Overwhelming Eggs

It has not yet even come but so far this year, Easter is crazytown! Our Doxa Community Church was given the opportunity to put on the egg hunt for all of Renton. We have posted precious fliers throughout the city, Brian has posted much information on neighborhood websites, and we have even been advertised in places we do not yet know. So Morgan Morgan, the wonderful wifey of Brian Morgan, received a phone call yesterday warning us to expect bazillions of youngins. Though this is the best problem to have, I am overwhelmed by what we have gotten ourselves into! (Also, my apostrophe key is not working and that also makes me overwhelmed.) The thought of someone coming to our Easter Service this Sunday because of being invited at the hunt and then falling in love with Jesus is so incredible. Doxa events around such holidays do not tend to go so well so it is more than easy to be faithless. But at this point my little heart is leaping for much joy; joy that comes from Jesus working in hearts!
Then Morgan got another call today from the folks who send the plastic easter eggs. And it does not look like they will get to us until Saturday evening. Our Renton Hunt is Saturday morning. So we are in a pickle. And are even more so because Toys R Us does not have any in stock. The Auburn location did not even receive any Easter products at all. What. The. Heck.
So pray for us! I am not too worried as we will certainly find a way. Servant hearted Morgan is out shopping to find what she can, my lovely mother and sisters are doing what they can to scramble up as many eggs from our childhood as possible, and God always provides. But we need all the help we can get. So pray for us and come to Doxa on Sunday Morning at 10 am  to hear about the incredible, scandalous story of Jesus Christ.
