It's almost here! Cornerstone Summit is celebrating 10 years as a church in Boone this weekend! I can't believe that Brandon and I have been there for almost 7 of those. If you know me, you know I love my church. I love the people, I love my pastor, I love the worship and I love the way that it has been a place for me to grow in the last 7 years. What a joyous time Sunday will be!
I've heard from people that are in different churches now all over Boone and many people who are outside of Boone that they are coming to join us on Sunday! I can't wait to see the people that have been a part of my faith journey and I can't wait to celebrate that Cornerstone was a part of all these people's lives, even if, for some, it was just for a season.
This weekend I'm celebrating these awesome things God has done in my life since 2007. And I can't wait to celebrate with the people who have walked me through these things!
- We started attending Cornerstone in the Spring of 2007
- I joined praise team in 2007
- Brandon got saved in 2008
- We traveled to Mexico in 2008
- My best friends became my best friends in 2008
- Brandon and I went through a couples small group in 2008
- We got engaged in 2009
- We received marriage counseling in 2009 and 2010
- We went back to Mexico in 2009
- We graduated in 2010
- We got married in 2010 (and Pastor Reggie married us!)
- Brandon went to Mexico in 2010
- We went to a midnight prayer service in 2011 in Toledo and then on a spontaneous trip to Chicago with some of our best friends
- I got my teaching job in 2011
- We built our house in 2012
- We had our son Grayson in 2013
I just can't express how all of these life moments involved my church family. Those people are the ones I run to first, the ones I tell my secrets and fears. I was in their weddings and they were in mine. They were there at our birthday parties, wedding & baby showers, the day we found out Grayson was a boy and they are most of whom I send my Christmas cards. There is so much to a church family. And I'm so thankful that mine is Cornerstone Summit.
And here are some old blog posts that talk about my awesome God and my awesome church family.
