Did I just say that, Part II

So the guy at the store says to me, I can help you out to your car with that.

I said Thank you.

He says, Any reason to get out of the store and into sunshine.

I say, well, you could walk it back to my house, I live about 10 minutes from here.

He suddenly gets awkward.

I am wondering why.

I get to the car, we load in my purchases.

He says, I've got the door, shuts it.

I get into my car wondering why he went from chatty to awkward.

Then, I think about it.

Face palm.  Did I just say that?  I totally gave him an invitation to MY HOUSE!!

A Cougar I am not....but you wouldn't know it by what I just said....

This worries me about going back to work.  I need to figure out how to co-ordinate my brain and mouth and fast.  What I had meant to say was, heck, I don't know what I meant to say.  Maybe if I hadn't have driven, I don't know....now I am all awkward.

I am now the youth leader for the Grade 10 girls small group at Colwood.  I have missed teaching and mentoring and I am happy to have this job again.

One of the girls, I think that is in my group, is Victoria.  She is a beauty that I got to have in my room at HistoryMaker.  She told me that her mom was battling cancer, but she was doing ok at that time.  Last night her mom went home to be with the Lord.  I was told Wednesday night she had 2 weeks.

The beautiful thing in all this is this.  Her mom was diagnosed when Victoria was really little.  She battled cancer for 17 years.  She had the opportunity to raise her girls.  They are both beautiful and strong.

I can't imagine the loss they have suffered, but I am so thankful to be placed into their lives at this time. God is always good.  Always.  Even when we can't see it and the circumstances of life are difficult--Mom is pain free, she is dancing before the Lord and he is singing over her.  What a beautiful thought.
