We had a great weekend!
Friday evening Darren and I headed to the Hillsong concert with our church’s youth group. We grabbed some coffee for the trip and chatted all the way there. I loved having that time with my husband!
The concert was such a sweet time of worshiping our God. They put on an amazing concert and didn’t spotlight themselves at all which was very impressive.
Christine Caine spoke that evening and did a great job reminding us to not drop the baton of faith as we share it with the next generation. She’s really an amazing woman who has a deep love for God and other people.
The last thing I wanted to share about that night was my favorite song from the evening.
It lays out what a Christian believes and brings unity to the body of Christ.
I especially love it because we’re in a time where Christians are more concerned with battling each other over doctrine and theology instead of coming together and using the gifts God gave us to love the people around us.
It’s a reminder to believers that when it comes down to it, we believe in the same essential things of God and that’s what unites us.
Here is the song..

From the concert we made our way to Darren’s parents home. We had a really great time!
Garrett loved his new toy that my mother-in-law found for him! He still has to work on steering but he’ll figure it out.
We also spent some time on the boat! Garrett went tubing for the first time and loved every minute of it.
Pure joy in his face!

I have enjoyed the new stove top espresso maker so much. It allows me to make specialty drinks like a latte or mocha in the comfort of our home.
The world of coffee as I know it is expanding! It’s been fun to learn new things that save us a little bit of money too.

Hope you also had a great weekend! I’d love to hear from you.
What was the best concert you have been to?
Until next time,
I kept looking for the “LIKE” button on all your photos! I love Hillsong, I love what you said about Christians doing battle over doctrine (a sore point with me, especially after having been the target of some of those battles), and I have to know — was that a “GoPro” on the toy at Garrett’s grandparents??? If it is, how cool IS that! And if it’s a light, still cool, but it sure looked like a GoPro camera…LOL! AND, the photo of Darren and Garrett on the boat — you do need to frame that…it is just amazing! Last but not least — I kept hunting for the “LIKE” button of your boys on the tube on the lake! How fun was that to watch!!!
Sorry…I’m smiling at all the fun your family had last weekend, and tickled that it was such a great one. Music, toys and water — doesn’t get better than that! (Oh yeah…coffee…I don’t drink it, but that really was the beginning and end of your post, wasn’t it? LOL)
