I Forgot that church could be so exciting and enjoyable!

Thank you Father for a WONDERFUL day at church. Thank you that Chase and Jake could help Tom do pre-service music. Chase is so much like one of ours and I'm so thankful that he loves Rachel as he does. Thank you that they are coming with us to church right now. YOU KNOW how easy it could've been for them to become bitter over what happened to us at church. Keep their hearts open to see you and to realize that they are not to place their faith in a church body, but in YOU!

Thank you also for the priviledge of something as simple as being invited to go eat lunch with friends from church--minstry staff friends! That concept of fellowshipping with staff as friends is so foreign to us, and yet we are so welcomed by that!!

I pray Father that if there is any way, that it could be in your will, would you let the church call us to be there permanantly?? You know our hearts desire, and we just pray that this could be possible! You know our financial situation right now and we leave it in your hands....

I release my hands and
my checkbook
my bank account
my clothes
my car
Rachel's school expenses
and anything else that passes through my hands into your hands!
