State Meeting

This week has been our annual Free Will Baptist Association State Meeting. Rick and I usually are travelling for this event that is held Wed - Fri, but this year it is being hosted at the Northport Church, so we were able to stay home. I kinda miss travelling to be honest! (We took the kids last night and it was exhausting...they usually stay home when we travel.) Anyway, Rick was honored this year to be asked to preach one of the messages. The meeting is compiled of mostly preachers across the state, around 200 people or so. The main purpose is business, but we have three worship services each day. We were shocked and delighted when he was asked last year to speak this year. He was a little nervous, of course, but he did an excellent job. God really showed up and used him in a mighty way! The meeting is still going on today, although I skipped out to keep Allee, but it has been both tiring and a blessing! Rick and I, being in the ministry, love having the opportunity to fellowship with other ministers and get "spiritually fed" ourselves. We don't always get that when we are the ones doing the ministering. On another note, God has truly been good to us. Rick does a brief devotion at the school on Tuesdays, and this week he had someone accept Jesus as their Saviour. What a blessing! Allee and Aiden are both filling a little better, both still on antibiotic, but we are getting there. Please remember us in your prayers.
