the one about church yesterday

Lately I've been a bit overwhelmed by Chloe Belle-in a good way. I've fallen so very much in love with her it's been hard to focus on anything else. It's a bit like being engaged. I remember being convinced that no one in the world had ever loved like Adam and me. The world revolved around us. Now, I'm slightly more mature these days, so I know I'm not quite the self-obsessed jerk I was when I was engaged, but it's a similar feeling. I wonder if other mommies love their babies like I love Chloe Belle. Plus, to top it all off, I feel more in love and more appreciative of Adam than ever before. We've had a great time together these last 5 weeks as parents.

Yesterday was my first day back at church. As we walked in, I have to admit I was most excited about people. I'm a super extrovert, so after being at home for four weeks, the prospect of a building with 2000 people in it for me to talk too was just too exciting! It was more than great to see all my newlywed friends. Then we went in to church.
I was overwhelmed by God.
It's funny because I have been spending time with God at home, talking with Him, and having daily praise and worship time with Chloe Belle. But, there's just something about being with God's people that is so healing and so reviving. I wept during the worship time realizing that no matter how deep or wide my love may be for my husband and my daughter, there is NOTHING like the love of God. My love relationship with my Savior is just so consuming that everything else pales in comparison. It was just so good to remember that yesterday.

Our guest speaker was David Brickner from Jews for Jesus. Now, anybody that really knows me would know that my little heart just went aflutter when I realized this because I love me some OT talk! My man David did not disappoint. He loved Jesus and spoke a few minutes on His return: talking right to me. I love my Jesus and I simply cannot wait till He returns.

I cannot wait till the shofar blasts, the sky rolls back, and His feet touch that mountain. I cannot wait for the feast and I cannot wait to see His face.

⁶ On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare
a feast of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine—
the best of meats and the finest of wines.

⁷ On this mountain he will destroy
the shroud that enfolds all peoples,
the sheet that covers all nations;

⁸ he will swallow up death forever.
The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears
from all faces;
he will remove the disgrace of his people
from all the earth.
The LORD has spoken.

⁹ In that day they will say,
"Surely this is our God;
we trusted in him, and he saved us.
This is the LORD, we trusted in him;
let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation."
Isaiah 25: 6-9
