....A Personal Note or Two

First, I have to say it has been a whirlwind past 6 days for me. I have just woken up from a 2 hour "nap" only to realize that it's nearly time for me to go to sleep for the night. Here are some of the things that have been going on in the past 6 days.
Last weekend a few interesting things happened that I would like to share about.

To start, while my husband and I were waiting in the doctor's office waiting room, my husband was suddenly struck by a car---now, before you become alarmed, I will tell you that he's just fine-not a scratch, not a bruise. How did this happen, you might ask? Well, we were sitting inside the doctor's office with our backs against the outside wall when suddenly a car from outside backed right into the wall of the doctor's office.( I guess she didn't technically back "into" the wall), but she hit the wall hard enough where there was a window (that miraculously didn't break), that the window and wall flexed so much that my husband and his chair were pushed a good 6 inches forward by the car. Bizarre, isn't it? It's hard to explain in writing what happened, but once we, and everyone else, got over the initial shock of the situation and were thankful everyone was okay, I got a case of the giggles-a completely inappropriate way to respond to the seriousness of the situation, I know! But really, the irony of it all. Here we were to see the doctor for a very very minor problem, and while we are waiting in a "safe" place inside, we are basically hit by a car.

My husband and I have also been busy with meetings and discussions basically all week to help us with some decisions we have to make in the near future, so this has been an added stress to the week.

Sunday was a really refreshing day for us as we spent the day fellowshipping with fellow believers, worshiping the Lord, and hearing from the Word of God. This is definitely something to praise God for. We have finally found a church that is teaching and rightly dividing the Word of God. Those who preach at this church and many of its attenders are also aware of, and not afraid to speak out about, the unbiblical trends sweeping through so many of the churches today. We really feel at home here and are amazed at the way God led us here. Also, we have met another couple here who left the same church we left, in the same month we left, for the same reasons we left. We had never met this couple until we started attending the church we now have been attending for a few months. God is so good and so faithful!

The past few days have been stressful for me as I tried to quickly scrap together a term paper for one of my more difficult classes. I have been up until nearly 2 am for the past three days in a row, trying to get this essay done. I finally finished it late last night and handed it in today. I'm very thankful to be finished that! Now, I have plenty of work to catch up on and studying to do as I will be writing exams for the next few weeks. Therefore, the posts here may be few and far between for awhile. But then again, they might not be. I just discovered some political tidbits that speak about extreme and exclusive religions, etc. that I'll blog about shortly.

That was a very interesting post Jenna...wow, the irony of it all.

And what good news to hear you have found a new church! God is good!
