Hi, my name is Sara, and I'm a stalker.

I did get a chance to stop by the Tingle family's benefit at Austin's Coffee and Film. The youth rally ended earlier than I thought, so Hubby and I shuffled a few teens in with us. I don't think the teens really knew what to expect. I explained there would be live music in a coffee shop, but I don't think any of them had ever hung out at a coffee shop before.

It was packed, but we found a place to sit all the way in the back. We couldn't hear the music that well, but we did talk to some interesting people, well really just one. Hubby and I kept saying "Thanks Dan!" to each other on the way home.

I did get a chance to chat with Megan for a bit, and I admit that it felt a tad stalker-ish. Especially since I knew what she looked like, but I don't think she knew what I looked like. Maybe I should change my picture to something a little clearer.

At any rate, Hubby and I had fun, and now have a new inside joke. We did get some quality bonding time with our core group of teens, too. The Tingles have been added to my list of missionaries to pray for as well.

Music for Missions

I happened to stumble across a discussion thread on Ravelry that was promoting a live show at Austin's Coffee and Film in Winter Park on Friday. It sounds like a great time and a great cause.

The Tingle family (Wayne, Megan, Alison and Emily) are trying to raise money for a missions training trip to Mexico. Their eventual goal is to make it to Nicaragua under LifeLink International.

I have to admit, I don't really know these people, but I do know that a couple of our church's missionary families have had to leave the missions field because of finances. Anyone who is willing to follow God's command even in this tight economic state deserves what little I can do.

Hubby and I won't be able to attend because we have a youth group function already planned, but I hope that there will be a few more people to take our place.

Here's all the information-
Austin’s Coffee & Film

929 West Fairbanks Ave
Winter Park, FL 32789

Show starts at 9PM

The Pow Wow, Evangelin, Chris Hall will be performing. There is no cover, but donations will be accepted for their trip.
