Generosity

WOW! I am not sure even where to begin. Today was one of those days at church that will be forever stamped on my life. I knew today was coming. I was so excited to experience it. But to watch everyone's face as it happened was priceless.
Today was the 1st time I have ever been to church and "they" gave me money. In fact "they" gave everyone money. Read about it HERE subscribe to the blog and keep up as this movement of generosity forever impacts our community.

AHHHHHHHH!

I have been on BLOG SILENCE! Because there is too much in my brain. I am waiting until it all comes together and then it will come spilling over and out.
I will update soon.

Lot o love!

Distinct Pleasure

As many of you know we were in Indiana this past weekend. The weekend started a little crazy because we missed a connecting flight in Cincinnati, the Weather was insanely cold, and a dead car battery. But minus those things, the weekend was perfect!
I could go on and on about our experience this weekend, but I won't. I will just tell you of the BEST part of my weekend. I had the rare distinct pleasure of sitting and watching my wonderful hubby. It is not very often that I get to sit in the distance and enjoy. Sunday morning I sat through 3 services while hubby lead worship. With each service I intentionally changed seats. (I don't know why.....maybe it is just my psychotic nature. I wanted to keep him guessing where I would sit. :-O)
The cool part was watching him share his heart through music. 3x. and the even cooler part was having him lead me in worship.
With ministry, we never know whats next. We never know what to expect or anticipate. There have been many highs and many lows, but the true pleasure is having a husband to walk with.

Prayer please?

Today is my first day of vacation. It is such a relief to be off work for a little bit. Tomorrow we are leaving to head out to Indiana. We will be visiting a church that is potentially calling my husband to be on staff. It will be a busy and exciting weekend. We will be taking 2 of the 4 kiddos. We figured that the Big girls would add the most to our trip. We value their opinion and are really looking forward to some alone time with them.
I must confess that I am having a hard time with leaving the little ones. They have both been acting out a little, throwing fits, and then melting into a puddle of tears, this week. I know it is because they know that we are leaving. Both have commented about wanting to go and about how sad they are. I think that this time is different because they won't have their 2nd set of parents (aka: Big sisters) here to comfort them.

Please be in prayer for our family over the next week. Pray for safe travel, peace about decisions that must be made, and comfort for the kiddos. (and for me missing them)

PS I will update when we get back (and maybe twitter a little :-)

I can't blog better than this....

Why is everyone hungry for more?
"More,More" they say. "More, More."
I have God's more-than-enough,
More joy in one ordinary day
Than they get in all their shopping sprees.
At day's end I am ready for sound sleep,
For You, God, have put my life back together.
