Worship, Birthdays and Blue Bell

Jacob's Favorite Zoo Animal

So many firsts this week.  Eyes full of wonder as they contemplate everything new.   Sunday we went to worship and oh it was great.  Great to go back to the throne to say to the Lord:

"YOU DID IT!!!"  Just like you said you would, just like you enabled Israel to cross the Jordan,  to march around walls and watch them crumble - You did it Lord just as you promised!"

The next thing was to watch Jacob as everyone said "hey Jacob!" - while he's thinking "uhhhh how do they all know me?"  What a great day - on Sunday we felt like we were finally home. So just a bit of advice - If God tells you He's going to do something - believe and then duck!  Because it is going to happen.


Sunday was also Jacob's 12th birthday.  He never had one like this before - first the Zoo and then a meal of Dad's adobo (a Philippine staple) and  then gifts and cake with blue bell ice cream.  This morning he told me"that was the best birthday ever".  It's fitting, the first birthday with a family, "coming home to a place he'd never been before".  I am in AWE of my Father.

So you probably want to see pictures.  Well, we can't per our adoption agreement for another 11 months.  So I guess you'll just have to come worship with us next Sunday.  Come and worship the one who does what He says he's going to do, the one who 'meant' you and me and Jacob when he said "Let there be". We invite you to 'be' with us today.
