Me, as a LEGO :)
1,000 gallons of water every 5 minutes...crazy!
On our way up there, around Clare, MI, I saw two eagles in flight. Now, every time I see an eagle, I am going to think of Pastor Scott and our church family....weird how things happen like that and then something becomes like a symbol to you. But, as I watched them fly, I was reminded of God's faithfulness to our church. We have been in a time of transition, praying and searching for a lead pastor since August. Our search committee finally (and unanimously) presented a candidate, Jeremy Toyer, to our church for a vote on February 2nd and our church voted (very strongly) in favor of calling him...and he and his family--wife and 6 kids...5 sons and a daughter...ha! (very strongly) accepted the position. I am so thankful for God's leading in this very important decision for our church. We have also been blessed, in the last couple weeks, to be offered another church building (free of charge) in Parma, MI. We have a lot of thoughts about what we could do with it as a community center, so we are just praying that God will give us clarity for the purpose of His gift to us. It is so exciting for me to know I am a part of a church where God is working!
You would also like this one....I was at Meijer on Saturday night to pick up a few items and I was ready to leave and had just started my van when I saw a young lady (with red hair) struggling to push her cart through the snow and ice. She was giving it her all, but it wouldn't budge through the messy parking lot with her load of groceries. So, I got out and asked her if I could help her push it. She said, "I don't know why I can never find my car...I came out this way, but my car is two aisles over there!" I told her I used to do that too until...and then my story about the grocery store parking lot and my wisdom in always parking in D from one of my previous blogs. I laughed and thought, "it happens to us all...not just blondes or brunettes, but even red heads too." We finally got it pushed over the ice and she was able to get to her car...that was a fun adventure! Don't you think sometimes God puts little coincidences in our lives just to make things interesting...I love that about Him! If you were God, wouldn't you have some fun with that too? He's all that...and AWESOME too!
