Officially Covenanters!
As with every step of faith that a believer walks, Satan is not far behind trying to sabotage. Everyone in the family was unwell today. Jayna has yet to recover from her 2 weeks' worth of illness; I caught the flu bug a few days ago; Joash fell sick yesterday and Joshua could feel the symptoms of catching the virus too!
However, since we were all still functional by the grace of God and the prayers of our CG mates, we decided to go and attend the membership acceptance and receive it's symbolic blessing. We were also graced by the lovely presence of those CG mates who came to support us in our decision to join the covenant family. Some of them came specially to the second service just so they could be with us! Thank you all so much! Felt kinda strange to hear people congratulating us though... reminds me of getting married. Heh...
The happiest of us all was Jayna since she's on the road to recovery while the rest of us were just starting out. (Her nose was still running though) She's at the age when she wants to explore so it was a mammoth task to keep her from crawling on the floor! Letting her climb from cushioned seat to seat was the most I could do for her. Many were enthralled by her cute antics. *grin* During the worship, she was thrilled and clapped along as we sang our hearts out to God.
I'm glad that at least one of our kids enjoyed it. Poor Joash was lying on the chair resting the whole time. However, it might have been a blessing in disguise as it would have been tough trying to stop him from running wild in the sanctuary if he were his usual self!

Doesn't she look kinda boyish in this outfit?
Having soooo much fun!
Praying in church?!?!
Talk about a good foundation... :P
May we as a family continue to grow deeper in our intimacy with God and to serve Him faithfully and sacrificially together for the furtherance of His kingdom in this church in the years to come!
