Great Service

This morning, the fam woke up a little late. We were planning on making it to the early service at Antioch in Waco at 9:30 but we all woke up around 9:15. So, we got dressed and made sure the girls had breakfast and headed up to Waco. We decided to go to UBC instead of waiting until 11:00 for the second service at Antioch.

It's pretty cool how God works everything out because this service at UBC was really good for me to hear. The preacher talked about suffering, or how we respond when we feel like an injustice has been done to us or someone we care about. It was just a refreshing sermon as we looked at Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane and when Judas came to betray Him.

It was incredible the way he unpacked the story and helped me picture how Jesus responded to such unjust and miserable circumstances. He pointed out that Jesus actually lived the way He taught...pretty convicting for me. :)

i'm having a little bit of a hard time fully expressing all that Gideon spoke on but it was incredible and i'm thankful that we slept in so we could go to church at UBC. :)

Update on daughter #1: She has roseola (sp?). She had a high fever for three days followed by a rash all over. She's finally feeling better!!! Hopefully nobody else will get it because the next two weeks are going to be incredibly busy.

We're packing to move, trying to buy another house in Waco, preparing for a dnow this upcoming weekend, and figuring out when and how we are going to move all this stuff out of our house to the new one. :) Fun times for our fam!

It is good to get our move on though because things have felt so chaotic with trying to set up in two locations all the time.

One more thing that Gideon said that has made me think. He said that we love hearing about how Jesus has forgiven us and loves us so much but the power of that forgiveness and love is that we must give it away to those in our world.

The David Crowder Band was there this Sunday and it was really great to worship with them. They sang a song called "Remedy" (which is the name of the album they are working on now). It is incredible!!!
