He is never to late, He is never to early, He is ALWAYS right on time....I have heard this so many times before but never really put much thought to it....until now. We got a call on Christmas eve morning from our good friend Lorie Bates saying she wanted to talk to Chad and I and wanted to meet with us, so we met up at farmboy that morning for some breakfast. When we all set down together I knew that Lorie was excited about telling us good news because of her smile that would not go off her face...lol... She told Chad that Doug Odle was retiring from Ressurrection Bound and that they were possibly interested in Chad stepping in!! Chad's mouth dropped..that was the last thing he was expecting her to tell him. He thought that maybe Lorie had got a few leads on places for him and her to start singing at. He really didn't even know what to say. After the week that we were having then it was WONDERFUL to hear some good news. Chad and Lorie were already scheduled to go with Ressurrection Bound on New Year's eve and sing a few of the songs they sang together. After a few conversations with the other people in the group and then New Years went by great, we really enjoyed our night with Ressurrection Bound. Chad had his "try out" with them on Sunday after church and after that we are now very very pleased to be able to announce that he is now part of Ressurrection Bound! THANK YOU GOD!!
For some people this may not seem like a lot...But to us is a LONG AWAITED prayer being answered. It's not about the fame or fortune of singing in a group...IT'S ABOUT SINGING FOR GOD!! Chad has said soooo many times "If I could just get the opportunity to sing for God in a group that would be the only payment I would want" There is no money involved in this venture which really makes it that much better. God has given to us time and time again and without his love over the years Chad and I could very easily be in some bad situations..But because he NEVER gave up on us...He knew there was something in us and he basically polished us until we shined. It's funny how when everything around you seems to be falling apart something soooo wonderful pulls you through to the light at the end of the tunnel.. I am VERY excited about being apart of this journey with Chad, God really knew what he was doing 10 years ago when he brought Chad out of the army and home to me...Even when I wanted to give up and stop pushing on I continued to love him and we grew as Christians together and there is no other marriage to be in then the one where you are both believer's in God's work...
Please continue to pray for us and this new adventure we will be starting together...
