A new year. A new beginning. Where are we headed?

Wow, it has been one wild ride for our family this year. It began last spring when we began praying about where God was calling us as a family to attend church.It was a touch decision but God showed us that we needed to move forward and start new. We ended up at Freshwater church in Wadsworth.It has been a new beginning for all of us.The neat thing is that, as we were actually seeking and searching for our place in our new church. Jeff and I were actually being still and trying to hear the voice of God and His direction and guidance for each us including our children.
     Jeff has a passion for leading worship, and being involved in bringing others closer to Christ through worship or even just simple gatherings with other men. He has also blossomed into spreading God's truth to not only teens, but also to the little ones through Sunday day morning worship and learning times.
     Myself, well...let's just say that I am still being quiet before the Lord. Patiently waiting for His push or shove to move me into the path he wants for me. For me, I am still unsettled in my walk with Christ and am not sure of where He wants me but most importanly what it is I need to work on in order to improve my relationship with Him first.
     Our children are growing leaps and bounds before our very own eyes. We pray that they are growing in their walk with Christ and that they would have a heart to desire a deeper relationship with their Heavenly father. We pray for decisions that are Christlike and that each of them would pray before step forward on the path before them. We pray for compassionate hearts for others in this world and that they would be lights for others in their darkness.
     Our faith stands firm in the knowledge of Jesus Christ and the foundation he has given us. We pray that this year will bring us blessings and lessons leading  each of us to a fullfillment in the life of Christ. May His joy overflow into our hearts so that we may be a light for other to see.

  1. Blessed to have your family at Freshwater serving in so many capacities! I encourage you, Beth, to continue to pursue your "quietness" and time of "stillness" before the Lord. Perhaps this is just a "season of being still".
