We went to North Point yesterday!!! WOO HOO for North Point! Miguel was so excited! When I asked him last week why he wanted to go to Atlanta so badly, he didn't mention the aquarium, the Braves game, or the giant birthday party that were in the plans. He shouted, "Church! I want to go to that cool church!" So he was ecstatic on the way to church. He couldn't wait to get there. We pulled up in the parking lot and when the giant building came into view, we said, "There it is!" He said, "What part is the church?" (because the building was so big) and we said, "Um, ALL of it." He said, "WHOA!" So he was just in heaven when we walked in and the band started playing!
We sat up front where he could see the instruments really well! He loved it! At the end, he asked how many people were there and we said about 5,000 and there were two more services after that. He stared at us with his mouth open and said, "Can we stay for all of the services?" So we stayed to hear the music of the second service too! He loved the message and paid attention the entire time. I hardly had to translate anything because he was so engaged in what Andy Stanley was saying!
And Eddie Kirkland, one of the worship leaders at North Point, wrote a new song called Hands of the Healer that is AMAZING! We all loved it and went around for the rest of the day singing "So beautiful, oh so beautiful! So beautiful the hands of love!" Check that song out!
