Last night we had the opportunity to visit the church we've attended for the bulk of the last three or four years. It was so awesome! We went to hear a visiting pastor from Haiti share, because we are going to be sponsoring children in his school. It was so good to see familiar and friendly faces. It was so good to feel missed and to have folks genuinely glad to see us. I say this, because I know as of late, I've been harsh about some of my experiences and feelings about churches today. I want you to understand that I am not anti-church. I do see churches falling short, but churches are made up of people and even good people are still sinners. It is meant to encourage single mothers, to know that they are not alone, because many have experienced what I've shared. Once we can stop taking it personally, it's easier to deal with and pray for those who have hurt us. It was also a blessing to listen to my almost 8 y.o. son, as some very well thought out questions -- when did that kid get so smart? He has a heart fot the orphans in general and for those in Haiti especially. It was so cool to watch him talking to the visiting Pastor, after the service -- or trying to, there was a slight language barrier. Interestingly, the Love of Christ seems to bridge that gap.
