The last couple of days have been pretty fun. I have gotten a kick out of telling people about the Army thing, and seeing their reactions. Other than my family, I haven’t really told too many people, but it had already gotten around church a little. It seems that the main consensus is that Chris and I can go wherever we want to go, but we have to leave the kids behind. The fact that any moving away is at least five years from now allows me to be strictly excited, right now, because I don’t have to deal with leaving the only place I’ve ever lived. I’m just so excited. I’m excited about the direction the Lord is leading our lives in, and I’m excited about all of the things we’ll get to do, people we’ll get to meet, and places we’ll get to see.
The Children’s Choir sang again last night. Most of them did very well. Pastor Pallotta let them sing very early in the service, because, last time, some of the younger ones were falling asleep before it was time for them to sing. Kyra was in a mood last night, and did more standing there than actually singing. Elijah….well, let’s just say that Elijah keeps me humble. Aside from him sitting down, laying on the altar bench, and doing a power squat and me having to go get him from the stage..other than that…he did great.
Pastor Pallotta has been preaching a great series on Sunday mornings on The Bread of Life. You can hear some of them here on our church website. Chris hasn’t added the latest messages, yet. They are well worth your time to listen. Anyway, there have been several people visiting our church lately. Yesterday, my cousin, Jeff, whom we have been praying for for a very long time came to church. He came back last night, and got his life right with the Lord. It was so encouraging on so many levels. It was so great to see Jeff come back to the Lord. It was awesome to see God answer your prayers. It was encouraging for all of us who have family members who have either never been saved or have been away from God, because we were reminded once again to not give up. It was a great day.
And so, it’s Monday again. Wasn’t it just Monday, though? Time goes by so fast. A little too fast, if you ask me.
