Church

What a great time we had at VBS family night last night. We are so blessed to have our church in our lives. I found a group of amazing women when I joined the New Mercies Sunday School class. They are not like any women I have ever known before. The greatest thing is that they are amazing because they are sinners letting God work. They aren't amazing because of anything they do. In fact, they would tell you how broken they are. But, God uses the weak to show His strength. Tyler has fantastic youth leaders who are helping us guide him. Ally has a great children's program (hence the VBS family night - where, yes, we saw a volcano erupt). Shawn has made friends with several families through his Sunday School class. One of our pastors and his wife (who helps lead New Mercies) have become such mentors to us. They are extremely wise and yet will again be the first to say how broken they are (I see a pattern here). I realize how truly different believers are from non-believers. I see it from the way they react to the April snow storm we had a few months ago to the way they treat a family in crises. I have spent much time in prayer thanking God for brining rocks into my life when I feel I am standing on sand.
