W.O.W.

    There's this term that I believe Michael Baylor may have coined. It's called wide open wednesdays (wow). Tonight was one of those nights. I love my church.  And that's why Wednesday nights are another night I look forward to every week.  Tonight was truly amazing. I just have to say that I am so blessed to have the pastor and the church that I have.  Tonight as my pastor shared some things that the Lord has told him specifically about our church and our city and as he's ministering and telling us to love one another, I know without a shadow of a doubt that he's whole heart in it.  He loves people. I mean, really really loves people. And him asking us to just love people and the holy spirit shifting some things in that place totally convicted me to do just that.  I want to be changed.
    Sorry if that got a little deep, but it's hard to talk about something that powerful without going there.  I do just love my church family though. And I'm really going to try harder to love people that are in the place that maybe I was in a few years ago or the people that are harder for me to love.
    On a less serious note... this morning I babysat Emerson (a 14 month old sweetheart) who I babysit one morning a week.  Can I just tell you that babies that are first learning to walk are the most fun ever? All morning I would set her down a couple feet in front of me and she'd take 5-8 steps to get to me and we'd celebrate and giggle over how she made it! So much fun.  She also is just a cuddle bug.  She will love on her stuffed animals like crazy and loves to be cuddled and read to.  It was a fun morning (even though getting up that early after the time change was no fun!)
Anyways, I'm off to bed. I was debating not blogging but Brandon showed me the blog counter which is up to 330... (HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE??) and so he said you were waiting to read this. So I hope you liked it.  Goodnight!
