We're all grown up now

Guess what we get to attend now? Annual Business Meetings. WOO HOO! Well I suppose we would have to start attending sooner or later, but once on the payroll of the church, our attendance is mandated. ;) Not that it was bad, of course. We got free pizza and punch, hung out with some really cool people, and listened to the reading of minutes and people saying "aye."

We also got a very 'real' impression of the church... the formalities, government, and of course the one or two "nay-ers." I am thankful for the leadership of the church and Faith Baptist's heart to grow as a community in Christ. Thankful to see the dialogue, the patience, and the heart of the congregation. We are in the care of a congregation who truly prays. After the "business" of the meeting, we got together in groups of 5-10 people and earnestly prayed for the church... This church is shepherded well. Both Divinely and with the flesh.

I love how much you've been writing! I have been praying for the crazy roach situation. I cannot even begin to imagine how I would be reacting to the infestation; just another reason why you are amazing Annie. I miss you so much... I love you.
