March...March....March.....


It's march and the snow is melting...PRAISE GOD, I can see sidewalks and the mountains well.....they're looking browner and browner everyday. It got up to the 50's this week but still very chilly at night. I was reminded again of what a small town I live in...almost everything closes at 7pm except Walmart...Lord help me.
Our dance for Heather’s Dance company is coming together – discovering muscles I didn’t know existed and learning moves very outside of my box, but I can’t wait to see when it all comes together. It's gonna' be good. Again what an honor & privilege to take part in two of my passions – Dancing and social justice (in this case brining awareness and Fundraising for human trafficking to be specific). Next week is our Spring Break up here so the studio is closed but our production will still have rehearsal. Now if only I had something to do up here in these chilly hills. :(
It's been an interesting month - so often I've thought I was in the position to be of help to others while all along, God was teaching me a lesson about myself. Kind of felt like I got hit by a 2 by 4...but hey God is good and it only makes me better...right? I think I've had a few episodes of defaulting to my "doing" and missing the bigger picture...but thank God for grace. Oh how I love being in the winepress...or shall I thank God for the grace he's given me to endure it. It's interesting how the things that make us uncomfortable or we don't like are the very things God wants us to face & deal with but the hardest part is actually facing & walking through them. As I'm learning things can only get better once you face them, b/c once you face them no longer can fear keep you from them.
I want to thank those of you who have sent in support. What an answer to prayer and a blessing you have been. I recently have some additional expenses I’m facing –possible oil leak (need inspection & repair), a new timing belt & my computer is also starting to wear down and I fear it quitting on me soon (and there is no computer at the house). If you would like to contribute towards one of the following expenses please email me or send donations to Safe Harbor Church PO Box 1214, Tusin, Ca 92781.
Looking forward to spring and watching my areas of growth unfold before me.

Blessings,
Jennie
