Dearest Family & Friends, Sorry it has been awhile since my last post. The Means family is as busy as ever. Since my last post we have had a lot to celebrate. In July, I celebrated my 30 something birthday. A lady never tells her real age.... :) Also, I graduated from a 6-week in depth course called "Boot Camp" from our church. This was an amazing time in my life. A lot of sacrifice but the reward was incredible. I gained a whole new depth of learning in the Lord and what I gained as a woman and a child of God was priceless. David will be taking this course in January. I am so excited to see what the Lord will do and reveal to him. Then in March, we will take the next set of courses together. This will continue our training in ministry. Bella celebrated her 3rd birthday on October 31st. She is truly our jewel! Since I am a full time mom now, I have the pure pleasure of being home with her each day. She makes me laugh. Needless to say, we have some fun-filled days for sure! Lately, she has become the lil' shadow, mimicking everything she sees and hears. Also, she had another growth spurt. That is 3 inches now in 5 mos! The Music Factory and Christmas Street wrapped up mastering and duplication on the "Christmas Street" Soundtrack in late October as well. The Cd's are selling fast! I can remember when David began working on the music back in February. I am extremely proud of my husband and how the Lord has used him. Many of you may already know but he wrote 11 of the 16 songs on the Cd. They are incredible! God is so faithful, He was precise when He brought the team together for this production. It's hard to believe the show is in less than a week. We are all expecting it to be tremendous. The singers, actors, dancers...all work so very hard. They are incredibly talented. All humble, dedicated and focused. If you haven't yet seen the trailer for Christmas Street, please go to: www.myspace.com/christmasstreet07. There you can sample the music and see a preview of the show. Also, if you are interested in coming to the show or buying a Cd, please email me. We'd love your support and you don't want to miss this amazing show! That being said, Thank you to all who have supported and encouraged us over the last year. We celebrated Thanksgiving last week and David and I had a moment when we shared with each other at the end of the night all that we are so thankful for; from our incredible church, to our amazing friends, our family to the Christmas Street Soundtrack! We are in awe of the hand of the Lord in our lives! We are truly blessed! Below you will see some updated photos from our life over the last few months. We love you and will keep you posted on future projects!
