I had a great weekend! It was so nice to see everyone at the wedding. The wedding was very nice and Heather looked like she was in heaven! I am so happy for her and Patrick! Late Saturday evening and Sunday morning I was sick. Sick to my stomach. Matt got the kids ready for church and took them and I came a little late, but made it and even sang both services. I know that the Lord counts on me to do my job for the church, so I always try to be there even when I am sick. I know that someone's soul could be in the balance, that's why I have to give 100% even when I don't feel like it! Jason (our worship leader) said a few things Sunday about this and it really encouraged me. He said the what we do is not a game- it's real and we have to fight the battle and do what God has called us to do at all cost. Sunday night we prayed before we sang (as we always do) and Jason prayed that the alter would be full of people wanting to get saved and get closer to God- then he said let the alter fill a second time- and it did! People just kept coming. Matt preached a message about "signs". How God gives us signs in our life to warn us and to lead us in the right way. He talked about the sign (street sign) that shows a "dead end" and how you may not get the chance again to come to Jesus. He even told the story about Charlotte preaching years ago and she stopped and turned to the wall and prophesied "Your life will be required of you this night, because you didn't heed the voice of the Lord" (I am paraphrasing) and she didn't even know that behind that wall was a young man who was making fun of God and the people in the next room worshipping God. Later the night he died in a horrible car acident. He didn't get a second chance. We never know when it is our time- we have to be ready. But then he ended on a positive note preaching about the "U turn" sign. How tonight you can turn around and change your ways and God will be there to help you! It was great- I don't know how many people got saved, but I do know that the alter was full. Sometimes it makes you realize that the trials and the hard times you go through can sometimes be the devil trying to hinder us from what God wants us to do. Anyway, it was a great weekend.
Preston is sick again, I took him for his 4 month check up and he has a double ear infection again. This time the doctor gave him a shot. I go back in 2 weeks to see if the ear infections have cleared up and for him to get his other shots. He is so good though. He was fussy a little last night , but this morning he seemed like he felt much better. I know he will be fine. I just worry because this is already his second ear infection. But, I know he will be fine. Keep you posted!
