belated resolutions

In early Jan I posted about an All Night of Prayer at my church. After that I made a short list of what I wanted to accomplish within the next few months concerning my growth as a Christian.

1)Read my Bible and pray every day.

2)Go to church regularly.

3)Join a small group, preferably a woman's group.

As of now, number 1 is the only one I'm having trouble with.

On the 27th I wrote about a coffee/small group event that I attended at my church. This get together was a jumping off point for the women of Bethlehem Baptist (all three campuses) to get organized into a book study group, homemaking skills group, or one-on-one mentoring. My first choice was homemaking. It seemed personally non-threatening, and because practically the only thing I know how to do is sew buttons.

Well, there were no groups like that within range of where I live (somewhere I could take the bus if I had to). So I moved on to a book study group. The only one close enough was still almost to church, but I know the neighborhood and the necessary bus routes to get there so I signed up. It meets the second Thursday of every month, except for in the summer.

Now comes the tricky part. Janne (the guy in Sweden) recently got back in touch with me and said that the reason he's been incommunicado is a friend of his died and Janne had to take care of paperwork and real estate and such. Things have quieted down somewhat and he says that he wants to bring me over in late Feb for two weeks, then I'll come back home for a week or so to make sure I don't make the decision to stay there based on emotions alone. So depending on when I go to Sweden I may end up missing the next Thur meeting in March.
