How deep is your love?

God's voice was clear and loud all day yesterday. When we moved here, one thing I was certain of was just how much I in love I was with our family. Well, it has been about three weeks since we moved and wow, I was so wrong! We missed you all so much that despite feeling the horrible fatigue of moving, we had to come see you. We visited home church, Providence, went to Nate's birthday party and throughout the day, God increasingly revealed just how much deeper the roots of my love, the love He gave me for you went and I was undone. I was sure this old heart was going to explode.

It's been really hard understanding why Poppa took us away from West Chester. Our life here in Kensington has been about unpacking boxes and desperately seeking His peace, especially about all the noise here. We have three bands right under us and they play whenever they want, as loud as they want and as long as they want. So the ongoing cry here is: "What were you thinking, God?!!!" and all He says is seek His peace and rest. So frustrating ;)

So many of you have been praying into this and sharing words of wisdom and we are beyond grateful. It is a true blessing knowing you have our backs. The spirit of loneliness overtook me one morning last week and I screamed at the Lord to take this from me - to have someone, anyone reach out to me. About 10 minutes later I received a text from Shawn sending us love. Then Ben called, then John G called. Then Sue sent a text that she, Carrie and Liz were praying for us. God is just good. He is and He will always will be and I so thank Him for showing me how to rejoice in His small miracles. He heals when we are alone and He heals when we gather together.

Last night at Providence, His Spirit all but knocked me over during worship! I had no idea how much I missed corporate worship. I felt like a hungry baby drinking the must wonderful mother's milk. God's shalom was so thick and so present it brought tears to my eyes and a healing to my heart. Yea God!

I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy. - Philippians 1: 3-4
