18th and Union St's Lafayette. Of special interest this time was how Melissa, who almost never goes to Kmart, stopped in for a quick peak at their shoes and found that they had marked down hundreds of fabulous shoes at 1/2 of the usual clearance price - she got hundreds of shoes to put on the feet of people in our town that don't have good new shoes to wear! Plus, the sales people everywhere we go are falling over themselves to help us even if all they can do is ring the shoes up (and no they are not on comission) so that they can be a part of something so cool! One of them even wants to start coming and being a part of a group of people that can love people like that! What's amazing is that all those shoes at Kmart were just marked to that low price that morning - they would have never lasted through the weekend and Melissa & Heather and Jordan just happened to stop in at that time - just when the time was perfect - truth is God works things out just the right way!

We spent so much time celebrating and laughing and enjoying noticing how God is working everything out that we didn't have much time to do anything else - but we didn't really miss it!

Hope to see you coming up soon at our Shoe Organization Party at Howarth Center garages, 6PM next Wed, or at More than more, 6:45-8:00PM, next Thursday, 4/1 at McAllister Recreation Center - 20th and Schuyler Ave, Lafayette!
