Beginning this  Sunday, we will be going back to our previous church that we had been to for three years. I have met some wonderful people at this most recent congregation, but on the whole, the other is just a better fit for us--kind of how your hand fits into that perfect glove, although that specific glove wouldn't fit every body's hand! Even though this church is NOT perfect, it still fits us better. There isn't anything wrong with the one we've been at and I thank God that we do not have to leave under difficult circumstances. I almost don't even think I want to say that I'll miss those at the one we are saying goodbye to because why should we not see each other other days of the week when we can? ( see a couple of paragraphs down.)

 It's just one of those decisions that God will bless because we are so wanting to be in His will and as long as we are keeping our eyes on Him, we can claim the promise of Romans 8:28.

My husband was the one who wanted to leave in the first place and we left because it seemed the right thing to do at the time for personal reasons, but he has humbly admitted that this decision was wrong and has asked the pastors of the previous church to let us come back.

This is a big step for him-- lots of people would just show up and say, "Here we are!!" but he is doing this the right way and making sure that we would be welcome.
 
 I am also hoping that as a sister in Christ, the other ladies of this newer group that we have come to for 3 mo. would not hesitate to consider having coffee every once in a while. It is difficult to get together when your lives are in different stages: mine being the preschool/toddler/expecting new baby and dealing with naps and all that stuff wanting to get together with women who may be homeschooling older children       (When their school day ends, it's time for my kids to sleep!!! Not easy getting around those schedules!) and some women are done raising their children and so have other priorites.
I just want to always remember that it matters not where you are worshipping or who you worship with (well, that is as long as they are not apostate or a cult!), that we will be worshipping and dining at the BIG BANQUET together, eventually ( or who knows, maybe tomorrow). I will be having these same schedule glitches at the other church as well because most of those sisters DO have children older than mine or the same age with older siblings, so they are busy in a.m. with homeschooling and then Naps! But that's okay!
Let's just not wait until we are at His banqueting table to fellowship every so often.

Well I have a mental list of things I wanted to accomplish tonight while Hubby is away at Bible Study with his friend, so off I go to start on my list:
* Finish replacing last three buttons on a blouse
* Iron some scrap fabric
*Hem two little dresses that I finally got gathered skirts on!
*Get double stroller OUT of trunk ( still kicking myself for forgetting it was there and then finding out AFTER I had bought groceries!)
*Put my sewing tote into the trunk
* Drink my snapple
*Eat some chocolate!

Have yourselves a wonderful evening or day ( if you are reading this on Friday!)
