First Sunday at GFBC of Conroe..

On and off over the past year we have attended Grace Family Baptist Church. Though we loved the order of the church, the service, and the STRONG Word. We always struggled with the lack of friendliness in the people. We don't deem ourselves as unapproachable people. Actually I think we are pretty friendly as a family. None the less, there was no personal contact, nor relationship formed in the 3 or 4 months that we visited there. Out of frustration, desire for Godly fellowship and accountability in our lives, Samuel chose to move us on.

We found this little fellowship close to our home, with lots of wonderful fellowship, as sweet as that fellowship was, they lacked order in the church. What a great heart these people have, loving each other and truly being involved in each others lives. Truly having a heart for the lost, and truly carrying each other’s burdens of life.  Graciously my beloved spoke to the Pastor, many times we prayed for the Lord to change our hearts, or to restore unto this place a new foundation. But neither happened.. so out of obedience to our Lord, and desire for Godly order in the service, my beloved moved us back to Grace Family Baptist but just in time for a new church plant. IMG_1446

Yesterday we attended GFBC Conroe's first service. Oh how sweet the fellowship was.

Everyone was excited and enthusiastic about the expansion, and the plant, people were friendly, the service was wonderful and went smoothly, and the Preaching was powerful! (Message was on Worship- Why we are to worship, and What is it is to Worship?)

Dare I say we have found our church home, NO because we are not of this world, it is not our home. My beloved is obedient to heed the call of God on our lives, and where He leads we will follow. But for the time being we will enjoy the fellowship, and worship with this family.

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Goodbye Facebook...Hello thoughts...

Well I did... I took the plunge and deactivated my facebook. It is amazing how much of a time consumer it is. It eats time like you would not believe. I am hoping, praying with this new found time, and lack of distraction that it will give me motivation to blog more. As my young men get older, move closer and closer in considering that step towards becoming one with someone.. I have come to realize there are so many resources out there pointed at men and what they need to do, or what they need to be as men to get married. The sad thing is there is hardly anything for young women. Today I challenge Paul to look at a questionaire done by Stacey and James McDonald( you can find it on Staceys  blog thesacredcalling.com)  that they put together for young suitors for their daughters. After reading it he came down so heavy hearted. Guess the realization of the spiritual, emotional and physical responsibilities of it all became very burdensome. Of course I shared how we could do noth...

Saying "I love you"...

Thinking about these words. These words that are to express our deepest emotions. These words that are to leave us vunerable and open, just do not seem to have the impact they use to. Many people use these words so fleeting. They use them as if to say "thank you", or "I thought about you today". For me "I love you" is not an easy thing to say. If I say I love you- I mean it from way down deep in my heart. They are not just words to be said but also words, that are to be put into action. Have you ever thought about that? When someone says "I love you", do they show through their actions that they love you?  or do they leave you going Huh, really? I have had those thoughts, wondering if the person who has declared their love really does love me because actions speak louder than words to me. I hear their words but then on the other hand see their actions and  they do not act like a person who even cares about my well being. Jesus never states in the...
