Catch Phrase

It's been a couple of weeks since I have updated, but know that life is good and crazy here in Christchurch! Spring is slowly starting to show up and you can feel the excitement in the air for summer! 

We have had so much going on but it's all been great! We have felt so blessed to see the way that God has been working through us and in our relationships before we even knew it. Joe and I have a new catch phrase and we are commonly saying it about two things in particular. Our new phrase is 'this is actually happening!' We have had two dreams for a long time, and both are beginning to take place, with feelings and emotions ranging from excitement to overwhelmed to anxious to exhaustion we are excited to see both things happening. 

The first is that our church has it's first service this Sunday, 20 September. The more details we plan and the closer it gets, we are amazed that we are at this point and that 'this is actually happening!' We are both nervous and excited to see how Sunday goes. We are thankful that we have some people outside of our team who are looking for a church home and have committed to helping us out for our first service. 

The second thing that is actually happening (if you haven't heard) is that we are having a baby! We feel so blessed by this pregnancy and trust that God has it timed all perfectly. In the past two weeks we have been able to hear a strong heartbeat and see the baby. We are absolutely amazed that 'this is actually happening!' I am in my thirteenth week and am finally starting to feel like myself again after a long first trimester. 

We have so much to be thankful for! Will you please keep ReChurch in your prayers this week as we gear up for our first service? Will you also pray for us and add this new addition to our family? We will do our best to keep you up to date with both! Thanks for being a part of our journey!

I am so excited for you both and your whole team. I will defiantly be praying for you this coming Sunday. or I guess it would be Saturday here.
