On the road again....

Thursday I went up to Wichita, with Lyric in tow, and attended my 1st quarter district meeting at my manager office. I drove out to Goddard to drop off the baby with her Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Hopper. Thank you both sooooo much for taking such great care of Lyric ALL DAY! After my meeting, they said they didn't mind watching her until I was done with my band practice. I was able to run some errands and do a little shopping before and then had a blast at practice. I have truly missed going to it every Thursday since we moved. I love all my Edge of Grace people! After practice I went back out to Goddard and picked up the baby and went over to see Shelley. Don, Shelley and Izzy got to see Lyric for a little while and we were entertained by sweet Isabelle! What a doll! Thank you guys for letting us come by for a while. Like a crazy woman, I decided to drive home at 10 o'clock that night! We made it home just fine though.Friday was a regular day at work, Lyric stayed with Daddy while I worked. Our friends John and Alli came down from Wichita for the weekend. We went to John's Kitchen & Pub for dinner and then to our house to play some Rock Band. On Saturday, we got up and took them on a tour of Independence (which I am sure the really enjoyed ;-) . We had lunch at Stoney B's and then went home and relaxed for a while. Later I fixed chili and we watched "The Big Lebowski". It's a great movie.
I woke up EARLY on Sunday morning and Lyric and I drove back to Wichita for church. We had 1 service and there was a huge announcement. Gracepoint United Methodist Church was changing to Gracepoint Community Church. Bryson had decided that we needed to take a different direction with Gracepoint and stepped down from the Methodist Conference. That was a huge and scary decision for him and we will keep him and his family in our prayers as Satan will be attacking him during this time. We are so excited about the future of Gracepoint. Check our our new website at www.gracepointchurch.tv. We sang some great songs and I got to sing "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence which is so much fun. PC and his crew came in and performed "Lose Yourself" by Eminem and "Jesus Freak" by DC Talk. They are incredible. A big thank you to Steve and Donna (Grandma and Grandpa Goodwin) and Brent for coming to church. We loved seeing you and hope to see you at Gracepoint again really soon! After church, we went over to Steve and Donna's for lunch and visited for a while. Since the holidays, they had not had a chance to see Lyric. My has she grown! I can't believe it. She is 4 months old! Time really flies. We had a great visit and then headed back to good Ol' Southeast Kansas.
I pray that during this difficult time, we all can keep the faith and remember that God never gives us anything we can't handle.
Love,
Jamie
