Let's Keep Driving!

Lane 1 in the 3 lanes of life that I drive in the most!. FAITH

Last night, I had a great conversation with one of my neighbors, who also happens to be a minister at one of the local non-denominational churches in our city.  He is super nice and has a wonderful family. He has taken Brayden to church with him a couple times for special events and Brayden loves it.

As I said before, I am still searching for a church home for our family and maybe the reason I haven't found one was because I have been so stuck in the idea of needing a Baptist church that I couldn't see the other possibilities. Now, Jake is Catholic and I am Baptist. We were married in a Baptist Church by a Baptist minister and have always attended Baptist Church. Jake has never been terribly happy about going but would for the good of the foundation we want to build for our family.

So, maybe I can't see the forest for the trees or the trees for the forest, however that saying goes. Have I put too much focus on being in a Baptist Church that I have missed out on a great church that has everything we are needing?   I believe its time to change my perspective!

Hebrews 10:25
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (NIV)

This text stays with me after I read it. It lingers in the back of my mind and makes me think. I have had bad experiences with some churches, mainly because their members had forgotten to be kind.  I have tried to talk myself into thinking that church wasnt that important, but clearly,  I am wrong.

With all of this said, we will go to church this Sunday, and visit and try to find a church home for our family. A church that will grow our relationship with Christ and relationships with other Christians.
A church that will help to clear the debris from this lane of our lives.
