Well, Vicki and I have finished our birthing classes. We got a certificate and everything! I have to say that those videos we watched are still with me . . . . UGGHHH! Anyway, we also are putting the finishing touches on the nursery, (pics coming very soon) and getting any last minute baby items we need. We did get an interesting item called ButtPaste. (Check out my myspace pics for more info . . .) To say the least, we are so ready for her to be here! We have three more weeks and they are dragging by SO SLOW. Still, I know that it will all be worth it when we hold her the first time. So, keep us in your prayers.
Next, I want to tell you how much of an incredible concert we had in Neosho, MO. We've been back to this youth event called JumpStart for a couple of years now, but the teens were absolutely amazing this year! They knew the words to most of the songs, and were singing them just as loud as we were! But the coolest time was at the very end of the concert- we closed with Face to Face (as usual). And they were singing every word, so at the bridge of the song, Mike just pulled his microphone down and let them sing it while we backed THEM up . . .
My eyes were closed, but if I had opened them, people would have seen my eyes well up. It was one of the most incredible experiences I've had, to have people who know your songs so well, that they sing them out loud at your concerts! WOW. It's one thing to sing a worship song like that, but it means something to me when it was one of OUR songs, you know? It makes me feel like we're still relevant, and that this ministry IS changing people's lives and making an impact. It felt good.
I hated missing out on the whole weekend, I had to leave early, just in case the baby decided to show up unexpected! And I wished I could have spent some time with our friends Free Indeed. I pray that God will allow us to cross paths soon.
That's it for now. I'll holla at ya'll real soon.
