Today we went to church, and sometimes I feel so alone while in the midst of so many people. Some of the same people as always just say, "Hi Karen, how are you?" And one person in particular said that today, and I almost just laughed, thinking, "If you only knew." Do they know that some days I can hardly make it through the day, and all of the things our family is going through right now? But do they really know? I doubt it.
But today was the potluck that I initiated for our Foundations class. And it was great! Everyone liked it. It went very smoothly and there was tons of fabulous food!! So glad I listened to God instead of wallowing in self-pity that I didn't go to a small church where they still had potlucks :) haha... what a concept.
I made those amazing Salted Carmel Butter Bars, that Paula made last week. Also, barbecued meatballs, a salad and a yummy cheesy cauliflower casserole.
Also, during the service we sang a song that really resonated with me this morning, given my feeling like no one really was listening to how I am, or cared. Here are the words:
He Knows My Name - Tommy Walker
I have a Maker
He formed my heart
Before even time began
My life was in his hands
I have a Father
He calls me His own
He'll never leave me
No matter where I go
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And He hears me when I call
Now, I am going to try to post a mosaic I made on flickr today. Really this is just an experiment. One of my favorite bloggers does this a lot, and it is so fun to look at what she finds, so here is my attempt.
