This weekend, Adam and I had a whirlwind trip to Nor Cal. We drove up early Saturday morning. By early I mean we left the house at 6:30 am (and we slept through our alarm which was set for 4:40 am). We made it home in great time and had lunch with my family.
Next on the agenda was the Salinas-Lineback wedding which was absolutely beautiful and a great time. We celebrated with the newlyweds until late that evening.
Sunday morning we shared with the adult Bible study class at Fairway Park Baptist Church, my parent's church. We were blessed by the questions, prayer, and financial support that were offered. Adam was especially delighted to meet a couple that had been friends with his grandparents.
Our next stop was Lighthouse Bible Fellowship for morning service and then a meeting with the elder board where we were similarly encouraged by prayer and the promise of financial support.
It meant a great deal to us to experience the support of the churches we have been a part of. It was much deeper than just the financial support, it was also personal, emotional, and spiritual support that we desired and were blessed to receive in abundance.
It is a scary thing to decide to give up life as you know it, to pack away your belongings, move away from family and to say, "Ok Lord, we are willing to do this thing. Make it work!" This weekend, we saw that the Lord is making it work.
Although Adam and I arrived home Sunday night exhausted, with the promise of exhaustion all week, we were nonetheless revived.
