Bunco @ IHC

BUNCO!
For those of you who know me,  you know how much I just love Bunco! Well after toooo long a time I have finally rejoined the Women's Special Events team at church. Our newest event.... BUNCO! What a great way to rekindle a relationship. It's been a long path to recovery and I am now fully my healed self. Lots of positive changes for me. ^. .^ and I'm loving it! I just enjoy this ministry team and I am very happy to once again to be giving in this way.  It feels good to be using my gifts in the ways that both make me happy and brings glory to God. Plus there are so many positive and uplifting souls on our team!

Well the night was filled, and I don't mean that in a small way, it was truly filled with all sorts of friends from every facet of my life. I couldn't be happier than being surrounded by these amazing women! We played 3 rounds of Bunco, ate lots of goodies from candy to these super yummy cupcakes and had a blast just mingling and chatting with everyone.

Before I knew it and before I was even ready for the night came to an end, it did. After helping with the clean up as typical I ended up in the parking lot chatting the night away with a few friends. I love those conversations. Positive connections are really the balm of life.

Last night I left church parking lot absolutely content. Content in knowing I am now healed from my previous hurts and back on track in my ministries. It seems like so very long ago that I stepped down from all my ministries and abandoned my small group. I have made some adjustments and changes in my life. Choosing positive reinforcement in my connections and taking it one day at a time. As in the concept learned in the movie with actor Bill Murray "What About Bob?" I healed with "Baby Steps" Baby step church. Baby step small group. Baby step my ministries. It took some time and changes but I'm back!

See ya round like a donut!, SoCal Marisa
