SHHH-MMM-AAAHH!!!

This Sunday, I think I laughed the most I've ever laughed in a church service. Thanks, Echoes, for following me in that kooky exercise where each of us made ridiculous sounds until the plan was revealed, and with some timing and restraint applied, the noise turned into something meaningful... SH-MM-AH ZZ-RR-AH-EL (the final sound left for God Himself to add, just as He will in the end crown His Son's Bride).

Praying and laughing together... eating YUMMY pudding from kids church (the "good plan" recipe using ingredients that by themselves aren't all that yummy) ...hanging out together after service, chatting...



...while Matt and Joey do their Bible thang...

As for me, I was in my own little zone after service, keeping my body busy so that I wouldn't be distracted from the state of continuous prayer and preparing my heart for Echo Detroit.

Ah, Echo Detroit...

The kids enjoyed kids church SOOO much! We learned about the star the wisemen followed, and we made gifts to give the Baby King. Tiarra offered Him Love, and AndreYa gave Him her heart. Aubrie and Lucy were more practical, figuring He'd need a house and baby food. Andre wanted to give Him a hug, and I, well, I gave Him a ring...


It was a precious foundation, this first meeting. I look forward to sharing more news as He continues to work in this "hidden" church...

Echoes everywhere.... good-night-I-love-you-God-bless-you-sweet-dreams!
