There's no place like home
Wow, who knew I could miss Houston so much!
So Stephanie and I have celebrated our 24 hour anniversary of being in Houston today!
We got to induldge in Golden Coral with mom yesterday! They have the most amazing buffet in the world. However, I was not mused by the "whole" catfish in which I had mistaken for filets. The bones in tha thing almost took my life.
Stephanie and I planned on being at church at 9:30am, but decided to sleep in and get some well earned rest. We strolled in the church doorway about 10:10 and decided to grace the college class with our presence. To our demise, we were immediately labeled as pharisees and officially marked for the rest of the evening. Yeah, thanks cuz...(inquire about details if you'd like to know more about that venture). Anyways, I felt so loved just before worship started because so many people came up to greet me before I even had a chance to put my stuff on the pew. My church family made Stephanie and I feel welcome and set up a great worship atmosphere for us. The praise and worship singing, prayers, sermon, lord supper, etc were very uplifting. I had longed to be with everyone all semester I was at Freed. Stephanie could finally see why I talked about my church family all the time. We went to Joe's for lunch and had a wonderful time and then we kicked back at Cousin's for awhile.
Then, we had an uplifting small group in which LeAnn shared her testimony with us about how God has touched and changed her life. She highlighted the need to satisfy the hunger for God's character and presence. A comment she made I could relate to is to stop getting in the way of letting God take control of my life. That was even a highlight in this morning's sermon. Afterward the teen's christmas party took place and I had an amazing time hanging out with them. I love those kids! As a festivity, they selected 5 kids and transformed them into reindeer. How did they do this? Well, little panty hose and balloons can certainly add to the transformation. I've got pictures!!! In the meantime, Stephanie made her way to visit friends (who are totally awesome) in friendswood. However, the Nelsons and I had an awesome time after everyone had left the house. We laughed at each other and just experienced a great family atmosphere. I will remember these times always.
A special thanks and shout out to God for making it possible for these experiences to happen!
Because of His Blessings,
Potter
