We are here. Geographically speaking, we are in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Specifically speaking, we are 1,280 miles from anyone or anything we’ve known. We’ve left our comfort zone of sweet tea, grits, sweltering summers and mild winters, family, and friends.
We were excited to go to church this past Sunday, but which one? There are over 85 different religious organizations in the Colorado Springs area! Of course, I will be the first to tell you, I don’t want to go to a “religious” organization, I want to go to church. I read a positional article on leadership from a church called “Mountain Springs Church” which talked about how church leadership needs to be re-evaluated in order to facilitate evangelistic growth. I liked the article and decided we would go there. I sit here trying to describe the service, but I can only relate it to coming out of the desert. No pre-tense, no pride, no shame, no reservations.
Will this be our home church? I don’t know. I can’t tell you where we will be next year, but I can tell you that although it feels very scary to not know your future, it is amazingly peaceful knowing that your steps are being ordered by an all-knowing, loving God. No more pew warming, no more mediocre christian.
Glad you guys are there and safe!! 🙂 I love you!
