Metochai

I went to my first Metochai meeting at the Seminary tonight. This is a monthly fellowship for Seminary student wives. It was wonderful! It was so nice to connect with other women just like me who know what it's like to work full time, have a husband attending school full time, and to have a child who needs your attention full time as well. I can't even begin to tell you how overwhelming all this can get. I'm usually the kind of person who just puts on a strong front and "looks like" I'm handling everything ok but wow, seminary life can be a bit overwhelming.. well, maybe not a "bit", it's more like an avalanche of stress. :) So, to be able to go tonight and talk with other seminary wives did me a world of good.

We also had a great time of praise and worship and a special speaker came to speak as well. It's nice to get away and just be refreshed and encouraged. And, that's exactly what I got tonight.
