There are times when I remember exactly why I am married to the man I am married to. Times like the present when my faith is small or rather non-existent...he is able to sit back and relax and laugh at life because his faith is SO strong. Jon grounds me...and at times there is a part of me that wants to smack him because he won't worry with me...then I am gently reminded by the Lord that Jon is doing exactly what God has told him to. To have faith, and faith like a child that God will ALWAYS take care of us.
Lately my lack of faith has allowed me to worry and be stressed...not such a great Christian life I must say...Worry has been sucking the joy right out of my life...Someone once told me that worrying is like a rocking chair...keeps you busy for hours but gets you no where.
I have decided I am going to work on just trusting God more for our finances. More like God told me I need to work on trusting Him more via my sister. There is nothing more jarring then to have someone give you back your own Christian advice that you are not following...which my sister did to me yesterday...
So, other than the smack down from God about my faith I am busy reading books for next semester and working. Right now I am studying the trinity...and I am not sure I understand it any more now than I did half a book ago...but hopefully by the time I am done with all of my reading God will have increased my understanding...

Thank you so much for your wonderful post. It was so encouraging. Also just wondeful to hear someone on the "outside" see the situation for what it really is. People keep saying "I am sorry about what happened at church and we will pray for you", but I am not sorry or sad over it the least little bit. We truly believe God pulled us out of that place to have a pure church. I hope more peoples eyes are opened to the truth. We have anew name and already a building to worship in, Brown Funeral home, I can only imagine what some will think, but like a wise person said, we have been worshiping with the dead for more than 20 yr, that just cracks me up.
In less than a week God has provided us a new church, an offering bigger than what we got at shiloh with all the members there, a temporary building to worship in, and such grace and mercy. So we have moved forward and are no looking back. Again, thank you for that amazing post. By th way, Keira loved Isabella and they were buddies at church. I have the sweetest pic of them and will always tell Keira about her and what a doll she was. Just the Sunday before she passed they were holding hands after service heading outside, that will always be such a precious memory.
I remembered tonight you have this blog and I came here hoping you would have posted, just so I could know you are doing okay.
I am thinking of you constantly, always crying out to God on your behalf. Love you Barb.
