Week 1

Today felt like a vacation. i think it's because the only time i've been able to choose with my family where we will go to church and actually go together has been when we were on vacation. It was REALLY nice!

We got up this morning, had breakfast, and i read a few books with the girls while Dani got ready. Then i got dressed and Dani got the girls dressed and we headed for Waco. We had a great little drive and ended up at University Baptist Church. We showed up at 9:30 (b/c Logan told us that is when Sunday School started) but there was nothing going on until 10:30. That was fine with us because we could drive around and look at some houses for sale and grab a little snack for the girls.

It was so fun getting to be together as a family and going through all the emotions and thoughts of visiting a new place and not really knowing what all was going on. It was also fun because we got to sit with Scott, Logan, and Kendra.

The music was great. The lyrics to the songs we were singing were so powerful. The only problem is that i think my ears rang for the rest of the day. :)

This one song was incredible. It talked about how Jesus rescues us and gives us life so we can live "for the glory of it all, oh the glory of it all." How cool!!!

i gotta say, today was a good day (thank you Ice Cube, early 90's for that). :)

grace&peace,
