About Me

I am the mother of two beautiful girls, Chloe 7 and Olivia6. I also have a 12 year old step-daughter Donna aho I am blessed to have in my life. My husband John and I have been married for the past 8 years. It's been a long hard road but because of Gods' awesome mercy we are together today. Our family just recently moved from Indiana to Georgia. It has been quite an experience packing up and moving away from everything we know.There is a time to carry our burdens alone, a time to share a prayer with a friend and a time to cast it all upon Jesus. I pray this will be a place to share in our burdens, we don't always have to carry it alone. This is my journey in what God is teaching me daily. I also pray it will be a place for you to join in to share our burdens but not only our burdens but the joy of Christ.

Answered Prayer

So I need to give God some props. Night before last as I was going to bed I prayed that He would show me if we were at the church He wanted us to be at. I questioned it only because John hasnt felt a real connection where we are. So anyway, I got up today and needed to go get my dad and step-daughter birthday cards. So after I dropped lunch off to John at work I stopped at Hallmark. Anyhoo, when I went to pay she asked for my Gold Crown Rewards card and as I gave it to her I asked her how to change my address for it, since I was still getting coupons sent to our old address. She gave me a card to fill out and then put it in her computer system there. She asked where we came from and what brought us there. I told her and thanked her and went to leave. As I was leaving there was a display of Jelly Bellys(YUM), a bag of Dr. Pepper jelly bellys caught my eye. They are Olivias favorite so I bought her a bag for part of her birthday gift(yes Christmas just got over and already we have 5 b-days in our family w/in one month,UGH,I mean yay for their birth, and boo for our wallets) When I went back to the register the lady happened to ask me if we were looking for a church and invited me to hers which her dad just retired from being the pastor(he happened to be there and I met him) and they have recently hired a new one. I told her where we have been attending but that we were still trying to see where we fit. She gave me a card with her church info I thanked her and left. As I walked out the door I smiled and started to cry, I was amazed at how quickly God had answered my prayer. I dont know if it will be the place for us, but u never know what He has for us. I just thought it was pretty awesome what He did.

That is how you get to where you are supposed to be! It can be a journey! That is how we found Lake. We visited other churches, and attended Fairview for about 3 monthes but I didn't feel any "connection" there. So we continued to look. We came through the door at Lake and we were home. I cried when I knew we were home! The Lord wants you to be plugged in and fed! I know you will find the right church as long as you don't give up on the journey. It's like the Selah/ Rascal Flats song, Broken ROad. That doesn't just go for the Love of a mate, that can go for the journey that Lord takes us through called LIFE! We have to be able to see the darkness to appreciate the light! I hope your journey is short and you can plug in!
