We took a road trip North last weekend. Friday night we stayed in Rockwall, TX. Saturday morning we attended and spoke at an America World Adoption Seminar. (They are the agency we used) We have been considering doing volunteer work for our agency and we went to see how the seminars are done. It was an neat experience. We were one of 4 families there that got to speak to prospective adoptive parents. Of the 4 familes that spoke all but one of them had 4 children. It was fun to share stories and compare experiences with them. The seminar was held at Lake Pointe church. Lake Pointe is an awesome church. The kids especially love it because there was an indoor playground similar to the one at the mall. There was also a tunnel room like at McDonald's and in between the escalators in the main building there is a huge slide. So the parents can ride down the escalators and the kids get to slide down. I can see me standing there on Sunday mornings having to let everyone go down 4 - 5 times.
After the seminar we drove to our Friends Rachel and David Rose's house to spend the night. Rachel and I grew up in church together and graduated together. Her husband David has just accepted his first Senior Pastor position in Winnsboro, TX. We had never heard him preach so we got to attend church with them Sunday morning. We knew the weekend was God-ordained because David preached on family. That we as Christians must raise godly children and be fruitful and multiply. If that means bearing children or ADOPTING. Before the sermon he even sang the song by Steven Curtis Chapman, "When Love takes you in" We didn't know David could sing.... Apparently he is a man of many talents. I even saw him sweeping after lunch.....I'm not sure which impressed me more the sweeping or the singing.....We had a great weekend and the kids played really well together. Kaylee and their daughter Hallie who are both six were inseprable.
