This has been a “loaded” week as one of the volunteers observed. Kelly’s first week to start with the creative team so the week was filled with bringing her up to speed (and she is absorbing it really well) My grandfather was very very sick on tuesday evening which was immediately followed by Robyn’s father passing away and being with the family on late tuesday night. Wednesday was filled with trying to help with Robyn with anything she needed for the memorial service on top of the regular work. Then Friday morning (which is my day off) I was called in to work for a late morning emergency meeting to find out that one of the minster was arrested for terrible, grievous actions which were heart-breaking for the entire church family.

But…

God is so good! Here are just a few of the blessing…

Kelly’s grasp of all we are throwing at here is incredible…my grandfather was doing better within 48 hours and on his feet by this last weekend…..I was able to finish the shoot early and get down their to see them and help them with some errands….Robyn’s fathers funeral was a truly awesome occasion and a testament to the difference between the hope of a Christian going to heaven versus the hopelessness of a non-believer dying….we were able to share some scenes in WD which starred Robyn’s father where he was playing a man who was terminally ill and getting ready to die; it was an amazing tool for those who saw it but were not believers…..on friday morning, Becky had taken my car because her car had a nail in the tire and yet God held it together so that I was able to make it all the way to Plano to be at the church and then take it to get the tire fixed which included spending time with Becky on her lunch break and that is always a blessing…and the way we as a church are responding has been encouraging as well. It also opened the door to some amazing conversations about God constant grace and the importance of staying in the Word and vigilant.

I am so thankful for these weeks…
