Forever I am Changed!

Today was a great day! It is so amazing to think that it was already a year ago that we started going to Lifepoint, and today we started services in our very own building! I just think this story is such a testimony to what can happen to lives when you are obedient to God's calling. I will be forever greatful that our Pastor said yes when God called him to start this church. It has changed the story of my family's life forever!

The Easter bunny was good to the girls this morning. They got kites, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, chocolate crosses, iCarly buckets, and each got a CD and a little iCarly toy.

Poor Kaylee.....last night she threw up all over her room and has a fever. She just was not feeling well today. I tell you........that enemy tried everything he could think of to keep us from going to church today, but to him I say BOO!!!! We have already won this battle! :D But, poor Kaylee is crashed out on the couch right now :(

I love Lily's expression. She is a little stinker!

The girls inside their new kid's room at church!

The little kids' room!

And our new sanctuary! Hooray!!!!!! We did it!!!!!!!!!! There's still a lot of work/details to be finished, but the major things are done. Like the wall behind the screen.......yep, that didn't exist before. The guys were there until about 10pm last night again!

Look at the words on the screen!

"Oh happy day, happy day. I'll never be the same. Forever I am changed."

Absolutely perfect for this day!!!!! **happy tears**

Our family picture. I ended up taking lots of family pictures of everyone today with my camera. Ha! Yesterday, I drug the girls to the mall so I could find a dress to wear. I got so lucky finding a dress that I really liked and fit well. That does not happen often!
Another view from the stage. That back wall didn't exist before either. That's our Pastor, Jeff, lying on the chairs. :D He was tired! They had to paint all of the ceiling too. And run the lights. And build the kids' rooms, bathrooms, install new floors and toilets and sinks in the bathrooms, as well as break up concrete to run the plumbing for them, all the electrical work, insulation, everything. It was just a big open space before. I am amazed at what they accomplished in 5 weeks!!! Especially since it was not paid labor (except for the electrician and A/C guys). Definitely a God thing!!
It was such a great sermon today too. I will post about that later.

After church, we went to Grandma's house for lunch and to hunt Easter eggs.

Don't you love Lily's pose? Ha!

My MIL has such a pretty yard, with beautiful flowers. We love to take pictures out there!

Zoey came over and I just love this picture of them all! They are all 3 years apart (9,6,3, and almost 1)

Look at how cute Zoey is. She was dancing! Don't you just love her red hair?!!

They had so much fun finding eggs. Every year Morgan's Stepdad and I hide the eggs. We have fun doing it.

This was Zoey's 1st Easter and it did not take her long to figure out what to do with the eggs. She was so cute. This picture cracks me up. She has an egg in each hand and she's looking at the one on the table, trying to figure out how to get it too. So funny!!

She figured it out!

Look at Kaylee's basket! It's about to overflow!

My BIL, Brett, his wife Autumn, and Zoey.

Another family photo =)

The girls blowing bubbles. My FIL set up the fan so the bubbles were really blowing! Zoey loved it!

I love the way Madison is looking at Zoey here! That's my MIL, Joy.

It was just a great day! Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!!!
