Katy’s Weblog
What did you do today, mom?
I made the decision to postpone OWL and sent an email to parents to explain why.
I read and listened to sermons to prepare for a talk on Biblical womanhood.
I reviewed a book that I read to prepare to train children ministry leaders.
I planned and sent an email to the Sunday disciplers.

God gave me the words and wisdom to talk to a disgruntle dad. At the end, he graciously said: I understand now that you explained it.
His response was better than expected. It’s all God’s work.
However, on Friday, another disgruntle dad was not as understanding. I was not the one talking to…

I don’t remember that my husband and I have ever gone to Disneyland just the two of us. We did yesterday, because his office offered free tickets as a reward for a good year.
My husband doesn’t love Disneyland. The times I’ve gone is with my girls. So as I expected, he was ready…
I’ve spent a lot of time in the last two days preparing for a 15 minute lesson for Awana.
The topic is Jesus the sacrifice. It can be taught very simply=Jesus died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins.
But every child has heard it in the same way. I think they’ve tuned…
I borrowed this book from Aaron based on his review.
It took a while for me to read through this book. I actually learned a lot, in fact, gained a few life-changing insights. But it was just too heavy to face all my failings of these impossible commands, and having to confess my sins throughout the reading. I appreciate Christ and my salvation more as I see the high standards expected of us. Christ met all these impossible commands, and his righteousness is imputed to me. That’s impossible grace.
I think I have the best job in the world. The pay is ok, the health benefits are great though, and we have a great staff.
I don’t know if I spoke out of line today at staff meeting. I process externally, and just say what I think. HL is the same, so if we…
I would simply go day to day without thinking if not for this blog that forces me to reflect. I’m sitting here struggling to reflect on yesterday!

I took time to talk to people, but it’s always in a hurry. I talked to my usual people at the children’s area, but I wanted…
We missed going to this Michelin-star restaurant when my cousins were in town in May last year. (We were in Hawaii, not complaining).
Our kids took us there today to celebrate January birthdays. Good times with granddaughters, including changing diapers.
Afterwards we went to Bopomofo, first time. I’m not their target market. I like boba…
I’ve said before that I hate getting old. In God’s plan and in his grace, he’s using the one person I struggle with to serve as an example of a person who models aging well.
To age well is to not complain – not complain about aches and pains, and about what could’ve been or could be better, not complain about how things were different and how young people do things wrong.
In office devo today, PT asked, “Where were you 10 years ago? 20 years ago? 30 years ago?”
He remembered he was in Israel at this exact time 10 years ago.
I don’t remember where I was 10 years ago. I don’t remember what was happening in my life then. I don’t remember the year my daughter or son got married. I remember when I got married.
