Awesome Night!

Last night my family and I went to have fellowship with a couple of families in Rockledge. Ever since we started home churching we have been looking forward to getting with these families to just have that time together and let the kids get to know each other etc. Well here's what awaited us. We pull up and we see not one, not two, not three, but like 7 cars all in and around the driveway. We think "Huh, I guess they invited a few more families." No biggy. We can do this. We walk in and the place was just exploding with kids and parents. We only knew the one family that invited us but you would have thought that we had known everyone for years. They were all so friendly and inviting. We had already eaten since it was 7 o'clock. We didn't know that we weren't supposed to and that there would be food there lol. Our informant is not into giving much detail ha ha! Anyway that's fine. But here's the thing....there were around 7-8 families and over 30 kids! You heard right over 30! Ranging in age from in the womb to 19. Now people that know me probably thought I was ready to turn and run (working in a daycare, being a teacher, being a camp counselor, these are all things that I could guarantee you as a teenager I didn't want to be lol) but it was actually very awesome to see this. After everyone ate they called everyone inside and the kids sat scattered around the floor, then someone grabbed a guitar, well actually 3 or 4 someone's grabbed their guitars and they just started playing praise and worship music. It was amazing that with those many kids it was as quiet and wonderful as it was (minus the singing of course). But a lot of that goes into the parents training the children but that's another post lol. Anyway they played a few songs and then a passage out of the bible was read and discussed. I just have to say that it was soooo refreshing to get around people who have the same convictions as we do. The young ladies and girls all looked so pure and lovely and the boys, well they were still boys but very obedient. They only meet once a month right now but I can see this developing into a home church environment that we would love to be a part of. Don't get me wrong we aren't against conventional churches, in fact we used to be a part of a huge church but really felt led to do something on a smaller more personal level. Well I just had to share about this awesome night spent making new friends and fellowshipping with old ones. I'm tired though cause we didn't get home till almost 10:30 and I go nigh nigh around 8:30 lol. But I survived!

One of the ladies I talked to that night knows some Mormons that sell their wheat for $8.00-$9.00 for 25 lbs of hard wheat. I am definitely getting in on that. Since our Wild Oats closed I don't have anywhere to buy my wheat so that was an answer to prayer. I love home made bread MMMMM! Okay I'm done.
Thanks for reading about a bit of my life. I sure do enjoy reading about some of yours. I've grown to really look forward to visiting everyone's blogs and getting to know you better. You know who you are lol.
