God is faithful

Once again this weekend, God has proven to us that He is always faithful to answer our prayers. Friday night we, MSM, hosted The After Party after the Wren/Easley game. Bryan was a bit concerned that things would not turn out so well, mostly due to the weather. Well, it went GREAT!!! We had a great turn out and the students seemed to have a great time. Even officer Roger got in on the karaoke.

This morning, we had around 70 Middle School kids in the service. We have been around 70 or 75 each week so far. Sammy was teaching in the main service today, so Pastor Eddie hung out in the middle school service. We had 8 salvations! Pastor Eddie got to talk with two of them. After the service we had a newcomers luncheon. Several of the families had students who have been coming to youth. All of them made positive comments about the student ministry. It was very encouraging.

I am going to back track a little now.

If you have been reading for the last few weeks, you know that we have been praying for clarity about some decisions we needed to make in reference to our adoption. On Saturday, God answered those prayers. It was such an obvious answer that we couldn't deny it. It has been emotionally draining waiting for this answer and I never expected it to come the way that it did. However, I am very glad that it came and that it is now clear.

Right now, I don't feel like I should share all the details, but I do want to thank you for your prayers. It was a reality that was somewhat hard to take, but it is very clear now that God wants us to continue to wait. Please pray now for the child that was invovled in this situation.

We are looking forward to the 22nd when we will be meeting with the social workers at DSS. Hopefully this will speed the process along a little. Then again, this could be another one of those hurry up and wait experiences. No matter what, God continues to show me that He is still very much in the middle of this and He isn't going anywhere. At least that is one thing I know for sure!
