Busy Man Isaac

We've been very busy lately with all of Isaac's latest commitments to career and church. His business is up and running, and we are worn out! Isaac was in St. Louis the last week of July while I shopped for decorations for his office. The firm has been so great to Isaac, but his office needed some serious help. He just started with a desk, two hunter green rolling chairs, and a hunter green client chair in a blank box of a room with one hunter green accent wall (lovely-got to love the hunter green!). I kinda felt like I was on an episode of Design Star during the white box challenge, and sadly, I would not have won due to budget restraints! Now Isaac looks like he works in Kirkland's...but hey, it is warm, inviting, and cozy. As soon as he got back from St. Louis, we hit Tampa's Back 2 School Bash to advertise 529 college savings plans and make client contacts. We both worked 12 days in a row and basically laid around the house all this past weekend recovering.

After the Back 2 School Bash ended, we head over to church so that Isaac could attend the Deacon Ordination Service. Here is a picture below of Isaac giving his testimony (notice the blurriness-he did not stop moving one time while he was on that stage!).

His testimony was only supposed to last 90 seconds, but he started with the line, "since I'm the last to give my testimony, I don't have any time constraints." He started off with a joke, then said the word "hell" twice (but in context, it was not a bad word, but still), and then ended with a bunch of amens, deacon head nodding, and applause. Pastor got up after Isaac sat down and laughing said, "well, thank you, Brother Isaac". I wish I had videotaped him-he was just too much. The end of the service was especially precious as all of the deacons came up front and prayed for both of us. We are both looking forward to serving in this capacity and making more friends within our church.
