A Season of Rest...

The biggest fear in this move for me, Alecia, was trying to find a church home. I know that nothing will take the place of our awesome church home in the UK but we know that we need to find a home.

We have attended several churches since arriving here in NC. As of today, the search continues.
Every Saturday one of us asks the dreaded question... where are we going to church tomorrow? I hate making the kids go to a different church every week to try out the kids programs, they are anxious to get settled too. Poor little Levi refuses to go to any kids programs right now. He is waiting until we are settled to go to the kids programs. We also want to plug in so we can start serving the Lord again too.

A couple weeks ago I was talking to the boys about the Creation story and we talked about how God rested on the seventh day. He didn't rest because he was tired, he rested because it was good. The Lord spoke directly to me and said "My child, enjoy this short season of rest! It won't be for long! Rest and enjoy all I have given you."

If you knew us in England, we were ALWAYS busy and loved it! We have thoroughly enjoyed having a completely OPEN DOOR policy!! But honestly, i can say now that I was tired. So, I am excited to enjoy this short season of rest! I love that we can just enjoy being a family! We have spent countless nights outside watching the kids ride the motorcycle, playing games and just hanging out. It is kind of nice not knowing anyone because there is no expectations!

Now as for my response to the Lord, I told him that I am totally enjoying all that he has blessed us with! But my prayer is still that we will find a church home soon, we don't need to plug in and start serving right away, but just that we know where we are supposed to be!

I am going to enjoy this Season of Rest!! How about you? Do you ever have seasons, days, hours or even minutes of rest to get lost in all God has blessed you with?
