Cristina is doing great...she has had very little pain or discomfort and is up and around. In spite of the doctors orders, Cristina has decided the crutches just aren't necessary.
The girls spent the day with Tricia Ogden and that was a blessing - I had to drag the girls away. Great friends are a blessing and we have been blessed over and over.
Clyde and Janette brought a beautiful mandevilla vine...it will look great along the back porch. Jennifer Ferrell brought dinner over and oh my! It was shredded chicken tacos complete with guacamole, tortillas and all the trimmings. And to top it all off was a container full of warm chocolate chip cookies! I did my best to "get rid of" the cookies before Cristina woke up because the doctor warned against solid food right away. Of course, I always have her best interest at heart and am willing to sacrifice for her. However, the smell brought Cristina out of her sleepy haze and I had some 'splainin to do.
One of the most significant blessings of my life has been our experience at Fellowship. It has been almost a year since we came in view of a call. We struggled and prayed and stressed and prayed and prayed some more. We tried to look at it from all angles, but there was one thing that not many people know. In all of our discussions it was obvious that no matter what happened, we were going to join Fellowship. We felt at home when we started just filling in on Sunday mornings. We knew God had called us to serve there and we were willing to serve as pastor or as members...we just wanted to be a part of it.
Cristina would be the first to tell you that in the grand scheme of things, this surgery was not a big deal. But the outpouring that began way back on Memorial Day continues to enforce on us that God placed us here as a part of this family and we are blessed!
More importantly, we feel God has placed us here as co-laborers with each of you. Together, we have the express intent of discipling one another and leading people into a covenant relationship with Jesus Christ.
This verse describes it to a "T".
In Christ Alone,
Michael
