Easter Service
What a great Sunday it was. Honestly, the songs spoke volumes of what Jesus did for us. Those songs alone painted a great picture. Reading the story of his beating, death and resurrection continued to just show the ultimate price that he paid. The videos helped give visual to it and testified to what an awesome sacrifice Jesus paid.
It was a great service. I’m so proud of our crew of people that give of themselves every week. Even though we are small we never approach our services like that. We still practice and run through it all as if hundreds of people are coming (because one day they will). Each one of our leaders wants to give God their best and I appreciate that so much. The love in that room was great and God was well pleased.
Our children really are enjoying their “church” back there. I’m so proud of how we have people willing to teach our kids. It’s such awesome thing to see how excited the kids are to go back there and learn about Jesus. Leon & Kristi did some great “Easter” crafts with the kids…love the creativity.
Our first service serving Starbucks was great. Jeanene outdid herself. It’s such a great extra blessing to serve this on Sundays. We are saving people coffee money and that’s a good thing these days.
I’m proud of what God is doing…
SouthView’s first Easter Service is in the books.

Day Seven
1230pm
Had a awesome salad and soup yesterday at the new Asian restaurant in Spring Hill. My inlaws are here and we all went out to dinner with my parents as well. I really love our families. We have such good times together. It’s amazing though that most family fuctions revolve around food. I ate the soup and salad and felt GREAT. Not feeling stuffed and sick after was great!
Went to a huge egg hunt today with the kids. Grace Park Church put it on and did a great job. I dropped the kids off and by the time I got back they had already begun and I missed most of the hunting.
Really looking forward to tomorrow’s service. I think we have a great line up of worship songs, videos and short messages brought by Ps Jed, Dave and myself. It will be nice to have our full family there as well. We are also starting our first Sunday serving Starbucks coffee. Excited about that, although I won’t be drinking it this Sunday. Still trying to stay low key and healthy.
Have a great night…enjoy your family and teach your little ones about the REAL meaning of Easter.

DAY SIX
430am
Stupid thunderstorms woke me up and now I’m up here typing. I’m going to get into the word. I’ve heard years ago that if you wake up in the middle of your sleep, it could be God waking you up to pray. I never wake up in the middle of my sleep, so here I am….
I started feeling sick last night. Not sure if it’s because I pushed it by cutting the lawn and all that stuff with no food? We also got a call yesterday that LeeAnn’s parents are literally driving down to see us as a surprise and spend Easter with us. I really love LeeAnn’s parents and I’m looking forward to it. We now have a bunch of people coming over for Easter dinner. What a week to do that!
I’m going to start to slowily drink some soups and eventually eat some salads. I’ve learned alot about my body and eating process. I’m also thankful for the opportunity to do this right before Easter. I’m so excited for our first Easter Sunday. I’m really looking forward to seeing what God is going to do with our church this year. I’m blessed to be a part of it.
I will continue to update into Easter Sunday….oh great, I tornado warning!
