Waiting on God...

Chris and I recently returned from a trip out to CA where Chris had an interview at a church in Visalia. We used to live in Visalia and enjoyed living there in the early 90's. We met some wonderful people and sensed their heart for worship and their love for the Lord. We enjoyed the entire time there and now we are awaiting the Lord's leading. We are still open to other churches as we await God's clear direction.

Some have asked about Chris's 'varied' denominational background. We have served in many different churches... Baptist, United Methodist, Christian & Missionary Alliance, Covenant, and Christian Reformed. We both have some Baptist and lots of Christian & Missionary Alliance in our backgrounds. But after much reflection, I would say that what is most important is a heart that truly desires to worship God. While we can appreciate and understand various denominational positions, a heart that follows hard after God is essential to a deep worship experience.

So we continue to seek God's leading to the next ministry position. In the meantime, the boys and I are enjoying having Dad at home. I especially appreciate him taking part in their home schooling and I can tell the boys like it too. It's nice to have a fresh perspective on things from time to time!

What are you waiting on God for? Whatever it is, I hope that you are in the Word and praying without ceasing. He is mindful of your circumstance and is already working on your behalf. Even though you may not see his hand, you can always trust his heart.

Trusting His heart, Lori
