Distracted by a Baby... Why?
I held a restless crying baby for a couple who was trying to listen to Wolfgang. At the end of the time, this couple stood up to be sent out to plant house church in Brooklynn, NY.
I don't like spit up (those of you who know me, know about my bodily fluid thing) and the little baby boy... 4 months... spit up all over my arm and hand. There was nothing to do but grin and bear it. I got a spit up rag from the mother and kept holding the baby.
Well, after a time the little guy got hungry, so I put the spit up rag over my thumb and let him suck on my thumb. Well, after a time of that, he was ready for the real thing. BACK TO MAMA! But this time, he was not crying and wanted to eat and sleep.
Well, sometimes obeying the still small voice of God is as simple as holding a baby. I had no idea that holding a baby would would be an act of obedience to God. I guess practice makes perfect. Obedience was a major theme of the weekend.
Pray for this couple, that the grace, power, and peace of God would rest on them. That there calling would be fruitful for the Kingdom and that little Aiden would grow up in the power and might of God.

What a blessing the conference was to our lives!!! From the speakers to the workshops to the people we met to the details that God took care of - like someone to hold Aidan during a session!!!
Thank you for blessing us! Thank you for praying. We continue to seek God for His way for us here in Brooklyn. We have been part of a legacy church here for the past 10 years, but have been on a journey with God seeking something deeper. The journey has been exciting at times and very dry at other time. This past summer was incrdible!!!
We came home from Denver ready to ask our legacy church to commission us to plant house churches. Our desire (and the desire of our pastor) is for us to stay networked to the legacy church. However, it has become appearant that our church does not seem to be ready for such a step. We are seeking God for our next steps. If you have prayed for us, or are so inclined - please pray for us in the next couple of weeks as we seek God for some specific directions!!!
Thank you and God's blessings!!!
