Today we had our Sunday service at Franklin Park, it was a Hawaiian themed service with a BBQ following the service. It was an amazing wonderful day. OK It was pretty hot, however it was a fun day filled with much laughter and the opportunity to hang with some amazing people. Everyone was dressed up in their Hawaiian get up and looked so beautiful. I mean if we cant live in Hawaii we can at least pretend right!

As I looked out at the crowd today I reflected on the greatness of God and how much I love His people. As soon as Brian and I became Pastors of Breakthrough we prayed “God send us the people you want to serve by our sides.”  Every person He has sent to us is such an incredible blessing. This morning we had people there at the crack of dawn setting up the sound system, decorating, making trips back and forth, cooking, setting up tents, volleyball nets, and preparing enough paint to paint every face there. I did not hear one complaint just people running around joking, singing, talking with one another and sweating (Did I mention it was hot)

 I just love every person who said “Yes” to the call. Breakthrough is filled with people and families who are there to make a difference in lives and in a city that is hurting. I am the most blessed person on the face of the earth as far as I’m concerned. It feels amazing to be in the middle of the will of God and I get the honor to be in that place with the most encouraging, hardest working people, with the best attitudes of any place that I know of!  We get to do life together, that’s awesome!

One of my favorite points of the afternoon was when Denise drug a bunch of us girls (older girls) in the Buzz Lightyear “KIDS” jumper and we jumped, laughed and got so carried away we almost knocked the jumper over! OK note to self 4 moms should be the limit in a jumper at one time! haha! Gosh I love those girls!

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard this week to make today a wonderful afternoon!

Good Night  -
