a busy weekend...

team update time!

haha...only a week or so later..... we'll start with last thursday... we had our normal meeting - and spent the time practicing this No More (the picture is a picture of beckah shae who sings the song we're working with ) drama/dance. it was a crazy time of trying to fit in as much learning as humanly possible. good stuff...

and then saturday morning...8am - bright and early practice. started out really really great. we accomplished A LOT and got really far - and 3 hrs later we all were pretty tired out. but it really was amazing how much work they poured into this. that is a long practice early in the morning...and we decided to schedule one more practice for sunday afternoon...

then took about an hour to work on the drama that would be performed the next day for sunday morning service at Edinbrook...(so grateful that Abbie is so good at garageband...haha saved me quite a bit of time).

and then sarah and i and some of the team took a little field trip to find props for No More...not super productive...but still fun. haha and it ended with sarah and i going to walmart and getting supplies to make swords...did i ever expect to take a saturday afternoon/night with my friend sarah to make swords? no. haha but it was fun and they actually turned out pretty good! haha...who knew?

(quick sidenote) sunday MORNING one of our dramas was performed by Abbie, Austin, and Jordan (the latter two added at the very last minute) for both services. it was written for Pastor Ivan's sermon series (you can watch the sermon here... http://vimeo.com/channels/163677 ) - and the theme was what happens when we hold onto bitterness and anger and don't forgive. i'm hoping to get the video that was taken of it - but basically the idea is that when we hold on so tightly to these things, we imprison ourselves and end up useless for God's kingdom. and looking at how we do it to ourselves! satan doesnt even have to help.... how can God use us if we can't hear Him?

it turned out really great, and God really used it...good stuff.

and then sunday afternoon we went BACK to church! yay...haha just so much time there this week. but we had a 2 hr practice...and it was soooo great! somewhere in there it went from just being something they're trying to learn and became FUN. and they just started having fun with it and i got really really excited to see that. this drama has a really powerful message - VICTORY. victory over lies and sin and bondage...its absolutely w/in our grasp! so its so fun to see it all coming together...i could put up some video - but i'm gonna wait...;)

but tomorrow's the big day!

so excited to do all the hair and makeup and everything! :) and excited for MegaWednesday and the drama and all of it.

God's gonna do very cool things! :)

keep covering it all in prayer!

we have the victory!
