I finally did it, you may remember that for a new year’s resolution I wanted to be apart of a ministry at church. I have never done this before I have always been feed by the church but have never helped feed. I was waiting for the perfect job that reflected my personality my goals in life....my my .my my.....then sitting on the beach 2 weeks ago 2 youth asked me to volunteer because they needed some one....humm they.... not me.... but they......
So tonight extremely tired( i am pregnant okay) and weary about changing my schedule and my kids being up to late. I let the Lord lead me into the youth worship. I was blessed tonight, my eyes were open through HIM!!!!
To make it more exciting as I sat mixed in with the youth my husband joined me he was supposed to have to work and I had not asked him to come because it was my thing not his. But it was his!! I for the first time saw him serving and when it was over and my feet ached and my kids were going crazy and I had not seen him all day and he asked if he could stay and talk to the youth pastor about how to connect with the boys since he was the only male volunteer, there was no anger or hurt but joy to let him stay to watch him serve!
God amazes me!!!! I am ashamed at how much his love shocks me, it is like I never fully believe how much he loves us. Each time I am shown I am shocked.
Now for the first of many stories of unfiltered teenage conversation..... After worship, a teenage boy stopped me (I was shocked to be honest teenage boys scare me) Then he smiled a sweet smile only teenage boys manage to smile and in front of a large group of my peers asked " hey i know this is weird but are you like fat or pregnant. Me and the guys were all trying to figure it out" this was followed by complete silence of the adults in the lobby.... I assured him I was pregnant!! With no remorse he then asked "So is like that tall guy in there the dad?" I again assured him yes my husband was the father... then explained we had 2 other children..... The teenage boy ended the conversation with "Hey at least you have kids" and walked away... I am not sure what the last part meant and am going to send Ryan his direction to field any more questions but WOW... and that was just the first night!
