New Beginings!

So Sunday was a new Begining for our Family. We attended the third service at His light on the Hill in Sun City. It was a surprisingly short drive to get there, it was weird to think that it has been there right around the corner all along. The last month or so things have been coming together and this church has just been right there. Rich has ran into several people from the church asking us to come and visit sometime. My mother and i attended a Womens in ministry conferance with the Ag women at the teen Challenge Castle and who sat by us at lunch, The women from His light. Looking back on these last few weeks i see know that God knew what he was doing and knew that it would be hard for us to start over and was helping us to move on.
Sunday was rather emmotional for me still. Richard had to take Gabriel to the Nursery because i was almost in tears just thiking of it. Michael was upset because it was a strange new place. He told me "Mama, i wish we could just go back to our church. I wish we could go there forever. These people are strangers." I couldn't hold back the hurt and tears as i sat there in a new church lobby trying to explain to my son that it would be ok and that these people wouldn't be strangers once we got to know them and that it would be alright, even though deep inside my heart was screaming the same thing and i didn't completely believe it myself. But we Got them to their classes and found a seat in the big church ourselves. At first it was too hard to concentrate because of all the emmotions inside me. I was angry of course that my son would have to feel that way and that what he had always known had been ripped away from him so carelessly on the part of others who could care less about him or his little heart. But then i realized that this was necessary because i was saving my son from a life that i had lived and knew that i wanted something more for him. My children deserve so much more then the same old thing every generation. I can see our future here and i am already excited for what is to come. This church has so much to offer my family and we can grow here together as a family. The Pastor is wonderful and for the first time in a long time i was able to relax, breathe, and enjoy a message and recieve from it and i feel as though i grew so much in just that one service. It was Basic but true, to the point and honest, but exactly what everyone needs to know and here. He spoke about letting God Speak to us. I know that sometimes things get so hectic at times that i am guilty of not listening and not letting God speak to me. I am ready to Listen now and i am excited for what is to come.
Change is scary but it is Good and it is needed. Sometimes we get stuck in the same old routine that we fail to hear from God because we believe that we are already doing all that he has for us to do. But i know that God has so much more for us if we would just listen and trust in him.
