Praise Report #2

Although this is only my second praise report, that does not mean that there aren't many things in my life which I praise the Lord for :) but this is one that I particularly wanted to share in my blog.

I have been praying for months for a new home church in which we may begin building relationships with the congregation particularly as we begin to have a family. After trying out a few churches in the area, both big and small, we found Calvary Chapel Mission Viejo. It was perfect because it's affiliated with Calvary Chapel - a true Christian church that teaches scripture including prophecy - and it's in our home city. Not to mention the leadership team welcomed us with open arms. Literally!

Since we became official members a few months ago, we have gotten involved in the Nursery Ministry. A good first step for any couple that is planning on having a baby! We also have made friends with the Welcoming committee (Carol, Dave, and RJ) who paid us a surprise visit that has changed my life in ways that I can't explain right now. And last week, we joined the fall class for Evangelism Explosion with Pastor Rob. The funny thing is, is that I have been praying for an opportunity like this for awhile but never knew where to start and God prepared the opportunity right here in our new home church. This Wednesday will be week #2 (the first week was orientation) and we'll be going out into the field for our first evanglist experience! Praise the Lord!

Here are 2 questions I'll leave you with and if you care to, comment on it or give me a call. I'd love to chat with you about these 2 questions.
1. Do you know for sure that you are going to be with God in Heaven?
2. If God were to ask you, "Why should I let you into My Heaven?" what would you say?

Hallelujah!
