Lots of interesting stuff happening. Not sure what God's up to, but he seems to be asking me to take a lot of steps of faith lately...

Stephen and I got asked to join the Marriage Ministry Team of our church this week. That'd be a big step of faith for me. Joining any kind of group or team makes me really nervous; getting involved deeper into a church makes me nervous. It means meeting expectations, and I don't know what kind of expectations the church as a whole has for the Marriage Ministry. I know what the team's expectations are for us, and that's very livable... But it would mean that my name would be known to the Leadership Team of the church, and also the church as a whole... Yeah, that definitely makes me nervous. A large body of people that I do not know viewing me as part of the leadership body of the church... EEK!

So we're praying and thinking about it for a week. EEK! There's a LOT of good things about it, so I think we'll eventually say yes, but I'm just nervous and I don't like to go into things a nervous wreck. I usually screw things up that way. :/

The other thing is kind of also connected to the marriage ministry team, actually, haha... We met up with them in a get-to-know-you kind of meeting yesterday, and as I was telling Tina, one of the members, about how I want to be a florist and stuff, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Would you do a wedding??"

Would I what??

Apparently she has a friend, or maybe a semi-distant family member, who just got engaged, and they're getting married in November, and they have, like, no money, so they're trying to get married as cheaply as possible. Tina asked me if I'd be willing to do that. I just sent her an e-mail today telling her she could pass on my information to the bride.

So yeah... Definite steps of faith coming up... Nervousness and some excitement too... EEK!
