Couple of Updates:

#1) Drew Bezner was baptized on Sunday! Whoop! We have put him off from becoming a Christian for over a year in order to make sure he knew what he was doing. We've had conversations, read books, met with the children's pastor, and read more books. It finally became impossible to hold him back. During FBC Kaufman's recent revival, Drew got up from the pew spot he had been twisting in the whole sermon, gave me a "don't you dare stop me" look, took his Daddy's hand and stormed down the aisle. We met at the back and while Steve was explaining (again) what it all meant...Drew quickly filled in the blanks saying," yeah, Dad, I know all this....I JUST talked about it with Mrs. Beth YESTERDAY!" So, he prayed to ask Jesus into his heart. Greatness. So then we've been counting down the weeks until he could be baptized (had to make sure all the grandparents could be there). It was a great day. The only thing that would have made it better would have been had we remembered to tell our siblings that we were having a baptism. We are so busy that we plumb forgot. We love you siblings! Please forgive us!

#2) Our first Commons Bible study was great. We had nine people. We shared ideas, Steve led Bible study (he did GREAT by the way...of course it was GOD but it was awesome to watch), and prayed. We are excited to see what God has in store this week. We are praying for God to be with the people in Fort Worth that we are going to be meeting and that He would be working on their hearts now before we even meet them.

#3) I have officially resigned my wonderful job in Kaufman. It was a very sad thing for me, but necessary for the school here to go ahead and move forward. I am enjoying my last few weeks in this school district very much. It has been a wonderful place to teach. I highly recommend Kaufman ISD to anyone in the area. They love kids here.

#4) If you are checking in for prayer requests, the ones listed several posts back are still very very on the top of our thoughts. The selling of our house, to us, seems very important. We are hoping that it would sell soon. Join us in praying that God would help it to sell soon, and for us to be patient if that is not His will. Ultimately His will is what we want. We feel like we are following God's will by starting this church. (It wasn't our idea!) So, we know in order for that to be successful, our house needs to sell. We are praying that all the glory for the selling goes to God. Thank you for joining us in that prayer.

#5) Diet Peach Tea Snapple has become our new favorite drink. Try it out!
