Thankfulness for Small wonders

Well, last time I wrote, I wrote about my pastor who was following the crowd. Sunday, everything changed. What started has a sermon on spiritual growth and doing whatever God calls us to do, turned into the pastor explaining that in Duet. 6 God told us what to do. It was great. He explained that it was the father's job to teach the children. I was thankful and proud. My husband and I were weeping with joy, to see this man of God do what he was called for. To lead... That is until he said,"And if it doesn't work, we will go back"

We were stunned. What??? How can you stand there for 15 minutes telling us that it is our job and it is what called us to do in this church and then say that? I don't understand. I don't remember God ever saying that if something doesn't work we don't have to do it. I mean come on now. Give me book, chapter, and verse. I will repent if my thinking is wrong. This is not some program that the pastor just pulled out of the air, this is the Word of God.

Double mindedness

I am so upset. I hate double mindedness( is that even a word?) Our pastor started family style Sunday School a few months ago, after being convicted of the wrongfulness of age segregation in the church. We were thrilled. That is how we believe and that is why we stayed at our current church. Well, tonight we were handed a survey, in which they want a vote on who likes the new style of the classes. Well, the majority don't, so we are doing away with it. My biggest problem is that our pastor is suppose to be the leader of our church. He clearly feels he heard from God, but because people can't control and train their children, he is going to do away with what God wants.

My family believes that having wrong theology is sin. It means that you are not studying the word of God enough. Well, I have tried to study the Word of God faithfully and I don't remember any of the apostles telling us how to conduct a vote in the church. Having a group of people dictate the way our church is ran is sin.

Well, now what do we do? We pray. Then we pray some more. I guess I can see this as God's answer to our pray about moving. We had been praying about moving so we can go to a church that is ran more biblically, maybe now is the time. I think most of all I am just hurt. We were asked to stay so that we could help the church become family integrated. Now, this.

New Here

Hello all. I am Trish and as you can see I am new here. There are a few blogs that I read on this site, so I figured I might as well start one. This will be my ramblings about my journey through life, homeschooling and faith. I will have questions and rejoicing along the way. I am growing in the wonderful truth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, and like all growth spurts, it can get very painful. I am hoping to be encouraged and challenged while I am here. With that out of the way, let me tell you a little about my family.

I have been married to the most wonderful man for the last 13 years. We have had our ups and downs, but I am ever grateful that God placed him in my life. We are renewing our vows this October.

Next, we have 2 children here on earth. My son who is 12 and my daughter who is 6. We have 5 children in heaven. We both want many more children and are praying for the ability to adopt, also. We have been homeschooling for 6 years and will to do it until they go to college.
