Joshua is 10 months old now, I can't believe it!
Sorry, I know that it has been a while since I have posted anything. Its been rather busy around here lately. Friday and Saturday were both used up preparing for our big day on Sunday. It was our churches first day to have 3 services! Yes, I said 3 services! Our church is still meeting in a community centre, and the Lord has been blessing greatly! We are running out of room on Sunday mornings (this is obviously a good problem to have). Because of the price of property out here our church is still in the saving the building fund mode. We would love to have our own building and property, but the Lord has not opened that door as of yet, but He did open the door for us to be able to have an early service at 8:45am. Praise the Lord our first Sunday went pretty smoothly! This service will allow us to grow more as the Lord sends people our way! Did we attend it, Yes! Our, well my day started at 5:30am on Sunday! Oh I love mornings :) actually I really don't mind getting up early...as soon as the alarm goes off, I am able to get up, how, well I believe it the Lord's strength :)!!! So I didn't have to get up at 3:00am I started getting things ready on Friday and Saturday. We left our house at 7:20am to get to the church early so Nathan could help set everything up for the day. Thanks to Pastor Turner, all the early birds were blessed with a nice hot cup of Starbucks coffee...hhhmmmmmm! :) and Joshua got to go to church in his jammies:) everyone loved that! I can't really do anything for the set-up, so I figured it would be the best time to feed and change Joshua! That way he didn't have to get up to early.
I thank the Lord for the strength He gave to us on Sunday. It was a full day! We had an 8:45 service, then Sunday School at 10:00 and then our regular 11:00 service. At 1:30 we went to the nursing home we go to, and then we were invited to join the seniors of our church at ABC restaurant for a delightful, relaxing lunch! I had a sirloin, strawberry salad! YYYYUUUMMMYYY! At this point Joshua was ready for his 2nd nap of the day! So instead of going home and moving him back and forth from the van to his bed so many times we just let him sleep in the van while Nathan went into the office to do some work for choir. Then at my request, we went to Timmies :) and then we made our way back to church for choir practice! Choir practice is always a highlight of my Sunday's. It is a joy to see how our choir has improved over the last little while. They are so happy to be able to sing for the Lord! Praise the Lord for a choir that is singing for the Lord and not to show off! Then we had our evening service, followed by sign language class, and then HOME!!!!!!!! We were beginning to forget what it looked like :) hahahaha:)
Over all, I really want to praise the Lord for the day! I say all this not to lift us up, but to glorify our Lord. There is nothing like giving your entire day to the Lord! Not having to worry about cleaning the house, going to work, baking (all though I love to bake), and just all the regular everyday things we do.
He does give the strength that we need!! Please Pray for continued guidance for our Pastor and our church.
