Her name is...

Well, we decided on a name for our baby...she'll be Megan. Still deciding on the middle name. I always liked Megan, but Jeremy wasn't positive it was 'the name' It means victorious, able. I've been feeling for quite a while that we were to name her Megan cause of the meaning, felt like God's said on multiple occasions about how we're heading into a new season of victory and breakthrough and almost as if as she comes out, it marks the beginning. Jeremy's been feeling that we're heading into this new season as well and finally decided that it would be good to name her with this great name/meaning. So, I'm excited cause I like the name, but the meaning is even better...I just love it!

I can't believe I'm due in 7 weeks! It's crazy. I can't believe it's going so fast, yet at the same time I wish it was time now! I seem to be ready earlier than with Caleb to have this baby. I really enjoy being pregnant, but I'm done now. haha...I wasn't tired of being pregnant with Caleb...I just wanted to see him really bad and being in normal clothes sounded nice too. haha...I'm still feeling pretty comfortable. I haven't gained much weight...so that's nice. But I'm just done...it's hard to get around and makes it harder of course having to chase Caleb around as well. I can't wait to see her and hold her. I'm so excited that I get to have a little girl and of course my big boy as well! He's very excited about being a big brother, at least for now. He talks to her and tells her that he's going to teach her all kinds of things.

That's the latest news from here. Here's the latest pic of me, this was a couple weeks ago already, but I think my tummy's about the same.

The Edge UC: A Success!!!

Just wanted to update you all on the the service we started that I asked you all to pray for us about. We've had 2 services so far at NUS and they've both been a huge success. The first week we had 58 total people in attendance, most of which were our youth from our normal youth service, but 9 of them were first time visitors from NUS!!!! And 3 of them got saved!!!! So, praise the Lord for that! The visitors stayed around for awhile after the service and got to know some of our youth. The atmosphere was great and the presence of the Lord was there.




The second week was also just as wonderful! We had 57 total present, again 9 first time visitors, and 5 repeats from the previous week's visitors!!!!!! We were so happy that so many came back and that we again had more visitors. Again, many stayed behind to get to know our guys. Jeremy's preaching a series called "Hostage" in which he takes different things every week that can hold us hostage in our lives. The first week was an introduction, then last week was on fear. This coming week he'll be preaching on anger. Last week after the service some of the visitors told their friends who brought them that they wanted to come back so they could hear about anger. So, we're very excited for what God is doing and for what is happening at NUS. Thank you so much for your prayers. Please continue to keep this service in your prayers!!!
