We got back this past Sunday evening after spending the weekend with some friends in Wesley Chapel, near Tampa. Our time went quick, yet God allowed us the privilege of sharing our ministry with a small group of people Saturday night over dinner, and again on Sunday morning, as Joshua shared for three services at First Baptist Wesley Chapel. He went over his allotted 15 minute time slot, taking 30 minutes total. During the last 15 minutes I stood visible through the glass doors at the back of the church trying to discretely give the "stop talking" look. Yet during that time Pastor Frank had decided to keep Joshua up on stage the entire service to share, and then for questions and answers at the end...for all three services. It was quite humorous now that I think about it, yet such a blessing.
Azariah continues to grow and learn more quickly than I can keep up with him. He's not walking yet, but can stand for brief moments without holding onto anything...and we're NOT encouraging walking. We also discovered today that he's cutting two more teeth on the bottom, which explains why he's been really irritable and fussy this week. The whole week I wrongly accused him of having discovered his ANGER (or at least how to EXPRESS it), and was somewhat frantic about how to handle this new phase of development. God has definitely been growing me to have more patients and revealing my sin during moments when I have little. We can't wait for all you grandparents to get your hands on him this summer:)
Joshua's been sick these past few days, and I've selfishly greatly enjoyed having him at home. He's starting to feel better, despite the Orlando Magic's loss last night, and we're hoping to hit our packing lists hard this weekend.
We love you and hope to talk to you all very soon,
Rose
