It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!!!

I LOVE Christmas Time!!! It's hard to believe it's already that time of year again...but if my schedule is any indication, the holidays have definitely arrived! :)

Christmas can officially begin now that Silverdale Baptist's Christmas Tea has taken place. I had the privilege of being part of the program this year. (Do I look like Mary?!?) I portrayed the moment when God invited Mary to be part of his unbelievable plan for humanity, an invitation she never expected and never could have dreamed up on her own. As usual in circumstances like these, God had lessons for me to learn through the experience and I ended up feeling like I took away more than I contributed. God is sweet like that.


This year the tea was five nights and over 2400 women were able to attend. It's always so incredible to see how God orchestrates EVERY tiny detail of the tea - from the songs and script of the program to the people who attend - nothing is by chance. I was blessed to have some old friends and some new friends sit with me on Friday night at my table. Aren't they lovely?!!

A big thank you to Eddie Damron for once again coming through with some awesome pictures for everyone at the tea! He makes us look good!

Keep an eye on my schedule (www.heatherbateman.com) for upcoming dates. This Friday, I'll be at Lookout Valley Baptist's Christmas Tea and Sunday morning, I'll be at New Bethel Baptist Church. I'd love to see you there!
