"Ohhh Sweet Wind, Come and Blow Over Me.."

Chris and I started going to a new church that our close friends--James and Tara--go to. We also found out through attending, that some of our other friends go there too. Soooo far, we love it. The worship is so great, and they really allow (well, that's not exactly the right word for it) the spirit to move throughout the service. At some other churches we have visited, it seems that structure overpowers the spirit (don't get me wrong, I do think church needs some structure) and I have felt that the spirit was stifled because church needed to end at EXACTLY noon--not a moment later. Chris and I are still praying about where God wants us to be serving, but since He hasn't told us to move one way or the other, we are really enjoying being still here. It's also really nice to be attending a church where we have a deeper relationship with some people in the congregation (ie, Tara and James, Greg, Kasie and Jimmy).

That is my little update for the night. I am soooo excited to see how the Lord moves and reveals the next step into our spiritual life. Now I am off to read I Peter before I get my beauty rest.

I hope everyone has a great week!


Oh, one more thing, the title of this blog is a song that I learned at summer camp many many many years ago about the Holy Spirit that popped (I totally spelled 'pooped' the first time) into my head as I was writing this blog. ;)

I really enjoyed the church as well...

I spoke with Tony about it and he is willing to go, with a few cynical verbal undertones here and there.

We had a REALLY good night on Saturday and it just didn't happen in the morning, like I texted you.

But I am very excited about next Sunday.
