We've been meeting with our Community Life Group on Wednesdays for about 2 1/2 years now.
Thanks Joel and Kendall for inviting us "outsiders" in! We're glad we're not "outsiders" anymore!
We have 5 couples in our group, plus us...and we have LOVED getting to know them all.
Each couple takes turns hosting at their house...one of the best parts is the food!
A few weeks ago, it was our turn. We're doing a study on a marriage book called Men are Like Waffles, Women are Like Spaghetti, by Bill and Pam Farrell. So we thought spaghetti was a good choice for dinner.
I took these pictures because I had never made or SEEN this much spaghetti (the picture doesn't even do justice to the massive amount of noodles that were in this pan) Dave was very concerned we wouldn't have enough noodles. Whenever I make spaghetti for the family, we always have more meat sauce than noodles. So he did not want this to happen when hosting other people.
I thought I had enough in the pan. He kept saying "add more, add more, it's better to have too many than not enough".
You know how it's just so hard to tell how much spaghetti you're really going to have in the end? Well...we had plenty...and LOTS and LOTS of noodles left over...I mean LOTS.
It was definitely one of those "I told you so" moments...but I didn't say that. I was nice and kept quiet.
We are LOVING this book! I highly recommend it to any group or couple. You will have so many of those "AH HA!" moments....it has helped us learn to understand each other and how God made us so different.
We are so thankful for each of the couples in our group, the time we have together and the time we've been able to devote to growing, individually, as a couple, and as a group.
