What a day!

What a day this was!!! I'm not just talking about the weather, either. It seems like Satan tries to get me upset before I go to church. I woke up early this morning, and found that our cat, Buddy, had thrown up on the front room carpet. By the time I had that mess cleaned up, I was awake, and really didn't have much time left to sleep anyway. So, I just fixed a pot of coffee and went on. We were going to visit Calvary Missionary Baptist Church for the morning service, and we had read online that the service started at 10:45am. We got there at 10:35am, and the service had already started. It seems they recently changed their service time to 10:30am. Oops! We had a good service anyway.

After having dinner with Carolyn's parents, like we do every week, we went home to rest. Neither of us felt very good, so rest sounded grand. We have decided to visit two different churches every Sunday, unless God leads us to go to both services. We decided to visit the First Assembly of God church on Rd. 3 for the evening service. The online directory, on the Courier-Times website, said they had evening service at 6:3opm. We got there at 6:20pm, and guess what? Nobody was there. We found somebody at the fellowship hall and asked them what was going on, and they told us they only have a youth service on Sunday nights now. As we drove off the lot, we looked at the church sign, and they did have the service time taped over. Wow!

We tried to make the most of it, and headed off to the Spiceland Pike Church of God a few blocks away, since they had a 6:3opm service too, we hoped. When we pulled on the lot, I drove up to the front door to make sure the time was right, and SURPRISE, they were having a Family Night Lunch! Long story longer, we didn't go to church tonight. I am always saying that EVERYTHING happens for a reason, but I can't seem to figure this one out. I felt like a failure to God for not making it to church, but we just had to laugh. If we didn't, we'd cry.

We have had SO many people telling us we are crazy for leaving our church and doing what we're doing. If I were them, I might think the same thing. But I'm hoping those same people will let God do what He is going to do with us, and trust that we just might be doing the RIGHT thing. I know it's natural to be selfish, and want what we want, but sometimes, you have to let go, and let God.

The day has been crazy, but I truly believe God's will is being done, even in the midst of all the craziness. Our God is truly, an AWESOME God!!! May His will always be done in our lives.
