God Works in Mysterious Ways

This will be my first post that isn't part of my social media class.  It's all me! 😁 Enjoy... Over the weekend, my husband and I attended a wedding.  The bride is the daughter of some dear friends of ours.  In fact, 25 years ago this past month, Chad was the best man at their wedding and Steve was the best man at ours! The wedding was beautiful!  It was so much fun watching the bride and groom and all their friends have such a good time.  But during the ceremony and speeches, people kept saying how those in attendance played an important part in the bride and grooms lives and I would almost cringe.  I haven't seen the bride in person since she was a little girl and we'd never met the groom.  How could we have played an important part in their lives??  What were we even doing at the wedding?  Why were we invited? Over the past few days I've thought about this, and of course I remembered "God Works in Mysterious Ways" ... As I said, Chad and I have been fri

Hello, everyone!  Thank you for all the positive feedback from my first post!  I'm going to try to keep them coming 😉 This week in my online social media class, we are supposed to make a video.  I pushed myself to do the podcast recording, but a video? Not gonna do it!   I've been in a few video announcements at church and I was not a fan.  So, instead of a video, I'll just write another blog post! In the video, we are supposed to share a positive experience and a negative experience we've had with a company.  Wouldn't you know it, I had a negative turned positive - God working in mysterious ways - experience just last month. I know they say appliances aren't made to last anymore, but for some reason they really don't last for my family!  We go through refrigerators, washers, and driers like they are disposable.  So, just last year we purchased  another  washer. This time, we decided to purchase a Maytag, top loading, no agitator, large drum (so big my da

I'm a little excited about trying my hand at blogging!  I'm currently enrolled in a freebie online class for Purdue Alumni through Purdue Global entitled "Living in a Social Media World".  I thought it could be helpful to my job at Abundant Life Community Church .  I'm on the second week and my current assignment is to write a blog. The topic of this blog is supposed to reflect what I listened to in some podcasts from my class discussion assignments .  I also made a podcast which I will NOT share.  (That is NOT my thing!)  My podcast was on a miraculous healing I experienced last year.  One podcast I listened to was on miracles the speaker saw in one year of his life.  Another was about how the speaker met her husband in an unusual way. All of these got me thinking,  "the Lord sure does move in mysterious ways..."  "God Works in Mysterious Ways" was supposed to be the title of my blog post, not the whole kit and caboodle .  But, I don't kno
