It's so important to keep things simple, and it's hard to stay focused on the cross when you have that mile long to do list looming over your head sometimes. Thanks for the reminder!! :) PS. looking forward to the women's meeting tonight.Ellennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727677324374871311.post-81685100665835986322011-06-22T04:56:03.000-07:002011-06-22T04:56:03.000-07:00I heard a great quote once and have clung to it ma...I heard a great quote once and have clung to it many times since: "Never doubt in the darkness what God has shown you in the light." Theres no better place to be than at the center of His will. So keep your chin up,Jess. They will come:)<br> I think another part that adds to the worry is that you're probably doing alot yourselves...the preparation, the preaching, worship leading, hospitality. Its alot of responsibility on your shoulders. I know this because although our church is the hub for worldwide Bible Schools(in 95 countries!), missionaries and correspondence courses, an on site Bible college & K-12 school, etc... here at the home base we're few in number. Each person fills numerous roles and it would be very easy to get burnt out. So in addition to those prayers for new people, pray for the right people. Those who will come alongside you and your husband to help build the church up from the foundation. Who will share not only the duties but also the prayers and the burdens with you as well. True prayer warriors.<br> Heres a virtual hug for you(xo).

And they practiced and prepared and sang. Sometimes there were only a few kids. I told him they were playing for an audience of one and it was so inspiring what they put into it regardless of how many kids showed up.
