Still Here!!

I knew it would be difficult to keep blogging regularly once school started and I went back to work, but I feel like a serious slacker!

HE has been hard at work inside of me. I have to make a confession... I have not been living up to my potential or my calling as the future (and current) spiritual leader in my relationship. I have spent several Sundays snoozing away while worship went on without me.

Thank goodness HE gave me a good Mama. :-) She has been hard at work praying for me as well (and I would ask that you do the same) for my heart to have a renewed desire to spend time with HIM in HIS house.

Two Sundays in a row, people! I've even been going to a new church - LifePoint Church in Smyrna. The young pastor is passionate and powerful, and the music is just awesome. HE has truly moved me by speaking through the messages and the music.

I have gone alone both weeks - something that is not easy for me to do at all. Last week, I had a fun surprise waiting for me when I got there. One of the new teachers from school and her husband were sitting a few rows in front of me. I sat with some new neighbor friends AND my good friend Anita who lost her own husband to cancer just a few weeks ago. She was "unequally yoked" like many of us, and we have shared many conversations, tears and prayers over the last few years. I was overjoyed to see her at church, and we have committed to going together in the weeks to come.

I continue to pray for both of us, that HE will lead us in the months and years to come. I pray that HE will work and move in Bryan's heart, melting the resistance he shows to giving it all over to GOD. I pray that HE will remind me daily to "put on love" and keep the resentful feelings at bay that pop up when I worship and pray on my own.

Thank you for stopping to check in on me!

Abby,

Good to hear from you again. Don't worry about not able to blog when you are busy. I cut down on blogging too whenever necessary.

I am remembering you, Bryan and Nattie in prayers. May God continue to bless you as you seek Him in worship. Thank you for stopping by my blog. Take care and may God bless you always!

Love,
Nancie
