Last Thursday, Zoe Conference after work, then Sanctuary praise event after that!
Last Friday, Zoe Conference all day, then sabbath service at the Jewish Temple...very cool and uber meaningful.
Last Saturday, Zoe Conference in the morning, then after lunch we did a balloon release for one of Jaime's friends' baby that died in utero at 34 weeks, back to Zoe Conference that afternoon, then the Shriners' Circus downtown to cap off the day.
(Faith asked us later, while we were viewing pictures of the release, if Chase (the baby boy who died) is still with God...how precious. We answered assuredly while fighting back tears. We had written notes to Chase and tied them to the balloons. Jaime has some good pics on her FB page.)
Sunday was a great time of worship with the Otter Creek family. I am especially grateful that I have no emails regarding our "choir" that was on stage. I sincerely appreciate the openness of OC.
Then Sunday evening was a benefit concert at OC by Jah-Way (Reco's band) to benefit a victim of domestic violence. The entire event was in the stream of our Carolyn Maddux Peace & Justice Ministry...people coming together to help a sister get back on her feet when she found herself with nothing after leaving an abusive relationship. A great time to jam with brothers and sisters in "undignified" praise. My fav was the opener, "You Are Good".
Today I just tried to recover from all of this! I did manage to vacuum most of the house, mow half the yard (after Jaime got home I didn't have much time), and get groceries, and take recycling to the drop off. And hang with the kids all day. Ok, there wasn't much rest, but I'm hoping for lots of it tonight.
Peace everyone!
