As in vay-cay? Road Trip!*

Just a brief note to let you all know that I am officially out of the blog-o-sphere for the next week. I leave today (Wednesday) for Kentucky with Bess and Anne. We will meet up with Mom, Grandma, Aunt Amy, and Cousin Jake at Grandma’s in KY in the evening -- provided all goes well. I plan to get back next Tuesday night after a nice, relaxing week.

Hooray for vacations!!

*The title is a quote from Legally Blonde, which, I must admit, I like quite a lot.

A Call to Unity and Submission

My home church's building burned down Saturday morning, for those of you who don't already know. We were scheduled to break ground for a new educational wing Sunday morning, but evidently God had other plans! Now, we're just working to catch on to His. :o)

As my title indicates, unity and submission are two things greatly on my heart at this time. Zion Church is a strong body, but the stress of change can do funny things. Though I don't anticipate division, hardship is certainly upon us and we would be foolish not to be wary of such a visitor. Oh, how good it was to worship this morning with the body of Christ! It was wonderful to gather together and know that our communion together has not changed. How dearly I love my brothers and sisters!

But along with big decisions always come strong opinions. I joyfully anticipate the contribution of ideas for how Zion could move forward, though I pray fervently that God will give us each the grace to submit to our leadership once they come to definitive decisions. May we trust our leadership implicitly, may they be unified in Christ, and may God guide our steps as we seek to be faithful with all He has given us!
