Life Group @ Crossroads Jan 2018;)


 WOW!! It has been two years since I have written on my blog!!!! All is good...still living with mom,  still in my old bedroom with the pretty flowered wallpaper and my white Princess furniture. View of Pine trees. My daddy planted pine trees for each of us kids. My tree is right outside my window. It is the smallest tree. Phil's tree is the biggest by the road. He is my protector...Perry is next & then Paul's. Perry's tree has it's arms all around my tree. He has been my rock these past few years, Cant see Paul's tree from my window....he is sneaky, haha...I have to go out to see his tree which is closest  to me....he is always holding me up in prayer. People used to think we were twins. In our adult lives..Paul & his family & my family have done tons of fun things together when they lived in Colorado Springs. Lots of ski trips, Christmases,  Bronco games & in Redding boating & hiking with us. They live in California now,  so I see them from time to time, which has been nice. And we were all together with nieces & nephews & Grandma Helen...except my kids of course...on Christmas Eve...Schaefer tradition...lots of fun! More added now that 3 kids are married:)

So since I've been home, I have been attending Crossroads Church which is a few blocks from mom's house. I knew Pam growing up as her sister Susan Deegan was my best friend in my neighborhood and continued to be best friends our adult lives. Chuck went to our First Baptist Church on Main St when his grandma would drag him there! haha he mentioned something like that last Sunday Sermon. So I feel comfortable there...I LOVE the Worship time! I really need to go to a church body that loves the LORD and worships Him. Chuck wants us all to be connected to a life group; which is totally out of my comfort zone. Then all of last year 2017 I felt God prompting me to join one. So when we started to "Go Boldly!" we were challenged to do something to come out of our comfort zone and step forward...on this new year in 2018. So I finally submitted to God and put my slip in for a group to join. I put 55 and older mixed group. So I got a call from Dan & Erica whom are not in their fifties,,,to join their group. I know that was designed by God, that that is where He wants me. I knew something was going to happen there...and it has.....God is so good!  And they have all become friends in such a short time..so more on this later.....hopefully sooner than two years from now!!!;)

Oh we are in the book of Revelation for six months, half way through and in my life group we are studying it together.
