Give yourself a break... this will be a season of learning (successes & failures) but even your failures will be used by Jesus to bless someone. <BR/><BR/>I mean, haven't you been blessed by someone else's failures? I know I have...@pril Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529620285610826914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269364748273962182.post-74732819819568229492008-03-27T13:31:00.000-04:002008-03-27T13:31:00.000-04:00I have done the babbling thing many times and know...I have done the babbling thing many times and know how it feels, but most people won't think anything more about it once they left that meeting, I'm sure.<BR/><BR/>An idea (not mine, came from a training of the PA Office of Dispute Resolution): Instead of throwing out ideas of how to get volunteers or whatever the task is, share your dreams and concerns and let the suggestions flow from that.<BR/><BR/>The example given was of a mom telling the school her daughter needed speech therapy twice a week and the school saying it wasn't warranted. They were stuck until the mom was able to express what her concerns were about her daughter's communication issues and what her dreams were for her daughter in terms of participating in class and making friends. Then the team could figure out how to achieve those goals instead of arguing about getting a particular service.<BR/><BR/>(Sorry, this got pretty long!)Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681523260739807543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269364748273962182.post-9409198080443986232008-03-26T10:33:00.000-04:002008-03-26T10:33:00.000-04:00So, when Paul went out on his missionary journeys ...So, when Paul went out on his missionary journeys he was stoned, yelled at, beaten with rods and sometimes left for dead. However, he did not concider these meetings failures, as I would if I were stoned when I opened my mouth. He knew that where he went was divinely orchestrated nomatter what happened. Even if things do not feel like a success, if you beleive that this is where God has you, then it is a success. Hang in there. You are a woman who walks with authority and favor. No amount of awkward silences can take that away, blessed Melissa. :)Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10501617514638623172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269364748273962182.post-45526856963793391632008-03-26T09:05:00.000-04:002008-03-26T09:05:00.000-04:00I'm so impresssed that you would even give thought...I'm so impresssed that you would even give thought to leading a group like that - I might be hardened by recent events at our own PTO's here - tough crowd.<BR/><BR/>But I have absolutely no doubt that you can do it - you are quite capable and quite inspiring. Don't be ashamed or fearful of being rejected - you are accepted in the Beloved. Rather, let your true self keep shining thru and they will learn from you that they too can be accepted in the Beloved.<BR/><BR/>The passion of your love for Jesus and for serving Him is just what that crowd needs, they just don't know it yet!The Gang's Momma!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12478478224173323982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269364748273962182.post-35178099924688802922008-03-26T08:30:00.000-04:002008-03-26T08:30:00.000-04:00Hey, Sweetie,I know how uncomfortable it is to hav...Hey, Sweetie,<BR/><BR/>I know how uncomfortable it is to have something in your heart that you just can't express. For me, it's easier to type out rather than speak out. I definitely can relate.<BR/><BR/>As far as the president thing. You have so much too offer...positive attitude, God's fire and down to earth intelligence. Don't allow the evil one to play mind games with you!! <BR/><BR/>Also, remember, that helpless feeling when standing in front of a group and feeling like you are not being coherent is a BLESSING!!! It reminds us of our weakness and then as we run to Jesus His strength is made manifest. Bless you!!!! :)Beautiful Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930340960877351759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269364748273962182.post-28423103516604083652008-03-26T06:57:00.000-04:002008-03-26T06:57:00.000-04:00I just saw your poll re: mineral make-up.

It is a nice light make-up. My only problem with it is if you put too much on, it would show your fine lines/wrinkles and pore size. Not really what you want to show on your face. But it does give you a nice even tone.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16412619276464018521noreply@blogger.com
