Cluster Meeting

Last night I went to my first Pampered Chef Cluster meeting.  It was very nice to meet all the other ladies in the area (and some from surrounding areas) who do pampered chef.  I had fun meeting them and of course eating some delicous PC foods!  At some points, as I was sitting there I was a bit in a culture shock.  Not because of the ethicities in the room, but b/c of some of the comments flying around the room.  I then realized that I am so deep in church culture that I’d almost forgotten what its like outside of the church.  I’ve worked since college in a church or at least in a christian setting that being in a setting that wouldn’t fit into either of those catagories outright was a little bit different.  It made me a little sad that I’m not “out there,” but in the same right I kept hearing the Holy Spirit say to me, “keep your eyes on me.”  So I think that not only am I going to learn the exciting world of Pampered Chef, but I am also going to learn how to be a bit more relevant to the outside world.  And I won’t be so ‘walled up’ in the church.

Overall the meeting was great!  It was nice to see some people who are actually doing what I’m about to do and listen as they share their stories of success and those of defeat.  I’m VERY excited to get started!  (just in case I haven’t mentioned it before…LOL!)  I think I’m going to host my own first show, my Open House, to get the ball rolling.  Now the next decision…what date?
