God amazed me again!!

This past weekend was so very busy for us yet such an incredible experience. Our church had a guest worship leader/speaker come for the weekend. His name is Kent Henry. You can check him out at kenthenrymin.org

God used Kent to open our eyes to a level of deep worship that was missing in our lives and in the church. God also had a message for the church and for Sean and I. It answered the very thing that Sean and I have been praying and seeking God about. We know that we are supposed to do more in the ministry, working up to even full time ministry. We have been asking God to open a door or show us where to go and what to do. HE DID THAT THIS WEEKEND!!

But let me back track a little... just a month ago or so, Sean and I were asking the question "How do we prepare ourselves more?" He revealed things to us that we need to change in our lives. For me, it's priorities. I have definitely had a change of priorities since Hailey has come along. Or at least adding to the list!

Sean was praying about some form of education. Literally a week later he learned there is going to be a college accredited school starting in our church! This school is offering the exact course he had been looking for. What?! Really? Is this God's answer for that? Sean is going to a meeting tomorrow night to get more information so we can pray about it. Sean is also getting discipled by our pastor and going to a class to learn more about writing sermons.

I am getting back to leading worship in full force now. Angela is now the leader for the middle school/high school girls in the youth group. I assist here and there. I think this is better because I can focus more on the worship band and training our singers.

Sean and I were challenged that God wants to do more with us in the ministry at our church. Now we are praying about exactly what, the timing and preparation. We are so excited!! This time is crucial for us to wait on the Lord for His exact direction. Please pray for us and our church as we seek God's perfect will!

I hate my veggies!

I am disappointed that Hailey doesn't like veggies. She literally does raspberries, spitting the veggies out of her mouth. Look out!! For now, she will get away with it but when she is old enough, it's clean your plate or get nothing! Easy to say now but I'm sure it will be very hard to stick to. She enjoys baby yogurt, fruit and these puff things that melt in her mouth.

Hailey is all tuckered out from the weekend. We were here, there and everywhere. Poor thing, every time she got to sleep it was time to go somewhere else and I would have to wake her up. I was hoping she would sleep late this morning but she didn't. Her Mimi said that Hailey took two good naps today though. And I got her to bed at 7:30 PM. She didn't make a peep.

Hailey is scooting and started the first crawling steps! Sean and I watched her for the first time move her legs and hands and go forward in an actual crawling motion! It won't be long and we will be baby proofing the house. I have so many things I've gotta get up off the floor and clean. My plan is to have my mom come over one day that I'm home during the week and help me. Not sure that's on my mom's list of things to do as of yet. Do you mind, mom?? =o) Seriously, I need to give a shout out to my mom. She is simply fabulous! She helps me so much and bends over backwards to do whatever is easiest on Hailey and I. I can't thank her enough. I love you mom!!!
