We had one lady ask, "Since we know you are with us temporarily, what is your view on being a part of this body? Do you feel that when you leave, you are still a part?" I answered without hesitation, "Yes. While moving is painful, it is a GROWING pain, not the severing of a limb. Matt and I love and pray for and remain in contact with our previous church homes, because they are FAMILY. And it is our pleasure to do so. " It is true... and what is an even more humbling fact is that I can see how the Lord has used our *family* across this country to grow us up where and when we needed it. He is the divine coordinator, and I am so grateful for the undeserved grace He has given to this broken vessel in the form of fellowship with the saints! xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14235691054427832677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048162996493627115.post-39185660917595569522012-07-16T11:51:23.892-07:002012-07-16T11:51:23.892-07:00What a beautiful post!

We feel so loved by you all, and it is such a great feeling to be sent out by such a confident-in-us-and-what-God-is-doing-through-us church. We were sad to leave, but so glad that God chose to grant us such a rich, safe and loving place to grow for the season we were there. I can't wait for heaven when we all get to worship together again! All glory be to God, and thank you for turning my heart toward worship today with this blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
