Our good friend Kai over at INO Records got a chance to catch up with Jenny from Addison Road about her Christmas and what’s the latest with the baby.
First things first… we are having a girl! Anniston Cate Simmons and she is still on schedule for April 29th.
Now that we have that taken care of… my church staff decided a few years back to ditch the Christmas party, staff bonuses, and gifts and to use that money instead to bless people in the community.
So, they take thousands of dollars, break into teams and they have two hours to go into the community and take care of those in need. They come back with beautiful stories. Someone dealing with cancer, or a friend of a friend whose lights have been cut off, a ministry that needs some extra money, things like this.
Anyways, I got to play hostess this year for the potluck lunch that followed and listened to the staff as they shared their stories and visited. Somewhere in the midst of keeping drinks filled and plates stacked I completely missed the brand new baby stroller and car seat that were wheeled in. And my ears weren’t even listening to my pastor who was telling the group that the next person they were blessing, “travels full time and ministers to people on and off stage and has a hard time making ends meet and is just finishing a 40 city tour, and is trying to get ready for her new baby, and pours herself out into people’s lives day in and day out.” But then I felt everyone looking at me. And I realized… wait, that’s me.
Before I know it I am crying and looking at the most adorable travel stroller system and three baby bottles that had $500 in cash rolled up and stuffed into them. And I am realizing that I wasn’t really there to serve, but to be served, and I am awe-struck.
Thanks Kai for this update. Please keep Jenny and her husband Ryan in prayer over the coming months that everything with their new bundle of joy works according to His plan.
Travel System graco it is GREAT!!!
I haven’t used it yet, but my husband and I have put it together.
