My weekend
I had a crazy Saturday. Conner had a Basketball game at 8:00am. We had play rehearsal with the kids at 9:00am in Milan. Haylie had a Basketball game at 11:00am. She did awesome. This is her first year playing and she's getting better each game. (I took pictures of Conner, but none of them turned out)
Then we went to my nephew Thomas' 1 year old birthday party in Flint. Isn't he cute? It was great seeing all my cousins. They all have babies now, so it was fun seeing their kids and catching up. We were only able to stay a couple hourse before we drove all the way back to Belleville were my cousin Lauren had a Christmas play.
I know the picture stinks, but it was the best one I took. The lighting stunk and I HATE my camera. The play was wonderful as usual. Belleville COG always puts on great kids plays and it didn't disappoint. I will be honest and admit I wasn't looking forward to going. I think this is the 3rd time I've been back to visit them since I left over 2 years ago. I don't have anything against the church or people it's just that I feel weird going back. I guess I fear the questions about what I'm doing with my life now. Not that I have any regrets or anything. Actually it's just the opposite. Life is great, I've never been happier and I know I'm where God wants me to be. It's just that I feel in someway my answers will disappoint them and I hate letting people down. The question that haunts me, "Do I live up to the image of the person they have of me in their mind". I know that's so stupid...self-centered...pathetic...broken. I'm sure I'm the only one that thinks that way.
Anyway...the night went well, it wasn't too weird. I talked with everyone I knew, in fact my wife had to drag me out of there. I've moved on (still moving on), they've moved on. It was nice seeing how people and things have changed. Change is definitely good. I appreciate everything they did for me and the time I spent there. I hope they feel the same about me. I think they do.
Sunday was much more laid back. We had a Christmas play at our church which I enjoyed. It was awesome seeing how everyone pulled together and pulled it off. Plays take a lot of hard work. Had an awesome lunch at Los Tres Amigos. Then rested at home all day. I wish I had one more day off, I'm not ready to go back to work tomorrow. It's 8:00pm and I'm debating about what to do... play Xbox, watch a movie or go to bed? Don't know what I want to do. I'm going to watch a movie.

sounds like a busy weekend - and as for what people think- sounds like from what we know, you guys have been nothing but obedient to god - can't get much better than that!
Yes, I completely agree with you. And I know I shouldn't care what people think about me and I shouldn't worry about trying to live up to other peoples expectations. Especially when I'm happy, content and in God's will. But in my heart, I'm a people pleaser that cares way too much what people think about me. (One of my major flaws). Oh well, no ones perfect.
