The Baby is Coming
So yesterday I went to the doctor for my 36 week exam. I was thrilled to hear that I am in the beginning stages of labor. 2+ cm dilated and full term as of Friday! I can't wait to meet our little miracle, Daiden Christopher. He could come anytime now...eeek.
One Week In and Things Are Looking Up
So, ExposedPastor.com has been running for just over a week now. We have reached all 50 states and 27 countries. It is really exciting to see what is happening in the lives of the people watching and the people involved. A lot of transformation has occur ed so far.
I have witnessed growth in myself in a big way. I was very apprehensive about this whole thing to begin with. I tried not to let it get to me, but the week before and the first few days I was a depressed ball of emotions. I came to realize that the enemy is not happy about this project and is going to try to attack in as many ways as possible. He worked on me pretty hard, but God has a way of always pulling through. After a few days of being online and in the chat room I started really seeing what God can and is doing through all this. People are deepening their faith and their understanding of biblical principles, non-believers or seekers are seeking answers to questions that have hindered them from stepping over the line of faith. It is amazing. I have talked to so many people whose lives have been touched and even changed by what we have done in just a week. I feel so privileged to be a part of this.
I have also seen my husband really grow in all this. He, like Clay, is a very private person. He has a very outgoing personality, but it usually takes a minute to come out. He has really stepped up and stepped out into the public eye. He has been so authentic and real about who he is, despite the pressure he is under with this project. I am so proud of him for exposing himself.
And then there's Clay. He has really surprised me through all this. Clay has made it very known that he is a "socially awkward" person. He is definitely and introvert, although you'd never know it from his presence on stage. Clay has been a trooper, being in front of thousands of people for a month is not something I ever pictured him handling very well. I am impressed with how he has handled the pressure of technical difficulties and whatever other opposition has come his way. Not to mention his wife and son being under surveillance. Kim and Cole have been handling this beautifully.
There are many other people involved on the production side of this that have grown exponentially and I feel so fortunate to be a part of this. We really are reaching people and helping them grow and we should all feel blessed for being used by God in such a huge way. Yay Exposed Pastor!

EXPOSED!!!
I can't believe the time has already come. ExposedPastor.com is launching tonight! I am sitting here at the Barefoot Offices while Nick and Parker do the final testing before the launch. I have been really emotional up to this point about Nick being gone so much, but I'm holding it together pretty well. The true test will be going home without my husband tonight. I am really excited though, we are having this huge party with all the staff and their families, it will begin at 8:00pm. the party will be broadcast live on the internet so everyone can join us from the comfort of their homes. There will be prizes and all sorts of stuff. Lives will be changed over the next 30 days. There will be ups and downs, lots of emotions, this will be huge. But tonight we will party!!
it's time to get exposed :)
