TBC's Third Sunday

One thing that surprises me each and every week is that new people continue to walk in the doors of Truth Baptist Church. This is only the Lord's doing, and it reminds me that He is still working in the hearts of people. Jen was saying the other day that she keeps mentally preparing herself for our attendance to be "just us," meaning the original 7 people we started with. I know just how she feels, because each Sunday (or Wednesday! We've even had visitors come out for Bible study on Wed nights) when someone else comes in, I say in my heart, "Praise the Lord!" It's so exciting to think He uses various ways to bring people to the services. By His grace He will continue to do so! We usually (can you say "usually" if you've only had 3 weeks of services?) have 20-some people in attendance on a Sunday morning, and 10-15 in the evenings.

This Saturday we've planned our first church picnic! It will be held at a local park, and we're excited to fellowship with those who come in a more casual way. Pray that people come and that we can start getting to know them beyond the surface "Do you live around here?" or "What do you do for work?" type questions. We want to develop more of a church family!

In all, we're very encouraged at what the Lord has done for us in starting this church. It's His work, and we pray that we'll have servant hearts to do this ministry for Him.

Resolving Everyday Conflict

If you've ever been asked to lead a discussion or teach about a certain spiritual discipline, you can be sure that the Lord will lovingly bring just that exact topic to the forefront in your own life. He'll graciously put your ugly sinful tendencies "right on Front Street," as my good friend Dara likes to say. This is grace! This is God's kindness to reveal sinful tendencies in our own hearts so that we can repent, seek renewed relationship with God and others, and be used of Him. Here is a story about one such evidence of God's grace to me. Josh and I were late to our small group last night. Oh, we were there . We had technically arrived on time, but we remained in the parking lot of the neighborhood's clubhouse for over 45 minutes before we were able to walk in holding hands. Much later in the evening, on our way home from Grace Group, Eden begged to be the one to fill the boys in on why we were late (the boys had driven separately from a soccer practice

The Hand of God

 I am in Scotland. S C O T L A N D. This is me; Joanna, the one whose comfort zone is within about one square mile, who said she never wanted to leave the USA, who hates to travel on anything public, who nearly hyperventilates at the mere mention of airplanes. How is this possible that I am here? Only by God's grace. Every step in front of the other, every long line, every minute on those airplanes was enabled by God's grace. On my end, it wasn't always pretty--usually it was very ugly--and I may have said, "I can't do this" more times than we could count (Josh had to tell me to quit saying that), but God was faithful to me and I have a really great story about one such miracle to share with you, but for perspective and contrast I have to share a really ugly story first. Here goes:  We dropped off our rental car in Dublin about 11am, and had to ride a shuttle bus back to the Dublin airport to catch our 1:10pm "quick" flight over to Edinburgh, Scotlan

The Whole Truth

Our cat, Willow, has kittens periodically. By periodically I mean about 2-3 times a year, and we don't hate it. We actually enjoy guessing when her due date is, how many kittens there will be, what they will look like, etc. Then when she has them, well, is there anything cuter than kittens? But sooner or later, 8 weeks later to be exact, it's time for those kittens to go. At that time we will put an ad on Craigslist and find homes for each and every one. This brings the fun hassle of sending people additional pictures, telling them again how much we are charging (that was in the ad!), setting up potential meetings with people who will ghost at the last minute, after we've already given them our address. Everyone should put an ad on Craigslist at least once just for the experience. Should you finally get someone who likes the look of a kitten, wants to pay the price, can meet at an agreeable time, successfully finds your house, is okay with the fact that the kittens haven&#
