Either this is a sign of Shane and I being so connected that we know each other’s thoughts, or it is a sign that we don’t communicate. He just stole my topic for today’s blog entry. Now I have no idea what to write about.

I guess I’ll start rambling until I come up with something…

Looking at our blog today I was just struck by the difference in our writing styles. Shane loves words. There’s nothing wrong with being a word nerd. He loves to talk about books and theology while I am a relationship and feelings kind of gal. My blogs aren’t as long as his (don’t worry, that will change) and they definately don’t sound as scholarly. Maybe it is just my need to be casual and relational.

I guess our blogs demonstrate how we compliment each other. We do flip back and forth between who’s relational and who’s the scholarly type. In fact when one of us is having an off day the other is generally optimistic and calm. It never fails. So, our differences compliment each other as you’ll see over time.

As Shane mentioned we are doing Awana. Right now I am doing the budgeting for that. I’ve been going through the catalogue trying to piece together what startup materials we’ll need and estimate what our costs will be for the year. I’m used to budgeting for our personal finances but when it comes to church money, I’m feeling my anxiety level rising. I want to be absolutely sure that I am ordering what we need when I’m not 100% sure what we need. Thank goodness Awana has missionaries who we can consult with and help us prioritize our supplies.

This Thursday we will be meeting with our Awana team for the first time, clarifying roles and getting them excited about what the Fall will look like. I am hoping I’ll be able to bake some tasty treats for our leaders. Treats might be a good incentive for them to stick around…
