Sunday Mind Dump (through the eyes of the wife)

Update: Good Morning! I was so tired last night that I knew the best thing for me to do was go to bed, get some rest and start my list in the morning. We were so busy this weekend that I thought the best way to share was through pictures (enjoy).

1) Nicki snapped this picture of me during the morning service. The one thing that stuck with me from yesterday was the prayers of one of our members who said "thank you Lord, for opening WABC up to ministering outside of these four walls". I knew then that God's vision for WABC was being manifested through Marc's teaching.

2) I snuck into GMZBC on Saturday night to see their Christmas Cantata. Just so you know (all of our GMZBC family who check in here) we miss you all too.

3) Our new Christmas tree at church (yes, its pretty sparse but we will get to add more ornaments next year). My favorite part was "Santa's hat on top (courtesy of one of our deacons)!

4) We ended Sunday service with an altar call. People streamed to the front for prayer.

5) My favorite part of the weekend was wrapping gifts with the youth for our adopted family. It took a minute for some of them to get that the gifts were all for other children, but they kept wrapping anyway.

6) The hit of the Christmas Play were our Senior Angels.

7) Another favorite memory for me yesterday was the Christmas gift exchange that took place after the morning service. Marc and I had been warned that giving out gifts was a big deal at WABC. I don't think either of us were prepared for the overflow of love that was pored out in that place (and not just to the pastor and his family). It still amazes me that such a small church has such a giving heart.

8) Saturday we took the youth Christmas caroling at a Senior citizen center (see the picture above). For many of them it was the first time, but I think they enjoyed themselves.

9) There are many more memories to come. Marc has the coming week off (yeah!!!!) so I am looking forward to spending some time with him, and lots of time with family and friends.

10) Christmas Eve we are heading to NLP for their Family Christmas Eve program, then Christmas Day will be spent with my mom and sister. I'm hoping to update throughout the week but just in case life get in the way I wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
