What a wonderful weekend it was! Not just what we did, but it was also a 3 day weekend, which of course is awesome! On Friday I had a ton of kids at the house, my back was hurting and so we just hung out at the house and played. I did resurrection bread with the girls (which they loved). So much fun to make and a great tool to help them understand the tomb. :)
Acts of Love was on Saturday. My back was feeling a lot better by Saturday, which I was SO thankful for. Unfortunately when I woke up Saturday morning, I couldn't turn my head left due to a massive knot in my neck. UGH! So of course all day Saturday I was hurting and kept hearing "I'm not an ambi-turner. I can't turn left!" everywhere I went. And if you don't know what thats from, its from Zoolander. Funny movie, go watch it! Anyways, back on track. Acts of Love was amazing! This is a program that our church does every year where we hand out boxes of food to people in need. The boxes will feed a family of 4 for 1 week. We usually buy this boxes, but this year, our middle school and high school students actually put the boxes together. We gave out all 1600 boxes that we had. There were so many people volunteering to help and pouring out love on these people. It was fantastic! The girls were so good for me on Saturday too. They were back in childcare ALL DAY and didn't fuss or complain once! So afterwards I took them to Rita's for a special treat. :) Then we all went to bed early because we had to get up super early for Easter services the next day.

| EPIC practicing (more pics soon!) |
So Easter came early for us this year (not the physical date, but the time). We were up and at church at 6:30am on Sunday. Although the girls were tired, they did great and didn't cry at me and give me a hard time. I was so thankful that they behaved and were happy all day. On Easter we debuted our EPIC choir. :D Now, I'm not usually one to say I love choirs, but I definitely liked our choir and they added so much to our services. Thank you everyone who participated! Services went really well.
By 3rd service (or 2nd service depending on how you look at it), well the 11:00 service, we were all exhausted, physically and mentally, and for me emotionally. My neck had loosened up some so I could turn my head a little bit, which I was grateful for. But everything from the past month just caught up with me. The first two services went great, no problems at all. But for me, the last service, I was under attack. I had some headphone issues and it distracted me and then add in all my emotional stuff and being tired, and I couldn't concentrate on what I needed to. Which actually wasn't playing or the music, but on God. By the time we got off stage, I was a mess. I love my friends who are so supportive of me and encouraging. They did their best to lift my spirits and love on me. And in the end, it was all just a reminder to me that nothing I do on that stage matters all that much. Do I want to play the right notes and not mess up? Of course! But in the end, God is the one who is working in the service, not me. And nothing I do, playing well, playing badly, messing up, whatever, can stop what God is doing. It's not about me, its about God. So I ended Sunday by going home and taking a long nap, then the girls and I washed the car and played outside. I'd say it was a GREAT weekend.Friends: I love you all!
