Max and Kate made their first appearance at our church, Brentwood Baptist, today!  Dr. Carr gave us the ok to get ‘em out a little bit, and I have been itching to get back into our church routine.  I always feel lost when I miss service, even though thankfully I can watch it with live streaming (yeah – we go to a big church with lots of technology!)  The ladies from church have been so helpful to make everything comfortable for us – they even set up a room just for Max and Kate today and they each had their own caregiver – they are getting a little too used to being spoiled!  We also got to visit and get pics with Pastor Mike today – he is an awesome man and pastor, and we are so lucky to be involved with such a great church.

I have to admit, the sermon was very fitting today as well.  I’ll keep it short, as Chad says I veer too much from talking about the babies, and it is THEIR blog (by the way – I’m working on a new one since this one was really just meant to chronicle a simple pregnancy, but we all know what happened there).  Anyway – it came down to trusting God and not being afraid – it was geared toward everyone who has been struggling so much with the economy and job loss, and other uncertainty.  Before the sermon, Chad pointed out in the bulletin where they were offering finacial counseling.  For those of you who don’t know, Chad is the Director of Counselor Training at Dave Ramsey’s.  It made me realize just how blessed we are that Chad is helping people all over the country with what he does.  I wondered how many other church bulletins offered the same thing to their congregation, with a counselor that Chad has worked with.  It is mind-blowing to think of the impact he is having in the lives of others – over 50 people went through Counselor Training last week alone, and I can only imagine the number of people each one of them will help.  I am so glad that Max and Kate and Isabella have such an amazing man in their life!
