IT’S A NEW SEASON


Psalms 1:1-3 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor sits in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the laws of the Lord and in His law, he meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither and whatever he does shall prosper.

Was it really just 5 years ago, we were facing one of the most brutal, bewildered storms in our life.  We were battered, bruised, dazed and all alone.  We felt forgotten and unloved.  We had no home to go to and no idea where that home should be.  Three minister friends, Ruth Harris, Dorianne Murdock, and Al Gossan reached out to us to assure us that we were not forgotten or unloved and were welcome to worship with them, if God led us to their area.  Believe me we have NEVER forgotten your love and kindness to us during that dark season.

Well God led us to Grand Blanc, MI, (I still am not sure why), gave us a beautiful home and awesome neighbors.  The “Cloud of His Spirit” has hovered over this location for almost 5 years but NOW…..the “Cloud” has moved and Steve and I will walk into a new season.

It is a season that we look forward to with great excitement.  It is a season full of possibilities and many, many unknowns; but then again that is the way the future is meant to be because it is in the unknown that Faith in God and following the leading of His Spirit becomes our focus.

So as we enter this new, exciting season, we say goodbye to Len and Stephanie and Ray and Kathy.  Thank you for being awesome, loving, supportive neighbors.  Thank God for FB, we will stay in touch.  And we say hello to all the wonderful, new people God is going to bring into our life.
Seasons are just that; SEASONS.  They last for the exact length of time God has set to accomplish His will in your life and then He leads you to the next chapter in His plan.  If you are going through a rough season, keep praying, keep following a step at a time, God is doing a work in you.  If you are going through a wonderful, happy season, keep praying, keep following a step at a time, God is giving you a breather and restoring your strength because exciting things lie ahead.


We serve a Good, Good God.  He is the God of the Mountain, the God of the Valley and the God of every season.  Have a blessed day, today and REJOICE!
