I believe God ...I have been in this same situation. I believe God really worked out some stuff in me when I was church shopping here too. I ended up at Elevation too. Now, it is my home. I won't leave Charlotte because of my church now! How much I have grown, learned, been challenged and plugged in. Yay!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17000337039182135273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698103135399184931.post-28895054355829255002012-07-27T11:07:42.375-07:002012-07-27T11:07:42.375-07:00Such an awesome, honest post!!! I actually started...Such an awesome, honest post!!! I actually started reading this the other day while the kids were around and then stopped so I could read it without distractions. (That time did not come until midnight last night, but it was a great way to end my day!)I couldn't agree with you more about the power of a strong church family and plugging into it. What it has done for our marriage and family is nothing short of a miracle. <br />As far as the house hunt goes, I'm praying for you sister. Nat and I lived in his dad's house for 6 months while we searched and then renovated our house. All I can say is, keep that strong faith and DON'T settle. Trust in God's plan always and HE will let you know when you have found the right one. Sending LOTS of love from a state that misses your gorgeous smiles!! SOO thankful I get to get to stay connected through the wonderful world of blogging. Praying for a peaceful last couple weeks. You are SOOOO close!!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01246427282773143515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698103135399184931.post-23074296957612092702012-07-24T10:07:50.319-07:002012-07-24T10:07:50.319-07:00I AM
I was regretting the past
and fearing the fu...I AM<br /><br />I was regretting the past<br />and fearing the future.<br /><br />Suddenly, my Lord was speaking:<br /><br />“My name is I AM”<br /><br />He paused.<br /><br />I waited.<br /><br />He continued:<br /><br />“When you live in the past,<br />with its mistakes and regrets,<br /><br /><br />it is hard.<br />I am not there.<br />My name is not – I WAS.<br /><br />When you live in the future,<br />with its problems and fears,<br />it is hard.<br />I am not there.<br />My name is not – I WILL BE.<br /><br />When you live in this moment,<br />It is not hard.<br />I am here.<br />My name is I AM.”<br /><br />-Helen Mallicoat<br /><br />Saw this and thought of you :) I know sometimes it must see like maybe you didn't do the right thing by moving to Charlotte and that you are scared of what the future holds but just remember that is God is the "I AM" and he will see you through this and bless you and your family more than you can imagine! Love you and praying for you. BTW, I have been following the blog of the pastor and his wife from Elevation for years! It seems like an amazing church...I love the wife's blog! He is from Moncks Corner!!Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15559365244832882627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698103135399184931.post-73648734078089478602012-07-24T06:10:03.278-07:002012-07-24T06:10:03.278-07:00I love you!! I know once you start to feel settled...I love you!! I know once you start to feel settled in a church body you will feel so much more at home there. God has a perfect house out there for you all and it will all be in perfect timing. I know that's so hard to see at this point when there are so many unknowns. I've had my share of unknowns (granted they weren't while we were in a completely new city with almost 3 kids) but I do know that in the midst of the unknowns, he makes himself known and you will see him work. He has a plan in his timing. It's the waiting thing that's just so hard!!! Once he makes his plans known, you will look back on this time and see his provisions and be amazed by what he did! I love you, girl.Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06600219165505579505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698103135399184931.post-34991407292937232262012-07-24T05:43:24.046-07:002012-07-24T05:43:24.046-07:00Tears to my eyes, Lindsy.
