So thankful for friends

I am so blessed to have the friends that I have. They are the best! They are sticking by our sides, holding us up in prayer and just being there for us during this time of uncertainty. Two of my best friends and co-workers in our homeschooling co-op came over to our house last night to plan the co-op for the year and it turned into an impromptu girls night! We planned from 2:30pm until about 7pm and then went out to dinner. It was a great day/night filled with sharing what was on our hearts, praying about those things, getting everything ready for the co-op, laughter, food and more laughter! It was a great day yesterday and I am so thankful to have these friends!

Today, we are headed to the lake, after school, of course, with these same friends and their families to join in on some water fun! Its going to be so much fun for all! I just cannot be more thankful for our friends!!

Changes and Earthquake

We are going through a major change here and while we have peace about it, its just really sad. We have been attending church at the same place since we moved here almost 2yrs ago. We love the people, they are some of the nicest people I have ever been around, and we love the pastors. We became involved in the youth bc we know thats where we are supposed to be and it was great! Then, some changes happened within the leadership and its been a hot mess every sense. We have talked to our pastor 3 times about it all and it just wasn't working for our family anymore. So, we made the decision Sat to move on and find another church. Our pastor did come out to our house on Sat night and talk with us but we just can't do it anymore. Now, that being said, if God told us to go back, we would. We are praying and just being quiet and listening right now. Its the only thing we can do. We are asking God for guidance. We know that He has already ordered our footsteps so we are relaxing in that. But, is it ever sad. Our friends that we have made there....well, they will always be our friends. I'm going to miss the youth so badly. I love them so much...its just hard. But, we have to do what is best for our family and trust God to lead us.

In other news...lol....we felt the tremors from the earthquake that happened in VA! We are in NC and Hannah came downstairs a little while ago and told me her room was shaking and it was scaring her. I didn't think much bc the kitchen was shaking a little but I figured it was from the rinse cycle on the washing machine....nope, it was from the earthquake! Weird, huh?
