Amazing Weekend

77 PEOPLE WERE BAPTIZED THIS WEEKEND AT NHC!!!
Is there any other word to describe it other than WOW? Malcolm was one of those people…and there are really no words to describe how I feel about that! He wasn’t even attending church when we started dating in October. Now not only does he attend with me, he serves in the Student Ministry, too. And this weekend….in front of the church he joined 76 other people in making a public declaration of his faith in Jesus and being buried and risen again. There’s nothing like it. Somewhere in the day yesterday I remember him saying “there’s nothing that could make this a bad day.” And only God gets the glory for doing so much in his life these past 9 months.
We were blessed to spend the latter part of the afternoon celebrating with a very awesome community group with some awesome food, fellowship and prayer. There was truly reason to celebrate!
Some very awesome folks got baptized yesterday…including some NHC Kids and some Spiked Teens. Families were baptized…husbands and wives…brothers and sisters…it was really an awesome day.
We also celebrated Malcolm’s grandma’s birthday yesterday with his family. Bless her heart, despite it being her birthdya she insisted on doing all the cooking….and it was that smack your momma kind of soul food cooking.
I am definitely on a diet this week!
Taira celebrated the end of the school year at her friend’s house. She GRADUATES from Elementary School this Wednesday. GRADUATES???? I don’t remember graduating from 5th to 6th grade, but I’m as proud as she is excited. They had a tough time with EOG’s…but it’s all over now!
Tonight I am going to see one of my Spiked small group teens graduate from Middle School to High School and Thursday I’m hosting a graduation party for a previous Spiked High School graduate. What a week.
But more so…what a weekend!!!
LOVE YA!!...
