New Chapter

We had an awesome band service last night at Crystal and Emily's apartment. We talked about how we need to gain strength from the Lord and from each other so we can not only make it to heaven ourselves but help other to make it as well. We had finger foods and a birthday cake for crystal. Everybody crowded around Sara of course, and loved on her. The doves in the dining room in a cage were carrying on for awhile and everybody was saying they sounded like a rooster. I called them albino roosters. I've always liked the call of the dove, but outside in the desert and such, I don't think I could get used to it inside like that all the time, I dunno.

Today we went to eat at Cozumel's with Emily and Megan, I really enjoyed it, because we haven't done it in awhile, and you don't realize how much you miss fellowship until you have it again. I thank the Lord for these young people, and the newness I feel in our friendship. The Lord is blessing, and answering prayer. We went to see Brad Moore after we ate, it was only the second time I've been to see him since his car accident last spring. We held Sara close so he could see, and I thought he really responded well, we watched Emily talk to him and play thumb wars with him. It's so sweet how Emily is with him, definately a deep unconditional love there that's refreshing to see, especially in a young person. You expect to see it in older people, but not as much in youth, so it's extra special when you do.

Sister Peggy brought us Bar Be Cue from Bar Be Cutie, which is a blessing because we were saying this morning that we wanted Bar Be Que, guess the Lord told her what to get. We're getting food provided for us every week right now because we had a baby and it's customary for the cradle roll coordinator to organize this. It's fine with me, we can use all the help we can get.

We had communion and feet washing tonight and it was refreshing to participate in being obedient to Jesus' commands to recognize His sacrifice and humble ourselves in washing the saints feet. I'm thankful for a church that recognizes every aspect of the word not only the more convenient ones. I'm very thankful for my local church tonight, I know that it isn't perfect but I feel the love every time I'm around the people there and I know that spirit will prevail over the contrary ones. All we have to do is keep striving for perfection, and keeping our faith intact by personal prayer, fasting, and study. This is the answer for anyone who has any doubts or questions. He is a rewarded of those who diligently seek Him.
