Amazing Grace

This past Sunday we attended a new church. Sherman Bible Church. A lady my brother, Brian, works with attends and just raved about it. Brian and his girlfriend, Ashleigh, started attending and fell in love. They got my parents to attend, they too, fell in love. So, we thought our family should give it a whirl. We're falling in love.

The childrens ministry looks and sounds really neat. Taya will be in the Transformers class, Corbin in the Powerhouse class and Ethan in the Youth class. Yes folks, I said the YOUTH class.

Since it was our first visit in a new place, we decided to let the kiddos attend "big people church" with us. The pastor was hilarious. Spoke in a way and related to things that my non-church going self to understand. I even think the boys got the jist of it, too, at some points.

Picture this: Corbin on the inside, then Brian, Ethan, Matt, Taya, me, my mom then my dad.

Anyway, we had a quiet time of prayer, where you can pray silently or you can pray in small groups with people you may or may not know. My folks were praying silently, as were Matt and I. Taya had her head bowed thinking about who kows what. I look to my left and see Ethan and Corbin, heads bowed and Brian praying aloud with them. It melted my heart and honestly, brought a tear to my eyes.

As if that moment weren't enough to give me peace, at the end of the service, everyone was up singing songs. They have 2 enormous movie screens with all the words on them just in case you aren't familiar with them. Well, I notice Ethan singing along which was neat. I was holding Taya in my arms singing along and I look at my beautiful girl and hear and see her singing along! It happened to be a song I love that we hear on the radio, so she new the words by heart and was bee boppin' along. Caputured that moment in my heart FOREVER.

Needless to say, we're all looking forward to going back this Sunday for some more Amazing Grace.
