I really feel blessed and I feel the movement of Great proportion going on in Christ's Church.We had been searching for quite some time for a Church that would preach and teach from the Bible.This may not seem like a big feat for some,but in our area it was.This journey was a long one,but as we look back to where God had taken us through,He was Glorified and we gained wisdom.But through it all there was Peace-Psalm 52:55-Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.
There was discouragement,sadness,and pity involved.But looking back I get blessed everytime.The sadness,discouragement and pity were necessary for us to grow in Him.Isaiah 40:31-Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
We don't have to lean on our own undertanding-Psalm 147:5-Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite.
My blessings are from the people in our Church family-our new Church Family-We have found a home where the thirst is quenched and the Truth is spoken!That the Love of God abounds with God's Word abounding!!I feel so very loved by my Savior!I cannot express the Joy.Oh I Know,my journey is not done.
I hope to know my Lord more everyday,and to be so severely grateful He saved me!!Psalm 40:2-He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm.
Our new Church is growing just in recent months and the common thread that we hear from our fellow believers is "I am so excited,the Truth is being taught here"-The Joy in their faces and tears on my face,testify to the fact that our Father brought us together- This blesses us because this is our story and our journey.The excitement and the joy!!The faces of long journeys that have been traveled for a purpose,for His Glory!!We do pray for the Church and we do see the divisions but we know the apostles had division also-Romans 16 :17-Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them.
We see the people turning away from the teaching of mans ways and turning toward Biblical teaching, God's ways!And we know that our Lord is keeping watch and we can trust Him with our All and All!!-Ephesians 6:18-With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints.
Hebrews 3:6-but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house-- whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end
