When we found our new church, a big part of it was about getting involved.
That scares me.
It scared my hubs too.
We are home bodies.
We run off schedules and Q has a witching hour that prevents us from being out at night.
But our Pastor kept
nagging encouraging us to try out a small group close to us.
So finally we did one Friday night.
And we were late.
Because the train that brings my husband home is ALWAYS late when we need it to be on time.
And I was flustered because things were not going according to how I wanted it.
Not as planned.
But we walked into the home.
And they had snacks.
Now, if you know me at all... I love sweets.
The way to my heart is a cupcake.
Or a donut.
Or a cookie.
Ok, you get it.
And coffee.
They had sweets and coffee.
And I felt relaxed already.
But baby Q was with.
And he was exploring.
So during prayer requests and heartfelt talk, I was rescuing peoples coffee cups from the grips of my sweet boy.
We re-grouped for our couples time and hubs heard maybe 10 seconds of it.
Q was tired and hungry and ready to be done.
We left slightly discouraged that we would never be able to go back because of a cranky baby.
Enter the best mother-in-law ever.
She agreed to watch Q every Friday night that we needed her to.
No hesitation.
That's the back story.
So for the past few weeks we have been discussing big change at small group.
How and where is God calling you to be or do?
Last Sunday started a new series at church about, you guessed it!
Big change.
I wrestle with ideas as they come up.
Is this what God really wants or is it me wanting it and saying it's what he wants?
Do you think if we do this it will be glorifying to Him?
For the past 7-8 months money has been a huge burden in our home.
Without going too much into detail, we tend to spend as if we both make an income.
While doing that brings us instant gratification, in the long run it is hurting us.
We have nothing left over to give back because we are consumed with,
"Well I deserve this for putting up with a teething baby."
"It's on sale."
"I haven't gotten anything for myself for a long time."
All about me, me, me.
I'm ashamed because of it.
Is this the big change God is calling us out on?
Stop idolizing money and focus on Him?
Also for the past few weeks we have felt that Minnesota is not our forever home.
We have no idea where we will end up, but we are praying for answers.
Will you pray for us?
For guidance and discipline?
For us to make the right decisions and to be silent enough to hear God?
We really would appreciate it.
