So it's been a few weeks since I've posted anything and I thought it was about time I posted again. Lamar has been busy laying the tile in the basement, he actually finished that a couple of weeks ago and we painted the basement too so hopefully we are finished with painting and laying tile and all that stuff for a long, long time. It just seems like since we've moved here that there's been all these little things that we HAVE to fix and it gets really frustrating, I know that everything happens for a reason but I just want to know why the basement flooded, or why I now have this fear of staying by myself, why was the car not driving like it should and having to get that fixed...etc. I might not ever know the reason why these things happened and I have to be ok with it, it's just super frustrating. One of my friends was texting me yesterday and she just reminded me that no matter what God is going to take care of us, sometimes it's nice to hear that because I have a tendancy to forget that.
  So on a brighter note, we have a building for the church and I'm so excited about it. We're not exactly sure of the launch date just yet, but hey, at least we have a building. It's so exciting to look back over the past year and see how this entire process has unfolded. There was a little part of me that never thought we'd actually move with this church plant but I'm so glad we did, I love being there/here from the beginning. I remember our first meeting with Ben & Tina at their house in Champaign and I was so nervous, I let Lamar do all the talking that night, shocking I know ;) but I remember getting in the car on our way home just crying and telling Lamar that I'm not sure that I feel called to do this but knowing in my heart that this is what we are supposed to do. And now, 16 months later we're here, we have a church building, and we're starting small group this week. Aaaagggghhhh so exciting!!!!!! Anyway that's all I have right now, I will try to do better about posting, because my posts or soooooo exciting(insert saracasim)
