Wednesday’s are a busy day at the church. J is usually at work for at least 12 hours, which is another reason for the Mon/Tues off deal. Last night began with a fundraiser for the Spanish congregation that meets at our church. They served a nice hot meal of authentic homemade mexican food and all of the proceeds are going toward a VBS that they are going to hold in Mexico this summer.
The meal was immediately followed by a Graduation celebration for some of the girls that were a part of the Revive conference last fall. My mom was in town and it was her idea to make a fruit pizza, and my idea to decorate it with 2011 .

I assume it was good because it was gone before I even had a chance to try it and there were several recipe inquiries. For the record it’s basically a giant sugar cookie covered with cool whip/cream cheese mixture, and topped with fruit.
Afterward we headed upstairs for the “ribbon cutting” of the apartment over the coffee shop. This has been J’s latest building project and he amazed me with his skills yet again.

J and I with two of our closest friends who came all the way across the country to be a part of this vision.

Pastor D says it looks like it popped right out of Dwell magazine. It does look nice and we had a wonderful time of prayer and celebration over the completion of a building that we as a church have been working on for years!

I am excited to see what else God has in store as a result of all of this labor, and I am really looking forward to lots of rest and family time now that J’s work on the apartment is finished.
