I went to the party last night. Loads of fun and met some new people who were uber-interesting! The friend throwing the party had said in her e-mail "the indians are cooking for us." I had NO idea what the heck she meant by that but it was certainly intriguing. She really meant it - Indians as in from India cooked the birthday dinner. They made Tandoori chicken and Basmati rice with chicken and shrimp and the absolute BEST spices. Hot and spicy and deeeelish!
I hadn't seen this particular group of friends for about 7 months (we've all been crazy busy) so they had no idea I had lost 66 pounds so they each were exclaiming as I got there. Two didn't even recognize me at first! Had another major ego boost. One of the Indian guys, Mohan, who is about 23 years old and extremely handsome, when introduced to me said, "You are a beautiful woman. I must give you a hug! Wow, you're pretty!" HOLY COW!!! No one had said anything like that to me.....EVER!!!!!!!!! I almost lost my teeth. He was so sweet and spent the rest of the night teaching me Indian dances and giving me all sorts of attention. I asked my friend if she paid him off before I got there since she knows what I have been going through. She claims she didn't. Too funny!
Anyway, as I was arriving at the party last night my son sent me a text to tell me he and his dad were at dinner. I have been spending a lot of time in prayer for my H's salvation and that small quiet voice in my head told me to invite him to come to church with us in the morning. I decided to tell S13 to invite his dad to church but not to tell him I had asked because he probably wouldn't come then. I guess he saw the message on S13's phone though but he said he would like to come with us. He met us at church this morning. He hadn't stepped foot inside a church except at Christmas in over 6 years. He seemed to take a lot out of the service. I hope that God's voice will continue to speak to him and that I can have the opportunity to witness to him in a way that he will hear and absorb.
I'm still thinking about the changing the oil in the car. I may ask him if he would take in Wednesday. It would certainly be a big help to me.
