Marc gave his final message to the members of GMZBC this morning. To say that it wasn't emotional is an understatement. We both got a little choked up.......I basically cried like a big baby. I can honestly say for the first time in a longtime I felt comfortable with the direction that God is taking us as a couple and a family. His message was "Praise Ye the Lord", from Psalms 150.
1) Its very hard to say goodbye to people that you consider family, but unlike other pastors and wives who usually have to relocate to a new town or state our home church is just over the bridge from WABC.
2) What God has for you, really is for you. I get it now why God is moving us.
3) I made it through two services at my home church. It felt good to know that we are loved and will be missed. Sometimes people just need to hear it and feel it. It has taught me a very important lesson about unconditional love.
4) I learned today that some of my family and friends read my blog without having to be lead there via a link.
5) I'm learning how protective my kids are of Marc and I. They would go to blows with people over their mom and dad. Thankfully its not needed very often.
6) It really is to my family's best interest for me to go to bed at a decent hour on Saturday nights. It makes for a lot happier mom, which makes for a lot happier family on Sunday morning.
7) Waking up at 5:30 am on Sunday morning means I need to be in bed early on Sunday night!
8) The folks at WABC are not playing. They don't like it when their pastor is away.
9) We need a vacation break, fast! I'm thinking Disney (lol).
10) Planning an installation service takes a lot of time an attention to detail.
11) Black stockings work a lot better then tan!
12) This new "job"" is going to require a new wardrobe (granted it won't be matching suits and shoes), but the number of events we are expected to attend is wearing out my limited fall wardrobe. Besides what girl needs a reason to shop?
13) I will miss the youth at GMZBC. Which leaves this youth leader with a dilemma. I will have to meditate on what my new role will be in ministry. After nearly 14 years in youth ministry I am not sure that this is the direction God is taking me at WABC. Only time will tell.
14) Glad to be home in time for Sunday night TV.
15) Learned my lesson last week about posting the Sunday mind dump late....hence the reason its early tonight.
Until next week...........Cyndi (AKADisneyqueen, AKAScrapper, AKAPreacherwife).
