Rewind

This past weekend we went back to our Church home of almost 20 years. It was not the first time we have been back to visit but today was the 3rd anniversary weekend of my Grandfathers death. Sunday Feb 18th 2007 was the day he went to be with Jesus, so it was somewhat fitting to go back and see the Church he loved and prayed for everyday while he was here. It wasn't long after Poppie Emmett's passing that we found ourselves looking for a new place to worship. That year was difficult, lonely and scary.

Sometimes I have wondered many times what I look like inside since I have begun to worship in a new way, or whether "we" as a unit have suffered or "we" have made a mistake or been selfish. I've cried so many tears and have ached in places that were so dark and deep that I never thought I could feel the same again. Today was a strange but wonderful thing to feel the love and warmth of those who are such a big part of our families history. However a long awaited answer was given to both Jeff and I today.

Our family has been very blessed the past three years. Whatever the hurtful moment was that caused us to feel led away God was with us. Whatever we missed or ached for God was able to fill us. Whatever we've needed as we have been more isolated to our tiny family unit in prayer and support we have been able to feel Him and see Him at work. In our daily lives God has brought us so many miracles financially, through moms healing, through the celebration of our new beautiful daughter in law and so much more.

I am so thankful for the love each of my kids has for their God. I am so thankful for the place God has allowed me to be in ministry. My ministry is to care for my family, my husband, baby Legacy and her momma and our wonderful awesome MNU football family (boys). What a blessed life I live. What a blessed place to be!

Thank You Lord for your constant guidance and for keeping us on our toes. Thank you Lord that when we obey you even through pain and suffering you are able to reward and bless our lives. What a fellowship you have for us......!

What a fellowship of what a joy divine

Leaning on the everlasting arms
What a blessedness what a peace of mind
Leaning on the everlasting arms

Leaning, leaning safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning leaning on the everlasting arms
