So. . .all of my life I have attended the same church. I absolutely love the people! (I mean it's hard not to when you're dad's the pastor and your the "golden girl"). However, when Jon and I got married, he somewhat felt as though I was trying to fit him into my already existing world instead of beginning a new world with him. Though this made perfect sense to me, I still had a hard time with the idea of leaving my church. . .who am I kidding? I'm still having a hard time with this. This entire blog centers around changes and new things. After much prayer and talking it through, Jon and I devised a plan which included visiting only new churches at the beginning of the year. A pastor once said something along the lines of, "Visit us three weeks in a row and you'll be hooked." This stuck with me, and I have taken it to devise a new plan. We will visit a church 3 weeks in a row before moving on to the next one--that way we get a real feel for the place. Well, we are on our 2nd week at a new church--next week will be week 3 (obviously). Who knows where we'll end up?
I'm proud of you guys for trying out some new churches together. It's such a difficult step, but I know God will reward you in your faithfulness to find the right church for you guys to grow and serve. Love you!
