We first asked for release from our last church in 2002. The pastor asked us to wait. We did. Then in about 2005 I again began asking for release, this time from the Lord. He gave it in 2007, with our pastor’s blessing.

We spent months trudging from church to church with our five children. It seemed we’d never find a home in which to rest. But the whole time, I prayed, “Lord, please put us where YOU want us.”

He finally put us in our new home church. We’ve been there a year and a half, and we’re thriving like never before. I’ve found blessings here I didn’t think possible this side of heaven. Though it took over five years, I’m so glad we waited upon the Lord, for He has blessed accordingly.
