My New Church Family

I'm so thrilled to share this news...
On December 28, 2008, I was baptised at the First Baptist Church of Woodstock in Woodstock, GA. :) It was such an awesome moment in my life and I know I'll never forget a second of it. I'm still amazed at the overwhelming feeling of love and gratitude I felt as the water rushed over my face. I really can't put it into words, so I'll stop trying. :)
So, moving forward -- My daughter, Kylie, and I joined First Baptist Church of St. Charles. It's right next to my brother and sister-in-law's house. A few weeks ago, my sister-in-law told me her parents (who live nearby) began going to my church (different service than we go to, though). Well, recently, her parents were baptised and became members of the church. (Yay!) So I told my sister-in-law (who doubles as my best friend) she should think about going with her parents or with Kylie and me. She kicked around the idea and then proceeded to whine about the weekend, about sleeping in, about dragging her sons (3 yrs. and 4 mos.) up there on her "day off"... yada yada yada... we've all heard it...
Well, I wasn't giving up.
Now the good part: She's been attending EVERY week and last week she went forward and asked to be baptised and to become a member of the church! (Double yay!!!)
Soon we'll have the whole family there at this rate!
...Now if I could just get my husband to go...

Kaeden Patrick Greenlee

This is the son of a dear friend of mine. His name is Kaeden Greenlee and he was born with many physical difficulties. This boy has been through more in his first 6 months of life than most of us will see in a lifetime. Please keep Kaeden and his parents, Julie and Jeremy, in your prayers. He still faces many more surgeries and is constantly battling for his life.
Thanks to each and every one of you who lift this family in prayer.
