Update on prayer requests

The church that we have been visiting had a special service today honoring public servants... police officers, firefighters, & EMS workers. I'm not very good at estimating, but I would guess there were about 400 in the service this morning. It was awesome. The pastor recognized all of the people, and the entire service was devoted to them. His sermon was "The Ultimate Public Servant, Jesus Christ". He said that you either expect to serve or be served. I was very convicted that I need to be more of a servant. He gave 3 descriptions of a servant... 1) willing to serve 2) willing to sacrifice 3) willing to save.

After the service, everyone had a meal, and all of the firetrucks, police cars, and even 2 helicopters were in the parking lot for the kids to enjoy. Makenna loved it. We got to watch the helicopters take off. She was okay until the dirt starting flying. Then, she started to cry and hang on to my leg. She was okay once it was gone.

We attended SS this morning as well. There were so many people in the class that they had to bring in chairs. What a wonderful problem!

I say all of that to let you know God is answering my prayers. He always will. I don't know if that church is where we are supposed to be, but I'm willing if that's where He wants us.

Thank you to those of you who have called or e-mailed to check on us. I've had a rough day. Seems like my headache is worse today. I've taken my BP a couple of times, and it is high. The question is... is it high because I'm in pain, or am I in pain because of my BP? Randy's BP is extremely low... it was 96/63 this afternoon, and his fingers were tingling. We called his dr. and the dr. on call told him to change his meds and talk to his regular dr. this week. Hopefully, it will help.

Thank you God for being faithful to me. When Makenna asked me to pray for her today and she asked if she could pray for me and did, I beamed. Thank you for all that you have blessed me with.
