Hello
It is the night before the final day of school for the year 2010. We started this new curriculum and I really love it. I almost felt bad leaving the BJU Press but it is accountability I needed, and my children LOVE IT! It is called Classical conversations, and it is biblical based and very cool. I do owe a big thank you to my friend who introduced it to me and well...Thank you!!!!
I know you have read about the adoption and yes I am going to home school ALL four children. I am ready for the new children to come to school and get to know the kids and feel comfortable with the changes. I am not starting them in a class until we do some English work at home first.
I am really seeing God work in all we do. He is most definitely in complete control over here.
I do want to say this weekend coming up is going to be a very big and busy one. Sunday is Christmas at GG's house and the Christmas Program at Church. I know that we will be sleeping in on Monday!
Oh by the way, the reason why I named this one prayer is because I have a prayer request. Besides the adoption, travel, and family changing. We are now in the process of finding a new church. We loved the church we have attended for the last five years but Rich and I feel it is time to move on. I do not now about you but when changing churches it is a happy sad experience. We new the time was coming due to things happening in the body. We also felt we need to do this before the kids come home so they do not have any big changes when they first come home. We will be out and visiting some old friends at their churches and seeing family and friends that we have been missing so much. I am asking for prayer because as you know I am not good with conflict or change in these ways. Pray for the peace and clarity in all we do, pray God gets all glory in our obedience to His call, and that our adoption is also honoring and glorifying to Him.
Once again Thank you all who read

We had to make a move to a new church about 5 years ago, after being at another church for 7 years. We knew it was time to move on for various reasons, and I just prayed that God would lead us where we should be, and He did. Our church is a perfect fit for us. We have grown so much in our walk with the Lord and are maturing in the faith. It is not easy to make the move, but when you are where God wants you to be, you will know without a doubt it is where you should be and you will be so blessed!

Praying for you guys. We walked this road together in the past and even if we are not together in person this time round, know that we are there with you guys in prayer! Love you and miss you!
ReplyDeleteOh Bridget, how we love you guys and will miss you. If this is God's call on your life, you of course must follow it. Let me say, Terry and I so respect the way you are going about this. We too have had to leave a church of 15 yrs. upon God's calling us out. We learned over the years there are right ways and wrong ways to leave a church. The right ways are blessed and the other ways are not. If you do have any constructive comments that would be helpful for leadership to be aware of, please write an edifying letter to the elders. We all want to learn what God has for us in all this! Praying God will bless your stepping out in faith if you must go(I will still pray you may not have to tho!) as He did Abraham! He didn't know where he was going either, but what a blessed journey it was! Be blessed and know you are loved!
