Changing Churches....huh?

I have hesitated to make any mention of my current thoughts because they have purely been a scrambled mess. Nearly the only thoughts that have been through my brain in the last 10 weeks has been our church situation. Corey and I have been attending our hometown church for 14 years now and due to some rocking of the boat we felt led to visit other churches. The church we visited was also a local church and was truly was fantastic. The minute we walked in the doors we felt welcomed and loved. But the loss in our hearts became nearly unbearable. I volunteered at Vacation Bible School last week at our lifelong church and it really struck a nerve. Through lots of prayer we decided to revisit our church as a family this last Sunday. It was undescribable. I expected a few people to notice we were gone but nearly everyone we came into contact with specifically said "you simply can't leave". It was the exact constructive criticism I needed. I know God has great plans in store for us whether it be at our church since childhood or somewhere else. Wherever it might be I just pray God keeps His hand on our family.
