If you say so, God
I finally found a new church home, or rather it found me.
I took Em home last night. and on the way I passed Light of Christ Lutheran. They were studying how we sometimes get more than we bargained for.
A "This is not not the life I ordered" T-shirt was suggested. I was feeling pretty full of peace at this point. I have had a enough years of "Not wants" but "if you say so God, I guess" years. I am sure God had be turn down that road and spot those cars in the parking lot so I would walk in to the church with my Old Friend Don's Milan Transit shirt and sit in on the confab.
Last month I saw the pastor Paul at Trinity Lutheran in Port Huron on a off day when I started work later on Sunday. So I wondered where they were in Marysville since that day. I figured a high school. Surprise only a few blocks from Em's house. Maybe my kids Em and Zak can attend church since it close to where they live with their dad.
I have been seeking a church ever since last October when I started a Thursday through Monday job, and Monday became my Friday and I was still in the middle of those " If you say so, I guess, God" days . You know, "thy will be done" stuff, even when you cannot figure out how that can be right since it feels like the world is cracking up like a piece of ice. Anyway, I am so glad I filled that hole in my life while my cup is running over like it is, no maybe I can be of help to the new congregation.
So any way, I felt like I only had one thing to ask for. I asked them to pray for Howard , my kids' grampa, who was ailing so he became well. Then , I guess God pulled another "if you say so about his will being done. He took Howard today to live with him in Heav'n. So maybe the " Not wants are happening to the other side of the family for a while. I hope they'll make it through these next few difficult days.
Still and all, I am, amazed at the blessings I keep having heaped on my head lately and I pray I don't look like I am full of pride on that account. But its been nice that God has shined a little light my way these last few months, I hope I don't blow it or take it for granted. I'll have to blog later on that topic.
