Yep - I finally joined the blogging world. A few people asked...I even created one earlier completely by accident (one that I can no longer find)! But, this one is on purpose.
I could go back and try and fill in a bunch of blanks, but I'll simply start with the last two weekends.
LAST weekend, we had a surprise 50th birthday party for Dennis (50???wow!!!). It was incredible! 75-80 people...his son (and CUTIE girlfriend) came from Florida...his 2 best Marine buds came from New York and Chicago...his mom and sister were there from Florida...my folks came...he has several friends from this area show up. Plus all the incredibel people fromt the church who love him. Several shared words of love (and funny stuff) - including PK, PC, Michael, Mark, Thelma, Mom & Chris. Good stuff! :-)
THIS weekend - Friday - Dennis and I connected with couple we have been TRYING to get with for a YEAR! It was refreshing to get a different perspective on things. These have been married for 9 years - married in our church - and he has been around for at least 15. And yet, we heard the perspective of two people who love it but don't work "in" it...and it was encouraging to hear the impact our house has - and to hear more about what we are doing "right" and how much GOD is in it. Thanks for that...what a beautiful thing to breath in!
Saturday, our church served at Habitat for Humanity and ABCCM. Some from the last crew were there - and some new people. I love that. I love how God seems to put teams together for whatever thing HE wants to accomplish...even in a single day.
After church yesterday, we had lunch with another great couple. We sat and talked about life and what got us all to where we are. We learned from them about "practically" helping people...and how to tell the difference in those who want it and those who don't. It was great hearing Dennis share his heart concerning helping people...and realizing it's more of a calling on his life than even he realizes! :-)
And last but not least...yesterday...Sunday morning...worship was breathTAKING for me. I loved being "drowned out" by the congregation! I loved being able to take the mic away from my mouth and be led into worship by THEM! It was beautiful...and to me, THAT is a taste of what HEAVEN will be like...loud, extravagant, unleashed worship of the King of Kings!
God is good...life is amazing...
