1) I have had soo much fun this week, I'm not even sure where to begin. Everyone should take a week to celebrate their birthday. I even decided to take it easy last night, hence the reason for Monday Morning Ramblings rather then a Sunday Mind Dump.
2) Monday we had our Easter Eggstravaganza. It was so much fun watching the kids run around and play. The Youth Leaders did a great job planning the event. I found out Sunday that some of the eggs even had money in them. I have been hosting Easter Egg Hunt's for years. Did I miss it? No, I loved seeing someone else working the gifts that God gave them. Every leader should learn this important lesson.
3) Tuesday some of the ladies at church surprised me for my birthday. If you missed the post, you can see it here. They got me really good!
4) Wednesday I spent the day resting. Yes, the whole day! I can't tell you what I did on Thursday because I really don't remember. By the end of the week my allergies were kicking my butt big time and I spent a few days in a medicated state. LOL
5) Friday a very special friend took me to one of my favorite restaurants for lunch. I ordered my favorite key lime cheesecake for desert. I can still taste it!
6) Saturday Nicki and I went to see my mom and cousins. I had not seen them since Christmas. We spent the afternoon shopping and hanging out together. I love going home, it probably has to do with the fact that life just seems to slow down a bit when you go to the country.
7) One of my favorite things to do is sit by the water. You have to cross a really big bridge of water to get to my mom's home. I kept thinking it would be so nice to just sit somewhere and watch the water. I'm thinking its time for a vacation. LOL
8) You may have noticed that there are not a lot of pictures from the week. That is because I put my camera down almost the entire week and lived the moments rather then glimpsing them through the camera's eye's.
9) We had a really good time at church yesterday. Our friend Rob who joined the church a few months ago spoke at the morning service. Marc spoke in the afternoon. You could tell he had been waiting all day to speak because he really brought the message. He has learned to let go also, but watching him yesterday was amazing. I love that he is experiencing the gifts that God gave him. I know in my heart that this is God's destiny for his life.
10) Life will not slow down this week either. We have an event to attend tonight and Wednesday night Marc will be speaking at an event. This will be the third time in the last two weeks.
11) This week one of the members of our church donated a van to the church. It needs a fresh coat of paint and info about the church, but in the words of one of the members on Sunday....it may not be a new van, but its new to us. Thank you Lord, for the blessings you are bestowing on WABC.
12) This past Saturday my friend Diane became the leader of our First Impressions Ministry (its the new name of our Ushers and Hospitality Ministry which will now be combined). Her husband Rob is the Director of our Missions and Outreach along with the First Impressions Ministry. I know that this ministry is in good hands.
13) Several members are stepping up to the plate to assist with our Youth Ministry. Hopefully by the end of the year we will have a Children's Church Ministry in place. Marc told the congregation this week that we really need to expand. There are so many things that we would like to do at WABC, but its getting a bit claustrophobic in the existing building!
14) Registration for our VBS Summer Camp has begun. I was tickled pink to see that the VBS Director picked the VBS curriculum that we used at GMZBC last year when I was Director. Once again they emphasis is on "Serving". Hopefully this will be the kick off for us doing a service project in our community.
15) Several people who visited us for Easter have returned again. I love seeing the pews starting to fill up on Sunday morning. This coming Sunday we will have our second Meet and Greet with guest. Thank you to all of you who continue to pray for our small church. I can feel your prayers, and I am humbled by the support you have shown us.
