Hello blog world. Oh how I have neglected you. Well I do feel that there is much to update on. First of all, the most exciting news...I am now a part of church planting! My last blog spoke about the beginnings of perhaps being a part of this. It has now come into play and I was right about feeling the nudge from God. He threw me in full fledged, and I am soo excited about greater things that have yet to come. I have become part of a ministry called Rhythm that happens in Roanoke on Thursday nights. It came from going to this that I really felt the tug on my heart to follow our leader into this church vision. I am ready and geared to be a part of a body that is going to be diving deep into the Word and disciple others whole-heartedly! I have come to know many people from going to Rhythm. Great friendships are being made and I love that! I just cannot believe that I ever worried that I was going to be this lonely, sad person over the summer. The exact opposite has happened! What a wonderful gift!
On a more serious note, things is my family are really going through a shift. My mom is getting re-married. If I am being completely honest, which most of the time I am, I am dealing with this the best I know how. I completely support my mom and could not be more happy for her. But with every step that she takes in moving forward, it slowly kicks my dad out of the picture. This is the way it should be for her, but it stinks for the kids. I do like the man she is going to marry. He treats her well and makes her happy. No one could ask for better. He is a great leader and I know that he will support her in anything she does. He pretty much does not possess much that my dad did, which is good or else there would be a comparison game. He is a lot quieter than my dad though which is totally weird. I get my loud mouth from my dad so I'm not used to the house being so quiet! haha. But whatever, new things!
Also, as of this week, my family has gotten some rather scary news. There is a chance that my sister has cancer. The doctor wants her to get an MRI because he is basically looking for cancer in her back. Unfortunately her insurance is not wanting to cover it, so it has become a nightmare. Luckily, our doctor has graciously taken over and become fight club on the insurance on our behalf. There is definitely the chance that she does not have cancer, but of course this does scare me that she might. I just cannot imagine going through this all over again. I have tried to keep my attitude up, to just put my Trust in the Lord that everything is going to work out, but it is totally hard. So if you read this, please pray. I will try to update on this topic more often so that you may know what is going on.
All in all, life is wonderful! God is good and I am so excited to see how He works because either way, it will be for His glory!
