1) This week went by way to fast. So fast that I'm not even sure what I did (lol).
2) I made a commitment this week to go the extra mile to help Marc. I learned a lot from our Weekend to Remember. Now I'm trying to apply as many of those principles as I can to our marriage. Just because you have been married for over 26 years doesn't mean you can't learn a few thing here and there.
3) Wednesday we got to sing in front of our voice class. Nicki did a great job. I let "fear" get in the way and it was reflected in my singing. Which is funny because the first thing our instructor told us that first day was that "fear" could keep you from fulfilling your goal. I refuse to let that happen so I will be challenging myself to keep moving forward.
4) I missed the Esther Bible study on Wednesday morning. I hate that. Thankfully I can order the session online.
5) Thursday Marc and I put a lot of the finishing touches on his office at church. It now looks like a real office (my aunt's words not mine). I plan to add a few more personal touches here and there (including lots of pics of our family).
6) Its not official but it looks like Marc may have an associate minister really soon. Still leaving it in God's hands, but it looks promising. If I'm not mistaken, it will be history making!
7) I met today with what hopefully will be the ministry team for our Women's Ministry. Next month we will present some of our plans for the Women of WABC. The response to some of my ideas seemed to have been met with excitement. We even had a few ladies sign up to attend the Women of Faith Conference this summer. I think this will allow them to get to know me in a more personal way.
8) Marc will be meeting with the men next month and hopefully the Men's Ministry will be up and running around the same time as the Women's Ministry.
9) Speaking of the men. They will have their first get together (a Men's Breakfast) in a few weeks. Then at the end of the month some of the men (and women) will accompany some of the youth to a Wizard's Game. Should make for an interesting bus ride. To bad I won't be there to see it (I'm saving for the conference).
10) Even though our initial goal is to minister to the women and men of WABC, our ultimate goal is to go out outside of the walls of WABC and minister to our community.
11) Today we celebrated Black History Month. I hope that one day we will be able to celebrate the many nationalities of our people. I know for a fact that part of my family is American Indian, unfortunately there are no formal records ( just the same as my African American heritage) from which I can gather info.
12) This week will be just as crazy and busy as last week. Including the final week of voice lessons at New Life. Then Friday Nicki and I will be attending a Dinner Theatre program at New Life. Pastor Dan will be talking about being a Multi-Cultural church and the guest singers will be these guys.
13) Speaking of Pastor Dan. Nicki said he was especially funny this morning (and this is after preaching the night before and then having another service immediately following the 8:45 service). I'm sorry I missed it, but with two services at WABC today I thought it would be better not to spread myself to thin. I'm not sure what I would do if Marc ever goes to three services a week (heck, I'm not sure what Marc would do...LOL ).
14) I know that we are way more traditional then the modern churches of some of my blog friends, but I believe in my heart that God has plans for WABC. I'm so thankfully that God has allowed Marc and I to be a part of this. Each day I feel like I am opening up another gift. Sometimes I want just want to pinch myself because I can't believe he has placed us on this path.

15) Marc wore himself out today. His message really hit home the importance of rejoicing even in the midst of our storms.
16) One last thing. Today during our youth time, the Youth Director asked the youth what source do you use when you need information on something. She was talking about the bible, but their answers included....yahoo, google and map quest. LOL..that is what happens when you wire a 70 year old church with Internet.
