WOW! What a Sunday?!

Mother's Day was a great day in so many ways! It started with the four of us just hanging out a little, getting ready for church and heading out. Alex didn't go early to help with set up and parking lot duty; instead he stayed home to help us get ready. It was nice!! Things can sometimes get pretty hectic without him. LOL.

Sunday at The Journey was AMAZING!!! I just don't know how else to explain it. It had been deemed "Celebration Sunday" and boy was it. We were excited to witness one of our dear friends' baptisms. Jamie had been teeter totting on whether she was ready or not, but decided she was indeed ready and that she wanted to take that step toward a relationship with God and we were very excited to be there to witness that with her family!! We love you Jamie and are very happy for you!!! The Celebration didn't stop there though. Alex has become close to a guy in our neighborhood that also attends the Journey. Jeff too decided to take that step toward a relationship with God and he was baptized as well. Alex was incredibly moved to see Jeff take that leap and we're very happy for his family. Yet the excitement didn't even stop there. By the time our service was over, FIVE, yes FIVE, people had come forward to be baptized. It was absolutely AMAZING!!! I've never been apart of something like that and I have to say that my life has been forever changed. I'm really excited about all that is to come at the Journey.

After all that, you wouldn't think that anything else could happen. But, Sunday evening, some friends (the Reed's) came by to check up on us and our husbands' decided they would just cook us up a nice little Mother's Day dinner. I have to say that Erik and Alex did an excellent job!!! It was a super nice treat! Hope you all had a great Mother's Day too!
