I'm about to enter the wide world of blogging...why?! you might ask. Well, I had a revelation while I was visiting my family back in PA over the July 4th holiday. I decided to start blogging all my thoughts, feelings, ideas, decisions, triumphs, and set-backs as it pertains to our adventure of church planting. My husband has known since freshmen year of college that God wanted him to start a new kind of church in our hometown of Reading, PA. At first, I thought he was crazy! Then as I began to pray and really think about it, I felt the call of God on me too. Trust me, I know it won't be easy and people think we are nuts for doing it, but we know it is God's plan for our lives.
As we have begun the beginning phases of this adventure, I decided to put down in writing everything I, as a church planter's wife, was experiencing and feeling. My hope is that by reading this blog you will be encouraged and see God work in our lives. Maybe one day these blogs will be compiled into a book to help other church planter's wives, but I pray these words bring you hope and strength!
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight!" Proverbs 3:5-6
Im stoked for you guys as you begin this journey of faith and passion! may you see His hand moving everywhere you look! I will be praying for you guys diligently! let me know if i can EVER do anything to help! Blessings from the West Coast! Dave Thompson
ReplyDeleteYou go, Nicole!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, by the way. I bet there are other church planter's wives out there who would love to build some community and exchange thoughts over the internet. :)
