Well, I've been in Hinesville, GA for 4 days now. Sometimes it seems like longer - still getting used to being away and to hotel living - but today was a great day. I had chosen a church to attend in a town about 20 minutes away. While driving there, I felt a bit dicouraged about being away from home. I was driving during a light rain, following recently expired thunderstorm and tornado warnings. I was really hoping that I would enjoy this congregation and experience a meaningful worship service today. While driving, I asked God to direct me to the right place.
Well, to my delight, the service and congregation were very similar to that of my home church! I counted at least 8 simillarities. When I looked up into the choir and saw a woman who has recently moved to the area but used to be in the choir at my home church in New Orleans, I was again convinced that God cares about the details of our lives! He truly blessed me today! Of course, (Rebekah, you'll appreciate this...) I cried throughout the service - tears of joy and comfort and relief... I know I'll be okay here!

Lynette, you remind me of Proverbs 3:6, In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. You asked for His direction, and He blessed you for doing so! I also love reading the blog/updates on what goes on in this path you have chosen at this time in your life. Will be praying for your safety & happiness! Love ya' Trish
three weddings, huh? maybe this is a sign of a man to come or maybe it's just three weddings. HA!
I know you are going to do good things there so enjoy exploring and know you will be missed! God is good and you are on the right path.
Love Carmen
You're right...I did appreciate that you cried! You know no one can cry in my presence without me joining them...well, this apparently applies to blogs, too...I got a little misty. Missing you, but excited to see how the Lord will use this to make you more like Him.
xoxo
