    And now… The rest of the story!!!

    I originally posted this during a very difficult time of our lives. My husband was a full time minister and he was working a full time job as a machinist. We were very concerned about our daughter, not only in her lack of desire to pray, but also the fact that she had no desire to go to church. We began to be convicted about the need to change some things in our hectic world. Last May, we spent a month in prayer asking God to lead us. God put such a conviction on our hearts that we needed to change the direction of our lives for our daughters sake. So much so, that my husband resigned the church and we moved from NJ to a rural part of TX. We have watched God provide so much in the last several months!!!

    This morning I sat there listening from the other room as my husband was doing Bible time with our dd8. I was overwhelmed with amazement at a man who would give up so much for his child. I don’t think my husband realizes what an amazing example of God’s love he is showing. (Giving up the 99 to go and look for the one little lost sheep). Only eternity will show the full impact of the sacrifices he has made.

    My dd is loving where we go to church and has many Christian friends for the first time in her life. She is also praying on her own and with us now. There is something amazingly sweet about hearing your dc talk to God, especially after all the concern and struggle we have gone through. She is even taking it upon herself to invite our neighbors and friends to come to church with us.

    It is an awesome thing to realize how much more God loves our dc than even we do!!!

    Just felt led to share this with you all!!! Hope each of you have a blessed day!!!!
