I made it!! Here i am, on the other side of the "Monday" as it were. THe kids all had a very much needed day off due to snuffy noses and stuffy attitudes! LOL Could there be a connection? OK- I can admitt it! I had a stuffy nose too. (and maybe a tiny stuffy attitude
, this little guy shows how my head felt most of the day). But my eye balls did not pop out and my sanity is still in tact, though not by far! LOL My whole family has been dealing with an attitude isee for the past couple of weeks. We are looking for a home church and I am so aggravated. The circumstances surrounding our "quest" are quite simple: the building that our church body was renting got sold. I know God has a plan, but I would rather He reveal it to me in plain text format and not in some ancient scroll format! LOL I have learned so much through this though. I have been encouraged, humbled, saddened, overjoyed, and the list goes on. I have come to realize many things about who I was as a Christian. I have been judgmental. I have hato ask for forgivness more times than I can recall. And I know I have grown and gained some strength in my faith. I just feel lonely. I am a very social person. And I feel like a stranger amongst other Christians. But my devotion time with my kids is alot deeper thanit used to be. I found that I used to rely too much on what my kids learned in Sunday school and not enough on what I should be teaching them. I took much for granted and have had the amazing experience of some very deep conversations with my kids. I know we are being led; we are not stranded. so I know that there is an aventual destination in all of this. If you have been where I am, give a holler my way. I would love to hear from you.
In His love ~ Niki

We do plan to find a body with which to associate, however, this has been a neat break in that we're learning what Christianity can look like - not just what some doctrinal statement says it is.
Enjoy the break!
