First Day

Today was my first official Sunday at NCF (North Country Fellowship Church- www.ncfchurch.org). 'Overwhelming' is such a minor word compared to the outpouring of love from the congregation. The welcome they prepared was unbelieveable and so unexpected! I cant remember a time when I have felt so welcome!

I was asked to come up at the end of the service to give a testimony and explain how I got to NCF. After that was a buffet dinner prepared for my first day complete with cake and a "welcome song," to the tune of Happy Birthday lead by one of the deacons- it was great lol.

They gathered up 'pantry items,' for me and other various things. What a huge blessing and surprise. After that we had a staff meeting which was great to be a part of as staff. Then my pastor and his wife and family came over to check out my new place, which is beyond words incredible, hung out, opened gifts and then back to their house to hang out and play 'spoons.' Its a really fun game I have recently learned.

Jimmy, as I call him is still loud and proud of his sound system, however he has now switched to Aerosmith.

Had an amazing adventure picking up my new mattress with my seperated-at-birth-sister (Kelly). Save that for another day.

Don't forget to thank God for the amazing blessings in your life- I know I have been continually amazed at His love and timing!
