Journal

So I wrote in the last page of my journal today. My husband got me this journal last year for Christmas and I have treasured its special meaning. I went back and read the first couple of entries I made in the journal which would have been December of 2007. In the prayer I prayed that God would let us find a church that is home. I was struck by the fact that almost exactly one year ago we were looking for a church home, one that we could feel comfortable and that would "fit", we have tried a few this year and well, I am happy to say that we are a part of Element Church and it is home. We all really love it and find it to be a great place to worship God. It is exciting to think about raising our kids there and them knowing that church can be and is different where we worship. That we the people form the church and our heart is for our community.

In fact, today as we were driving by Riverview High School Grace said, "We used to go to church there!" I asked her which church she liked best and she said, "The one we go to now." When I asked her why, she told me because she likes her teachers and class there the best, that they do fun things and even though they don't go outside, it is her favorite, and it takes alot to be "going outside in Grace's book.
