My Life as a Preacher's Wife...


Ok, just kidding about the title, but Ryan really did deliver the message at church this morning. He did such a great job! He really does not like public speaking and when he got up to start speaking I got really nervous. I was praying the whole time he was up there! If he was really nervous, he did a great job covering it up. I think everyone appreciated the message of his speech. We had several "AMEN"s, so that's a good sign! After church, several people thanked Ryan and told them that they really needed to hear that specific message. One guy even introduced himself and asked if he could get a copy of the lesson! As you can imagine, I was so proud! So, basically Ryan conquered a fear today and delivered a wonderful message all at the same time! I'm not sure how many people were at church this morning, but if I had to guess I'd say somewhere around 115. I got Kyle to sneak this picture for me!

Hi! I'm Dee-Dee - one of Ryan's sister's friends. It looks like the two of you are doing well. I hope medical school is going well. Ryan looks so different now - I still remember him running around riding his bike and playing all of the time. Please tell him I said hello and I am very proud of him too! God bless!
