So my title is a sad attempt at Elmer Fudd, but I am feeling a bit loopy today! I don't like church hunting. It is so hard. You never know what to expect. Today we went to the Westley church around the corner from us. It is a quaint church the preaching was solid, they were very mission minded, but, notice the quaint? There were just about a dozen people there, only one person near our age (She was the pastors Granddaughter), and when I peaked in the nursery it looked like it had not been used in a while. This is hard. We also went to the evening service at the First Southern Baptist Church. We had gone to the morning service last week. It is among the possabilaties but we are going to pray and seek God's guidance. We don't need to join the first church we go to. We know that he has a plan for us here. We just have to rely on Him and follow His desire for our family.
I am reading Redeming Love by Francine Rivers. I highly recomend it! but there is a line
"Oh, God, it's not the way had things planned. But then, what of real, lasting value ever is?"
This line really has resounded lately. Gods plans are always far better than what we could plan for ourselves.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. " Jeremiah 29:11
Now for something more fun:
Yes, that is my daughter under the shopping cart. We were at Wal-Mart and Adam put her down to walk around. The next thing we knew she was under the cart! Crazy girl! She eventually got her self out, it was hilarious to watch!

Boy, that must be hard. I've never had that problem b/c where ever I've lived my church was already established there -- even in Taiwan. I'm sure you will be prayerful in your choice, & I would be more than happy to forward some info. about our church for you. Love, Sarah
