wednesday

I stayed home this morning to help clean up the house. We have a showing for our house tonight! I pray this is the one. I am so tired of living so far away from the church. It’s starting to really get old; and Angela really wants to spend more time with moms from church, but it’s just not possible right now. May the Lord bless us…and quick!

My main job was to vacuum. For some reason Kyra hates the vacuum. She gets really ticked when I turn it on. I assured her it would only be on for a few minutes, but she was trying so hard to stop me. She would sit on my lap or grab a hold of my leg. I tried to reason with her and told her that someone was coming to look at the house and it needed to be nice and clean. I went on to say that if this person liked our house, we would move to a new house. This obviously confused her…she looked at me and said, “Our house is broken?” I laughed so hard. In her little 2 year old world, you only get something new if the old thing is broken. Makes me think that perhaps we adults just make things too difficult.

This week the Praise Team practiced on Wednesday. The team sounded really good tonight. I'm really looking forward to Sunday!

I'm still hearing great positive feedback on Sunday's service. Mike and I worked really well together...we just seemed to "get each other." Sure, it was different, but I really think it was more than just because it was "different." I know that had some to do with it; but from the moment we began, it just seemed to have a special anointing. I hope we have more times like that. Those are the moments that remind me how lucky I am to be a Worship Minister.

Tonight, my class was great. I hesitate to really call it "my class." I really just help facilitate it. We talked about having faith like a child and whether our faith was based on the provable, trust, or a combination. I really look forward to that time each week. We spend time in worship, and then just share our hearts. I don't really plan too much, but I'm continually amazed how someone will come up after and say how much they needed that and it just "hit home" with something they were dealing with that week. That's a total God thing! I love being part of His purposes. What an honor. That's why I'm bummed we're gonna take a break from that format for a while to work on music for our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service. I know we'll lose a few from the class that aren't planning on singing in the Christmas Chorale, but I promised we would not just spend our entire time singing. Hey, perhaps those who don't normally participate in stuff like the Candlelight Service will give it a try this year.

Well, it's getting late...
