Two very awesome things have happened in March in the Adams family and I wanted to share them with you.
First, I began leading a group through my Bible study, From the Trash Pile to the Treasure Chest: Creating a Godly Legacy. This is my first time to take an IRL (in real life) group through the study and I am beyond excited and thrilled. The study was announced at my church, on Facebook, in the local paper and here at The Point. I expected to have a small group of ladies to take through the study. Well, God had other very amazing plans.
We met for our first class on March 17th and there was the most beautiful array of souls present that I could have imagined. We have men and women, old and young, new Christians and mature Christians, Bible study newbies and Bible study veterans. About half are not even members of my church, which thrills me no end!!! I have several members of our local Celebrate Recovery group in the class. Flitter, my own mother is attending, as well as two of my best friends. I have three pastor’s wives, two physicians, a nurse or two, a former Jehovah’s Witness, three Barbaras, three Cindys and two Colleens. There is one teen, a few 20 somethings, some 30 somethings, several like me who fall into the 40-50 something crowd and many precious senior adults.
My pastor appeared at the door Thursday evening and offered to lead my group if I would go lead the Deacon’s meeting. I declined his offer. We had way more fun in Bible study than the deacons had in their meeting. I kid you not, these people are SERIOUS about leaving a godly legacy. Many confessed on the first night that they had never considered their legacy. Both the men and women are participating in the discussions and it is just blessing my socks off.
Now, for the second very fun thing that has happened in March. My precious husband, Greg, will turn the big five-o in April and I set my mind to throwing him a SURPRISE birthday party. He is the hardest person in the world to surprise because…well, just because. But, with the help of a few friends, I DID SURPRISE HIM!!!
Dear friends of ours let me use their bunkhouse for the party which made it much easier to pull off since I was not preparing and setting up at home. Charlie came in from spring break to be here for the party, but his mind was elsewhere (actually it was back in Alabama with a certain young lady named Sarah).
So, I thought I’d share a few pics from the party.

Next week, I am speaking at two different events. Thursday the 31st I will be speaking at a luncheon at North Metro FBC in Lawrenceville, GA. Then next Friday and Saturday, I will be at Lake Guntersville State Park speaking at a retreat for ladies from Mountain Chapel Methodist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. It will be a busy, but exciting way to end up a very good month.
