The Road Ahead Of Us

Chapter 19

Sunday, April 21st, 2019

Since Brenda's ankle wasn't as bad as everyone thought, and she was able to get her cast off on the 17th, 4 days ago, and she was pretty much back to normal, and was allowed to wear heels again, no matter how bad Sam didn't want her too. They got up early Sunday morning and got ready for church. The Evans, Brenda, Chris, Kevin, and The O'Neil's (Which now included Donna), went to church. The glee members, if they even went to church, went to different churches, but were going to the house afterwards to help all the little kids decorate Easter eggs and hide them. Donna suggested the egg hunt be at their house, since there was more room and places to hide the eggs. Sam, Chord, Chris, Kevin, Puck, and Finn helped Terry and his kids move in, and then they helped Chord and Mercedes move their little bit of stuff into their new apartment in town. Sam, Stacy and Brenda were all going to sing songs in church today.

"Well, don't you look beautiful in your dress. And heels." Sam said, wrapping his arms around Brenda and kissing her shoulder. She rolled her eyes and laughed.

"Look, I know you don't want me to wear heels, but I'll be fine. I mean, Terry said I was perfectly fine to wear heels again." Sam was still pouting so she said,"Would it make you feel any better if my ankle starts hurting, I'll take them off?"

"Yeah, but I don't want it to start hurting."He said, trying to hold back laughter.

"You know what I mean! I don't know how to word it." He laughed and everyone left. After opening prayer, and Preacher Larry talking for about 30 minutes, it was time for Stacy to sing. She was singing 'How Can It Be' by Lauren Daigle.

I am guilty
Ashamed of what I've done, what I've become
These hands are dirty
I dare not lift them up to the Holy one

You plead my cause, you right my wrongs
You break my chains, you overcome
You gave your life to give me mine
You say that I am free
How can it be, how can it be?

I've been hiding
Afraid I've let you down, inside I doubt
That you still love me
But in your eyes there's only grace now

You plead my cause, you right my wrongs
You break my chains, you overcome
You gave your life to give me mine
You say that I am free
How can it be, how can it be?

Though I fall, you can make me new
From this death I will rise with you
Oh, the grace reaching out for me
How can it be, how can it be?

You plead my cause, you right my wrongs
You break my chains, you overcome
You gave your life to give me mine
You say that I am free

You plead my cause, you right my wrongs
You break my chains, you overcome
You gave your life to give me mine
You say that I am free
How can it be, how can it be?

There was light clapping and Brenda stood up to sing her song. She's singing 'In Christ Alone'.

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless Babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save

Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live, I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
