First Meeting

So I went to my first staff meeting today on base.  I couldn't hear all of it and I left feeling alone and frustrated because there were no other children and I had to keep going back and occupying Selah.  I felt invisible and prayed in my car about it.  As soon as I was done praying and crying, someone walked right up to my car and asked me about me and starting the kids classes tomorrow.  God is so good.  We will start the introductory lessons for us new people on Wednesdays, happy about that.  And, tonight there is worship and gathering, looking forward to that too.  And, super stoked because there is a staff member here who teaches piano!!  $7 a lesson!  Not sure how I will pay for it but I have been wanting lessons for over a year and thats like almost free!

There is also free Zumba classes at a local church and I am excited about trying that out as well.  It's like salsa dancing/exercise.  Should be fun.  I'm not sure I am ready to start teaching Turbo Kick just yet since I havent even memorized completely even one round.  I've only been certified a few weeks.  We shall see.

I did find a pretty cool congregation.  It's only 15 minutes away and the 3 children that were there this past Saturday totally latched on to Selah and her to them.  They are 6,5 and 3 and very fun and smart.  It's pretty orthodox where even the boys where tzittzits (the long tassles) but it doesn't seem legalistic at all.  We got to sit in on a Midrash (commentary) with a Rabbi which was VERY interesting.  There is much to learn.  I had a really cool conversation about Torah (the Bible) and Yeshua (Jesus) today and I learned there is a 24hr radio station for Hebrew roots and Christianity.  People are more open to Messianic things here, and more familiar. 

I got invited to a Friday night dinner with the woman who has the 3 children from congregation so I am looking forward to that, yay for not having to cook!  Of course, I dont have to cook because there are 3 meals a day here on base, lol.  Still...

I do miss my Adat home congregation and the dancing.  I miss the sun too, lol.  More to come after service tonight :-)
