I have been wanting to write this post all month, but I haven't made the time. I can't take the chance of the month ending without expressing how thankful we are for our precious church family at First Baptist Parker! This month marks one year that we have been worshipping with this body of believers, and our family has been so blessed! Only the Lord knew what we would face in this first year at FBC - Parker, and we know that his sovereign plan has been shown through our lives! Prayerfully, the events of the last year have been for His glory and our good! Thank you to our God, for the grace He has given me each day. Thank you to a precious pastor and his wife that have sacrificed their own time and blessed us with prayer, education (on lessons I would rather not have had to learn), and shared wisdom beyond measure! Thanks to my sweet friends that have loved my children like their own, brought us meals (and cooked meals for our freezer), prayed for us, and encouraged me over the last few months! I have prayed so long for friends that are liked minded in the Lord ... He has provided in His time! Thank the Lord for providing this church for our family! We have received such encouragement from this body. I want to close with an encouraging quote and scripture that friends sent me a few months ago:"I've learned to bless the wave that crushes me against the Rock of ages" ... I have no idea to whom to credit that quote, but it blessed me and pointed my thoughts toward heaven ... and continues to help me keep my focus!
Isaiah 26:3&4 "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal."
