What a Great Day!

Sunday was such a wonderful day for us! It started out with a great church service. Wll and I are loving our new church. Our pastor has so much emotion when he preaches and is so passionate about the Word that it overflows from him. I look forward each week to hear what God will say to me through him. We also had the Lord's Supper in celebration of Palm Sunday. I always enjoy the Lord's Supper, it is such a concrete reminder to me of the ultimate sacrifice given for my life.

After church, we spent the afternoon at my Mamaw and Papaw's house for our family Easter dinner (my uncles were off this weekend so we went ahead and got together). It was absolutely wonderful! We had the most amazing spread of food...

The most AMAZING pork chops ever!

...and the weather was gorgeous so we were able to eat outside. After lunch, Emma got to play in the yard with her little cousin Tanner. They had a blast! And I thouroughly enjoyed laying on a blanket in the sun. It was so peaceful. I have so missed being able to attend the family get togethers!

Sunday evening we all went to our church to Will's ordination service. We had lots of family there, Will's grandparents and aunt and uncle from South Carolina, Will's parents, my parents, Blake, Mandy, and Mickey, my Grandma, and my great aunt and uncle. Our good friend also came to give Will the charge of ordination. The service was simply wonderful. I could not have been prouder of Will. It was so amazing to watch him accept the calling on his life. He is such an amazing husband, father, and minister. He has grown so much in his walk with Christ as well as his ministry in the last few years and it is so awesome to see. After the service, Will's family had to travel back to South Carolina, and his dad had to do taxes but the rest of us enjoyed a great celebration meal at Logans Roadhouse.

It really was such a wonderful day! I wasn't able to get any pictures at the service but here are a few pics from our family lunch...
