Keep in mind I have never blogged before and I am in need of a full night's rest (hoping Michael doesn't wake me up again tonight). In any fashion...
This morning I was reminded how impatient I can be at times. While we were getting ready for church I found myself wishing our kids would listen and do as I asked. It was only after I stepped back and took a calming breath that I could honestly enjoy what was going on. Yes, ENJOY running behind. How many more times will I have these precious moments with the family? After all, having a four-year-old and a 2-year-old isn't easy. It gets pretty busy (especially working full-time while my husband frequently travels out of state) but having them around is a pure and honest joy! A true blessing from God! Yes, it's true they don't always mind, but how many kids that young do you know mind well?
We tried a new church this morning again, which seems to have become the norm lately. We are trusting God to lead us to where He would have us be at this point in life's journey. We have certainly met some wonderul people along the way and have seen some we haven't seen for a while! Either way, it's great to see the many different ways He is praised! I also find it very refreshing to be in His word among other believers from different churches. I think sometimes when we have gone to one church for such a long time we often find ourselves 'fitting in' simply because we are comfortable. I know this is how I felt when I was younger; it was difficult to give up basically the only church I had ever known. Once I did, though, I found out there was much more than I thought I knew! It's amazing how that one transition can lead into so many new paths! It was after this transition I came to know some dear, close friends with whom I could confide in and be myself, and actually found out there was Christian music on the radio, not just the Hymn book! Simple, I know, but it also led me to my husband and allowed me to use my musical gifts for God!
I am trusting God will continue to show me more opportunities as we search for a church as a family. I thank Him for the many blessings he has brought to my family, and I praise him through the difficult times. He is truly an AWESOME God!
Until next time....
