I absolutely know that there are only 24 hours a day, but I feel like I've been on the go for 36 hours and it's only 9:15 pm. Today we all got up early to take pictures to print for our pastor's memory book. He will be transitioning down from senior pastor and be with us about 1/3 of the year. One of our elders is stepping up as senior. Anyway, I'm sharing some of the pictures we took with you. I wish I had thought to take a full-length of Lupe. She looked very cute in a skirt.
I also translated the service this morning for a man named Jose. He's new to our church and has made the decision to be baptized with his wife and dedicate their children to the Lord. As so many of us have, he has kind of a "past" and would like prayer for himself and his family as they build their lives again in Christ.
After church, we had a party/potluck to love on our pastors of 11 years (well, not our pastors, but theirs). Rob, Andrea and I sang a song to them in Spanish. It was quite an honor to share it with them. We had good food, good fellowship and lots of love.
Then we brought Rob home and left him to his own devices while we went looking for a bunk bed. I will post pictures of it tomorrow. We got a beautiful, sturdy bed at a good price. Hank helped us to bring it home and I took the girls on a promised shopping trip. We bought rolling drawer carts for the girls, some new clothes, hangers, and new shoes for all. I got a new purse. Praise God for His provision.
The girls and I got home a little after 7 pm. Rob had been working very hard to get the bedroom ready for the bunks to go up. We've just had prayer and the girls are in bed and I am headed there when I finish writing tonight.
I have some wonderful (for me) news! My new laptop shipped yesterday. It has all the bells and whistles I wanted. I can hardly wait to have it in my hands. Cool, huh? (BIG GRIN goin' on here)
Well, J-Landers, this is the end ofa very long day for me and for them. My back, head, neck and legs are screaming for the mattress and I'm listening for once.
Blessings to all of you,
Penny
